Acting : Close to wrap! by Jameson Martel

congrats

Congratulations!

WooT! Wait... why are you hiding behind a green screen again? LOL!

Cool photo, looks like some rolling stone type album.

The way that lighting hits the face. It's odd but I like it! Love the Stones, Debbie!

Jameson Martel What is it like to act in front of a green screen? How do you prepare yourself? Is it hard to imagine the scene you are in?

Sasha Tomas Depends on the complexity of the scene. If you are interacting with your environment through green screen, I could see that being harder. I haven't had to do that yet but from my understanding there are ways to cheat the interactions.

As for acting, I see it no different honestly, it's all pretend. For this film, we filmed in a separate location for some of the scenes and required a greenscreen but the acting was focused on human to human communication, so the greenscreen didn't really have an effect or distract me from the scene.

Have you seen the Disney green screen studio locations? Bananas I tell you!

Great tips! Creating how to ideas is more important than ever with all the remote work.

Excellent questions and timely.

Congratulations this picture look cool

Hello, looks like you are having a great time. I’m curious to know what you do between projects. Are you involved in acting class. Are you always learning the craft of acting. Thank you for sharing..

Allan Weslowsky When I'm not acting, I work on the business side of things which mostly involves exposure networking. I do AP work on the side but I am an Actor/Artist first.

As for acting classes and the craft of acting. I don't take acting classes, mainly because the business budget can't afford it. Most business expenses are saved for transportation costs and location living expenses while filming. So to improve my craft, I focus on getting actual roles and acting them on film. I can't attest to how good my acting is, I think it's terrible! But others seem to enjoy it enough to put me in their movies. I constantly hear from my co-actors how I need to take classes, and I need headshots, and I need to do this or that. I would love take all their recommendations but it requires money I don't have. To compensate, I do a lot of roleplaying.

My Art is the actual process of becoming a movie actor. So when I began, I started with the basic question "How do I act in a major motion picture?" What logical steps must I take to go from zero knowledge of the industry to acting in a big budget project? How do you make a celebrity? Seems impossible to me!

But how would I pursue that goal? My art is what you're seeing as I pursue it. It's a pretty neat story so far. I've met some interesting people along the way.

Karen "Kay" Ross I think I was just holding it up in case wind came by. I didn't trust the sandbags lol.

Jameson Martel Thank you for that great answer. It makes a lot of sense. I will look for you in the movies:)
