Hello just thought I would leave a link to he trailer for Dungeon Siege

CLick here to link there!

The only way to show you all how busy I have been is with a time line. This repeisents the last two weeks from Nov 11, 4pm to Nov. 24, 3am.

Friday the 11 of November
Maja Katie and I go to Whistler to work for Peter and his Cirque company we are to be stage hands as they perfom at a huge party all night long.

They perform a different act every ten minutes. The party had hired 65 models to be naked and painted head to toe. They didnt even have socks on. the detail and art that went into each one was amazing. They were all walking ads for all different types of booze and some bottled water.

Maja and Katie got inspired and of there own free will got tank tops painted on that said the Underground Cirques. They were the topless stage hands. Most stage hands i wouldnt want to see toppless but This was Ok by me. Besides its very difficult to tell whats what through paint. They actualy did look like they were wearing tank tops.

Oh ya and the circus was good too.





We work from 4 pm till 2 am we enjoy the party for an hour then go to Katies cabin to relax and sleep because we must take it all down at 6 am. There is another show at 11 am at another location. I have to leave after teardown because I got called into work on Scary Movie 4 doing fire safety at 12:30. I leave at 9 am for the 2 hour drive back to Van and make it with time to grab a quike bite to eat before work. I work a 12 hour day putting people out that are on fire take after take all day three people burn. All goes well and safe. i leave and return to Whistler to get Maja who has work at noon the next day and needs a ride back because I left her up ther with Katie to do the other Cirque Show. It was snowy as any fake movie so I take my time and get there before three. Then Sleep till 9 am. I drive Maja back and Get some sleep I head back to Squamish wich is on the way to Whistler, and I have been through it 4 times in the past 32 hours. Im working on Pathifinder again on Monday and they got me a hotel this time. I settle in and relax. Katie visits on here way back from the cabin. I get to bed as soon as she leaves. 6 am call time I meet the other in the lobby at 5:30 we go to work at the base of the Cheif and battle all day.

I play my self as an indian this time.


I get back to my hotel and sleep after being wrapped at 10pm. Thats a long day The next day is more of the same Fighting vikings but we dont get weapon and the vikings are all laed by people 6'4" and up so its sort of one sided and we just take a beating. I think Im done after work but JJ the stunt coordinator askes me to come back the next day. Of course sure. Once again I have a hotel but I need to go home to take care of some thins real quick and feed the fish. i get back and In bed by one and the next day we do a scene were the indians are falling in traps in the ground all day. There is no movie magic to this. We just get crash mats instead of spickes and we fall in all day then I get my close up. With is great if your a movie star or even an exrtra but as a stunt performer it means its time to realy sell out because any cheating will be seen. I have to fall on spikes. They are fome and I have a fome one coming out of my leg. i jump off a rock and fall a long way flat on my back between two extras on the fome spikes. They will later make CG spike come through my chest. Many many takes of this and The day is done. The Coordinator askes me back again. This is great I say yes. Duh!!. I get changed and check my messages and Wade the stunt coordinator from X men 3 is asking me to work tomorow friday and saturday. This brings up two problems Im booked on pathfinder again and he called at 2 pm and its 10 pm now. I cant get a hold of him and leave a polite message. I tell the coordinator of Pathfinder and he says if I can find a replacement I can go if they call. I dont expenct to hear back but sure enough they call and I get a replacement. X men is shooting nights so I get to get some real sleep. I arrive there are 4pm for a 4:30 call I was told to have a wet suit so I pick one up. There were 65 stunt performers all with wet suits because tonight we were to get hit by a tittle wave from the sky. The movie magic? Three shipping crates stacked the bottom one just there for hieght. The second is the chute with a ramp to propel the water into the air. and the third to is the resivour with a trap door in the bottom to dump the water. Jonny Knocksville from Jackass once stood infront of a smaller one and just vanished as the water came through. We had to run streight at it. We rehersed and blocked it for a while getting ready to go My confidence was ok untill the stunt coordinator had the lead doubles, who were there playing themselves that day, to areas were the water probably wouldnt get them. He did this because its hard to find good doubles and he didnt want them getting injured. It was also officially saying the rest of us were no more then canon fodder. We did the first take and I only got hit by the current on the groung the big wave only hit a few. I was too far back. The second take they worned us that there was 18% more water. Let me tell you 18 percent is alot. They also waited a moment more before pushing the button. The call rolling The call action and we all run screaming al this towwer of crates. A huge rumble comes first then you see it like a wave cashing against the rocks it look like its just spray and I thought for a moment "Im just going to run right throuhg it". The Wave drops from the sky first on Rick who is just infront of me. Rick is 6'2" 240lbs and as he flies by me upside down I get that feeling, you know the feeling you get when you are about to get in a car wreck. The same way you feel just after someone sneakes up behind you and screams. That feeling. Now I tell you I got hit by a wall of water by I sure did. It first felt like I did a belly flow off a diving bourd. Then up down around I dont know but when your hit be a huge wave the only thing for sure is the ground I deffinatly know when that happened. I know with a thud the the current lifted me and I was under water as it disipated I could feel people all around me and the ground moving quickly. It all stopped and the shots not done we have to get up and pretent get it by lightning. I do the cut and I get up and I realize how far I have travaled. It hit me but the grourd tower and that towner is a long way away. We do 3 more take and call it a night. the next night we didnt do much because there was too much fog. The next day I have a fitting at noon for Scary Movie 4 were Im to work the next morning. I got to that then to X Men 3. That night I get to fight wolverine. YEHA!!! HE kills me a bunch of time and I change and move on to something else we wrap. Its an early wrap dew to fog and that works for me because it gives me a chance to catch some sleep before Scary Movie 4. Scary Movie is fun and simple just falling down from rumbling ground. I hardly need pads. I go home and sleep Im back the next night on X men 3 We work and after wrap a Brian, Peng, Mike and I all go to wait for X box 360s. Mike is so excited he is ranting in a thick british accent about features and games the news is there to witness the event as many people hope to get a few machines. Mike explains to the new that games are his hobby and theres nothing like escaping to a universe were any thing is possible after a hum drum day at work. hum drum what this guy is and international stunt performer who dose amazing things for a living like fight Jet Lee in unleashed and he needs to escape. It makes you think what hope do the rest of us have. Hum Drum!!!. Any way we all got our system but didnt get to play because we had to be back at work in a few hours so off to be once again. At work that night we all tell everyone about it but I only hooked mine up and turned it on to make sure it worked I didnt play. After work however I played and the games are in high def which on my 50 inch high def screen look amazing. I never used anything high def on my tv yet so its realy somthing. I only found time to write this inbeteen games so todles for now thats my crazy week and a half two weeks. From Nov 11 4pm to nov 24 3am. I play games and sleep now nothing more must recoop because i may be bace on X men on monday. We will See.

