Good Morning with Helen & Bob

This still is from a short "TV Morning Show" we shot for a 'wow, how hot is it in London today?' sequence that plays in the background as Steve Lynch gets dressed on the fateful morning.

The almost ubiquitous Helen Liston plays yet another part.

Mostly we should be perturbed that we were so good at faking this.

On the radio

Big shoutout to Michael Greco for promoting the movie on TalkSport this week. We got a ton of emails about it.

I've been working on a full piece about Michael's work on this film. It'll be ready soon. It's a long one! 

Above is from some greenscreen footage of Steve Lynch we shot just in case, that will probably appear in the trailer.

Hard at work 7

Prepping the Peter Denby office scene shot at Mark Stewart Productions in Ladbroke Grove.
We'd like to thank everyone there, particularly Mark, Paddy, Shawn and Hannah for the many, MANY favours they did us over the years.

Andre de Souza in a reflective mood

Producer Hugh Edwards

Set Photographer/3rd camera Andy Cockerill

Note that Andy is wearing his reknown white t-shirt on set in the photo above. If you ever want to drive a cameraperson or DOP crazy, wear a bright reflective surface near the set, while moving around.

At one point, we actually thought Jonas Mortensen was going to kill him. It is worth noting that later shots have Andy in a black t-shirt with only some light bruising.

Hard at work 3

Almost a brains trust: 

Jerome Scott, Helen Liston, Mark Tierney, Jeremy Henman, Hugh Edwards

Soundman (and part-time killer), Angus Sutherland, 2005

Jonas Mortensen, DOP

Helen Liston, Neil Sheppeck, Suzanne Gardner

We're working hard to get back in a couple of scenes we thought we were going to lose for various reasons. This is possibly the most creative part of the entire process - to unpick scenes and recontextualise the same dialogue to work for new motivations and action. 

Fun!!

PS: If any of the crew or actors reading this have photos, stories, or anything relevant to the blog, please email it to nakedinlondon08@gmail.com.

Ok, we're busy.....

and film's a visual medium right? So more set pics.

Jonas Mortensen and friend: the incomparable Francesca Stone. 

Mark Tierney, Hugh Edwards (Producer), Philip Carson (makeup)

These two pics were taken at the ill-fated Tim Dalkey scene (that character was cut from the film to make way for Colin Salmon's 'Ralph'). It was a terrific shoot, with actor Mark Wilson and a cast of great girls supposedly lounging after a heavy debauch. 

Michael Greco gave some of his best work that day.  In the way of these things, it will never be part of the finished film.

Our DOPs

Bjorn Hellem, Jonas Mortensen & Andre de Souza
on set in Chiswick, 2005

This film had a few DOPs (Directors Of Photography) over the many shoots, but the primary ones were Jonas Mortensen, Bjorn Hellem (the human tripod) and Andre de Souza.

Without them, this project would not have been possible. Their incredible patience and hard work for very little money is one of the main reasons this film exists and all of us who worked on this project salute them.
