NPCing! On film!

[breakinglight11]

I had an fun and unusual experience yesterday-- I filmed a briefing for bronzite's next Battletech campaign in the character of one of his NPCs. I really enjoyed the whole process. I've only done a little bit of on-camera acting, most of which was for my silly internship, and it usually didn't give us enough time to learn our lines well enough, or do enough takes to really get it right. This was a simple setup that with a little creativity on our part we worked out pretty well, and I feel pretty good about my performance. I'm very excited to see the finished product, once zapf films the part of the lecherous pirate on whom my Wolf Guards are declaring war. :-) We will crush you, you space scum! I also got to keep my costume, a neat-looking olive-drab coat that is quite cozy. I feel kinda guilty about accepting it, as Bronzite bought it expressly for the purpose of the shoot, but as he put it, it was exactly going to fit him. So, thank you, sir, very generous of you. I hope of those you who are in this campaign enjoy my portrayal. :-)

So after hearing about this, accepting, then hearing that my character was a lecherous pirate commander, *then* hearing that I'm smarmy and lecherous towards some female upstart, *THEN* hearing that that upstart was you.... I got quite excited to do this. It's sad we don't get to actually act with each other, but I think it's going to be awesome, especially since we haven't seen the other's take on the script beforehand.

Oh, also, I'm doing this in my generic-eastert-european-quasi-londo Voice. It's going to be epic.

Heehee. I can't wait to see your performance the finished product. Also, you may be amused to hear that when Brewer was reading your part for me to respond to, he did his best approximation of your generic-eastern-european-quasi-londo voice. He said, "I don't know if it's how I see the character. But I definately know it's how I see Sheena doing the character." :-D
