Pre Production, Step 2

Talk.

Talk is cheap, but it is essential to getting the script away from the computer and onto a firmer footing. Talking to friends and family, talking to backers, talking to other professionals.

But when it comes to CWP, I talk to four people in particular. First to La P, she is always the first person that sees the work hot off the press. Very closely, it is El M. If he likes it, then it is OK. Finally, J and K get to have a sneak peak. They grumble and moan but I usually ignore them as that means it will be just fine.

As a director it is important at all times to be EVIL to your actors.

Now, here is an emergency Vlogsup Vid.

Documentary 3 - Kay the Cool

CWP Documentary 2: Jay

Jay is the dynamo of CWP the Movie. It is his story and his characterisations that are probably closest to mine in all of the stories I have written so far. For me, Jay is a key character in The Paint not just in what he does, but how he does it.

The Casting...

When I first wrote the feature script for Caution Wet Paint I did not have a clue who I would cast. For me, the importance was the chemistry between Jay and Kay, That chemistry, the bouncing off each other was essential to maintain the humour of the script. The straight laced Jay, the whacky Kay, these were two factors that would be essential to the tellng of the story.

So to further explain yesterday's documentary (view by clicking the link), the casting of Ari and Kuldip was by no means secured. I did not know them at all when I wrote the first draft for Caution Wet Paint. But when I was editing An East End Tale I saw the scene with Kuldip (who played Chandran) and Ari (who played Tony) together. They cracked me up, which was their intention. I showed the scene to Nick while we were cutting music for the film and I remember telling him that those two should be in a comedy together.

The rest, as they say, is history...

CWP Documentary 1

A little less comedy and a little more seriousness for now. Here is a short little documentary on how I started CWP, what the first Webisode The Bus Stop" was all about and why I actually cast Ari and Kuldip as the two lead characters.
