I have been doing some stuff for a tv show recently. They needed someone to play a burning swampmonster, so who do you call who is willing to jump into a dirty pond at 4am in the morning with a polyester monster suit on and willing to set it on fire? Right, yours truly. I did three burns that morning,using watergel for the first time and let me tell you, what a revelation! It was provided by the network. The suits were also provided by them and I can tell you, I was not happy with the polyester issue. But I was able to work it out on the spot to make sure nothing really could go wrong and I was in the water anyway. The local fire brigade was on shore just in case as there were some majore fire explosions involved too. I can assure you, walking around on fire at 4am in the morning through a pond in the middle of nowhere with big explosions going of sending these huge mushroom like flames up in the sky is defenitly a pretty cool experience. The down part was the long waits and my 'waterproof' pants and boots being filled with icecold water. Another one for the list.
Here's a shot with part of the suit:
Next sunday i'll be on set for the videoshoot of my brother's new band The Sore Losers. Looking forward being on set again with Toon Aerts. I haven't worked with Toon since the Back from the Grave video a few years ago. h yeah, there was the post nuke photoshoot, but I rather be on set with him. Toon sounded very excited on the phone earlier this week. He said something about wirework, machineguns, squibs and all in all, a whole lotta action!