The Head Shaveing

I set my clock for 4 am (that sucks) because Im working on a bug feture call Pathfinder thats filming in Squamish about an hour away. Its about Vikings and Indians and Im going to be doubling a character named Jester. Jester is bold so I get there and they shave my head at 5:30 in the morning. Let me tell you a cup of coffee may get you on your feet in the morn but there is nothing like a good head shavin let me tell you. Then off to costumes were it take over an hour to dress like an indian.



24 diferent little layers and accesories. Then streight to set Im first up. Im working with Ashley who is a good friend but its the first time we have ever had the chance to work together. The scene. The two indians are running from vikings chacing them and set a trap for a hourse. They hide in a hole in the ground covered by a trapdoor made of spikes. As the rider rides over them the lift the door to speir the hourse and send the rider to his death. The movie magic? The Hourse.... three hundred plus pounds of rubber puppet. The spikes fome. 50 feet of track holding the hourse and making him move. The hourse sits in a hydralic catapult and the rider is on a cable to be yanked off at the point of colision. The trap door will be automaticly trigered when the houres reaches the end of the track and everything goes at once. Ash and I are in the hole with all this comin at us. I just have to look like i am opening the trap door. The first take the hourse comes the door opens and before we can do anything we are under the hourse. We only saw dark light dark again. they reset and continue until everything comes together and a great violent moment in cinema is created without harming an animal. It looks so real though, I saw the monitors Im sure they will get some letter when the movie comes out. Just another day at the office..... I LOVE THE OFFICE!!!!! hehehehehehe

The Final day of the stunt show.
Maja and I meet at Night And Day for some breakfast before the show. At which point aomething that had been a miner event the day before had left its mark on Maja.

The Stunt show ends with three people three people crashing through three sets of windows with shuters one after another as if the child stunt performer had beaten them all up. The middle windows however didnt open all the way so when pushed open quickly they bounce back with a vengence. We all got stunge at one point or another. It go me on my head to but left the lump under my hair. Maja took it right in the face. I a normal situation this would be reason for ice and questions like "are you ok?" or "how many fingures?" Us...WE laughed a lump had formed And quickly.


We emused ourselves by asking other people how didnt know about the vicious window to take over for someone and we would watch as the shutters attacked. The unsuspecting person would fall through with and over acted death scream and fall back through with an unrepeatable four letter word or two clutching there heads or hands. Maja was the only one that left a mark. The sunday was hard and with no one to fool with the shutter gag left it became a little tedious. Still fun but just lacking in energy. Everyone was trying to just chill every chance we got.





That last pic is a joke. hehehe

The Show wraped up and we all hung out a bit with the actors and other people involved for the first time ever. And we all just hung out for a bit before cleaning up it was all an amazing experience. Cant wait till next year when we do it all over again.










After getting home and looking in the mirror I realized how tired I really was. I can say a million things to try and discribe it but I took a picture of my self. Notice how hard I am trying to smile and not look tired.

Now to sleep for real. It would take about three or four days before I got all my energy back. Its all worth it!

Halloween


I bought a fat Elvis suit that morning and was set to go. It was a limple fun costume that had a fan to inflate it so it would stay fat and I would stay cool. The girls were not as prepared so they went to Majas to find something for the party. I arived to see not just costumes but new personas all together. They were going to go as prom dates. Katie was Emily the geeky unibrow nerd now one talked to in high school not because she wasnt cool enough but because she just so strange. Maja was The non descript exchange student. The only person Emily cool get to go to the prom with her. Without washing the dirt from the show off they encorperated the idea that hey had become lost on the way to the prom and were just a mess. I sat there and watched all this com together a little bad lipstick then some ripped clothes a bad corsage fake mustach. The best thing was at the party only we would know the segnificance of all the details. Beleave me everything was there for a reason. As the cotumes came together we were haveing so much fun we didnt need a party but after all the effort we may as well go.











This is my third year going to this party. Its at another stunt guys place and its always alot of fun because we all know eachother so well. The turn out this year wasnt very good do to people filming in Montreal, Mexico, Butipest and many people performing that night on X men3 but It was still a hoot as always. I was getting tired quikly by hung in there till it was unanimissly deided to leave.















Now off to bed for one last final day of the stunt show.
