Two guys out in an apartment in Timonium had me jump around in front a green screen last Thursday. It was a good time! They had a $5,000 Panasonic digital video camera and an idea for an entry into some contest the FX channel is having. They’re shooting a 3 minute demo/pilot for some comedy show. Of that three-minute pilot, there’s 30 seconds of a fake Karate commercial. The main character watches a Karate commercial on TV. I’m the star of that Karate commercial. The guys filmed me for two hours and of that two hours they’re going to edit it down to 30 seconds. Should be interesting. I had at least three lines: “I will teach you how to fight!” “You will learn Tiger Style, Seven Circles of Death, and how to Destroy All Opposition!” “No degree needed for assistant sensei.” I jumped around and did punches and kicks, played a guitar, and waved a large American flag, among other things. The finished product will be online eventually- I’m looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. It just goes to show that you can be pretty inventive these days with a good digital video camera and video editing software. Another good thing about the shoot was how quick it all happened- I learned about the shoot on a Tuesday and by Thursday I was doing it. My acting career rockets to new heights!
