Latest Filming News.

Last Friday and Saturday Mark was able to get all of Mike Mitchell's scenes done, which was handy as Mike was flying back home to Turkey on Sunday (so no pressure there). Mike and Patrick had to cover 18 pages of dialogue in 2 days and Mark managed to cover all of it - with re-shoots, so good going there mr director.

I was there doing my usual art direction stuff and covering the props etc. I also helped out with sound and lighting as we were in a tiny room, a very hot tiny room once the lights were going. Funnily enough Mike, who has lived in Turkey for over 2 years was a bit chilly... The rest of us weren't.

The room was lent to us by the movie's executive producer, Ken Fraser, so many thanks for the use of the office space Mr F. I'm not sure what was in the room but both Mark and I were sneezing for both filming days and have since died (well, a bit). I suppose we're suffering for our art, sniff!

A few publicity shots were taken at the time and I'll have those up here soon once I make it out of bed.

The Return of Mike Mitchell

The star of previous Stirton Productions feature The Planet, is to return for a role in the latest movie, One Day Removals. Mike (2 times holder of the World Fitness Federation Mr Universe title and all round nice bloke) is to appear in a pivotal supporting role scheduled for filming next week.

Mike's previous part as mercenary captain, Joe Morgan, meant he got to run around in combat gear and shoot huge plastic guns (he also got to kick me around the LZ, ooh er!). This time he'll be wearing a suit and laying down the law on our hapless removal men. We're going to need a bigger suit!

He has recently finished filming some episodes of UK countryside soap, 'Emmerdale' and hopes that he may have the opportunity to expand the role. All of us here at Stirton Towers wish him the best of luck with that and look forward to working with him again next week.

Here's a couple of shots of Mike being all big and stuff. Yay Mike.
