SOME RIOT

Some Riot

A short film I was involved in with some fantastic and talented people.  I would like to thank all involved and congratulate them for creating a fantastic piece of work:

What follows death? To a man breathing his last, this question is everything. Seeking solace in his own personal Elysium, the Man attempts to come to terms withe life's only certainty. Through this, he hopes to finally overcome his fear and find peace.

Working With the crew was great they were so easy to get on with and worked smoothly which created a very positive environment whilst on set.  Joshua Glenn directed in a highly professional manner making me feel at ease and able to relax and work with the character and voice over.  Jon Roslin was the producer and was on set making everything and everyone feel comfortable and making sure everything ran smoothly.



Me as the character of Death



In this short film was a great opportunity for me to play both the central roles and the voice of the piece.  Above you can see me fully suited standing in (hovering above) the lake making a striking image.



Me as the character of The Man



Many different expressions were required for this piece and I was able to experiment and play with them as the crew worked their magic



Some awesome shots were taken :)



The contemplation fear and yearning for clarity mystified the character and this is conveyed well in the film.  All the crew were professional and worked efficiently.



Some amazing special effects were added



When I first had a chance to see the film the camera work editing and special effects really amplified the piece and brought the culmination of work together to make a really fine piece of work.  The butterfly is really amazing and works wonderfully.



Death stands in on the lake waiting.....



Standing in the water was a great experience especially when looking at the pics taken.  You really get a great feel from these shots captured perfectly.



The hands of Death and The Man reaching for each other



Make-up was utilised to create a great texture to my hands and face it amplified certain elements of the whole piece.

All in all the finished product is fantastic I loved working on it and look forward to the first screening.
