I plan to make movies of my own someday. I'm already a photographer and I'm actually in the process of writing several scripts for my own movies. I have a stepbrother who's very interested in acting and singing, and he's already taking acting lessons from me. He's already also one of my models. I run Blake's Photography but there's been complications due to financial problems recently.
To fix that problem, though, I plan to take film directing classes as well as photography classes. I just graduated from high school but had my company for about a year or two now.

Jaden, I got to work with some great directors in my time so follow your dream. If you don't try ,,you don't get...
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON…Director John Landis…
Central Casting must have sent 200-300 people down to Piccadilly for a night shoot on this production.
None of us knew anything about the scenes we were going to be involved in so we just hung around coffee bars (Or other bars) chatting and having a night out in The West End.
About 1 o'clock in the morning the production team gathered us all together and told us the scenes they were about to do. (You ain’t gonna believe this).
A WEREWOLF is going to be running out of a cinema in Piccadilly Circus straight across Eros causing cars to crash and have people falling out of bus windows.
(I’m thinking this will do the tourist trade the world of good)
On a cue from the 1st A.D. the real police clear the roads of all late night Joe Public.
The Central Casting crowd are all given places to stand and out of the woodwork comes our buses and cars and stunt people. We’ve got permission to hold up traffic for half an hour and John Landis had multi camera crews covering every angle.
It was over as quickly as it began and as soon as the camera’s stopped rolling the wrecking crews were in there clearing the wrecked cars and sweeping the streets clean again. An hour later it was like we’d never been.
(See the film just to see this sequence)
Well done, John Landis…
Aitch,

I think I've seen this movie. The makeup they had used for the werewolf was quite an interesting one; I had used a photograph of that very werewolf costume set up on one of my old role-play forums, and my members were getting scared each time. I had a custom Scare of the Week picture table going, and it was quite a funny one at that. My favorite horror movie out of any of them would have to be either "It" by Stephen King, or "Wicked Little Things", one of the first 8 HorrorFest films.

Did you work on The American Werewolf in London Aitch? As you will see in the 'Movie' section here our very own admin SS, loves this movie! I think it was a very good movie for the 80's. |

Harry, would you happen to have any advice for me on directing films? I plan to direct horror movies as well as Disney and adventure movies. I don't know if I would be interested in any other genre but I already know that I want to work on the SciFi channel.

I don't know if I would be interested in any other genre but I already know that I want to work on the SciFi channel. In my younger days in the biz I was a artist stand/in which means you would work on the film all the time. I used to watch the directors at work and see the words and actions on the script and see how the directors worked it out. They knew every shot they wanted and would always add a bit if wanted. Now you should write a story then turn it into a shooting script (and time it) Then show it around and see what happens. I know many young kids who started out as a ''Runner'' and worked thier way up the ladder. ''IF YOU DON'T TRY,,YOU DON'T GET'' Aitch, |

I've understood that in order to make it you would have to work hard at it, learn all the talents you could and such, even take classes. When I was fourteen I really wanted to act because my inspiration was Jeremy Sumpter from Peter Pan, but I never really made it. I almost did, once, when an agent named Beverly Brock wanted to talk to me in Raleigh, but the car we had couldn't go that distance from where we were living at the time. I was really disappointed, but I'm trying again, this time helping my stepbrother out.

Hi Aitch,
Did you ever get to work with Dudley Moore? He was one of my favorite actors.
