ARGH! My Orthapedist!

Well, we finished filming our Red Dwarf film yesterday, and I had fun. I've spent a large portion of today editing it, and have finished a rough cut, but there were a few things bugging me (like the total lack of introduction) so I've gone back and edited it further. A few shots look a bit off, but that can't be helped. Over all, I was very impressed with how it turned out. Mainly because of everybody who helped.

Little embaressed they all out acted me completely since I'm the one who does Theatre Studies, but that was just plain awesome. They acted brilliantly and gave it their all, going through all kinds of things just for the sake of film. The fact we have a finished copy to watch (which got a positive reaction from Boote) is great, and while I'm typing this an intro sequence for the movie is compiling, based off the old action TV shows I'm so found of. It isn't going to win any prizes, but I'm proud of it, and it is pretty funny at times.

Sitting back and being able to watch us do all that crazy stuff is great, having a hilarious shoot outs, fights, quipping heroic (and not so heroic) lines and more. My personal favourite shot is me diving into a front roll drawing a gun as the Ace Rimmer theme kicks in. Looks pretty good and I come off looking more cool than stupid, which was a big plus. Pete's improvised lines for his defeats were fantastic, stealing the show from anything scripted, and Cooper and Pete in general turned minor nothing characters into pretty much the stars. And of course, without Boote filming, it wouldn't have been possible.

So thanks for helping guys! I dunno if you'll enjoy watching it as much as me, but it was certainly worth the effort from where I'm sat!
