After the Pizzaman showing I had to get a bus back to London from Cardiff at 4am in order to go straight to work at 9am in Wimbledon. I felt exhausted but happy that I’d done this crazy schedule. I seem to thrive on challenges. I went home after work and slept for 14 hours straight before having to go back to work again and finish the ticketing week. I had a great Sunday with my special lady and wake on the Monday morning with the most bizarre kind of flu. My body tingled all over, I was dizzy, hot and cold, sweaty and my muscles ached. I phoned into work to say I wasn’t going in and spent a difficult day feeling horrible. I reminded myself of an old man when I made my way to the kitchen to get hot honey and lemon or effervescent paracetamol. I put a DVD in and pause it half way through so I can sleep. I wake, I take drugs and then I sleep some more. I feel terrible.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I know I can’t afford to take more than one day off so get into work the next day feeling like I’m going to die. I feel like I’m going to be sick, I’m convinced I have bird flu that H1N1 thing but ignore my need to go to the GP and stick to the plan of earning money through selling tickets. I’m coughing, blowing my nose and joking about having ‘man-flu’. In truth I shouldn’t be there. I completely hate the next few days. I make the flu last longer by working a full week. I know I’ve got to send a few e-mails and contact a few people in order to tie up the loose ends of Pizzaman. I can not be bothered to do anything. I’m not writing any more, I’m not reading, I’m not motivated to do anything connected to working out what to do next or even think about how to make a feature film. I know I’m going to my parent’s house for the weekend with Marlene to celebrate my great auntie’s 100^th birthday but have warned my mother that we may not make it due to my illness. </p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">For some reason I decide to go to a friend’s flat on Thursday evening to participate in his on-line radio comedy show. Whilst there I get a call from my heart to say she is having the same flu symptoms as my self. I make my apologies and get myself home to be a good husband. She is very ill. I call my father to really say we may not make it to Cardiff. We’re both gutted. I maintain my nurses roll and make sure we’re both feeling as best as we can by Friday evening. Luckily my special girl is feeling well enough to think about going to Cardiff, I’m also feeling a lot better so we call my parents to say we’re going to make it and they’re very happy. I’m happy too, we’re going to have a very early Christmas with them on Saturday night and then go to my Grandmother’s house on Sunday for the 100^th birthday party. I still haven’t done anything to further myself up to this point.</p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">We get on the bus and I spend the whole trip playing angry birds on my iPhone. I sometimes get hooked on games and end the plague on my life by deleting said travesty on my iDevice. It actually makes the journey go by very quickly. I’d bought a paper and brought a book to read on the journey. Far from opening my mind I’ve wasted my time but enjoyed it as I did. Is there any difference? </p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">My father greets us from the bus and we get to may parent’s home where we relax and chat over MacDonalds we pick up on the way home. I love the chatting, it’s the first time in over a year where I’ve gone to just visit family. Usually I’ve had something to do for Pizzaman or had a meeting to help myself in some way. Spending a relaxing time with family is a new experience for me. I really like it, I don’t feel in such a panicked rush to get things done. I nip to Blockbuster to get a few movies to watch after we’ve exchanged some presents and get back to talk more with my parents and have our family Christmas. It’s a lovely evening. Everyone is all smiles. As the evening goes on we watch the film The Sorcerer’s Apprentice which proves a very entertaining, vibrant and well made movie. I enjoy it very much. We’d also hired Inception but didn’t manage to watch before we all went to bed.</p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="">&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">I take a break from recalling the past to clean, cook, organise and arrange my abode before I go to Portugal for Christmas. I sit here past midnight watching Lions For Lambs directed by Robert Redford. The script is incredible. Matthew Michael Carnahan. The same man who scripted The Kingdom and other political satires, the man is a masterful writer. I am in awe. Even Tom Cruise gives a good performance in this film. All the elements are there. Also in that break I hired a movie from the library, Solitary Man with Michael Douglas. I’d never heard of the film before but loved it again because of the script that went along with it. That’s how you get people involved, that’s how you get money to follow, that’s how you get your film made. A script that will make your eyes bleed with the want of more and more and more. I want to spend the time to write something that good. It will be a hell of a journey I’m sure.</p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">I can’t help but think about the journey I’ve just been on. A two year venture that didn’t make me money. I say an episode of Jackass where they talk about what they are doing now and at the end Steve’o said that after the first series of Jackass he was famous still had no money and was unemployed. Even the Jackass boys made nothing from the first series. It gives me hope. I think about what I could become if I gave up. I would be the Pizzaman. The guy who made Pizzaman, the guy known for a small art work on a platform that isn’t fully formed yet. I’d be a wet blanket; I’d be a hypocrite. Because I have thought about leaving it, leaving the dream, going on with my life. What direction would that be? What does it make me to continue? Big forks in the road.</p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">After having a day with the family for my great auntie’s 100^th birthday I go home. I loved it, my wife loved it, my parents loved it and then I’m back in work on Monday morning waiting for a day of on Friday. I can not be bothered to try and sell memberships, its my rebellion. It’s also ironic that by rebelling I’m effectively losing money; £1 commission per membership, I got good as well. I realise I absolutely despise the job. On Wednesday I think about becoming a Runner again for a Drama series, start from the bottom. On Thursday, out of the blue, I get a call from someone in Sky asking if I were free to work from January to April on a programme called This Is Jinsy, a new sit-com for Sky TV. Turns out I’ve had my number given to the Production Co-ordinator by Stephanie Burke a Production Manager I worked for almost four years ago for the first time. Again I’m surprised to get a recommendation from her as I’d worked for a friend of hers a few years ago and resigned a week into it because I hated it so much. That was a drama series too. Stephanie happens to be the Production Manager for This Is Jinsy. I call back and arrange to meet them in the morning. Friday happens to be my day off. My mind begins to spend the money before I meet them. I just hope that Steph wont remember my quiting. Funnily enough I also worked for her on ITV’s House Gift and commuted from Cardiff to London to do the job, she only found out very late on into the process. I effectively held the truth back so I could get the job. This was over a year ago now.</p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">I get to the interview early and wait until twenty minutes after the meeting is due for the Production Co-ordinator to meet me. I go upstairs where I see Stephanie again, she’s pregnant. We exchange niceties and I keep my dignity by being honest and straight when if I really wanted the job should have lied about everything, as is the way in London. A fabricated story is more likely to get me a job rather than telling the truth. A small part of me likes Steph so I stay true to myself and of course get a call at the end of the day to say I didn’t get the job. I’m gutted for about four seconds before I let go of it completely. It’s good to feel secure in regard to finance but the job was driving, making coffee and working long hours for bad pay, no respect and no chance of promotion. I broke my own rule of never becoming a Runner again by harbouring these thoughts of actually doing this job. I knew it was a waste of my time and talent but I was about to sell myself cheaply to it again. I wonder why I’d do that. I continue to. For me it would be to make money only when I really need to progress into some sort of career. It’s a strange way this path.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-2562648693542425559?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-88920321148248914222010-12-08T12:05:00.001Z2010-12-08T12:05:56.271Z<div class='posterous_autopost'> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I’ve got to get myself back into writing and practicing writing as much as I can. Motivation to sit down and do so will no longer be such a big problem. Most of the people I seem to talk about in regard to writing don’t necessarily do it and are always after the answers as to what makes it easy. I know there is no quick fix. There is no process or piece of infrastructure for this one, you’ve just got to do it in any way possible. So I resolve to looking back at the night we showed Pizzaman.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>To see Pizzaman on the big screen is a wonderful experience more for the fact of being able to observe reaction from people. I think a lot of people thought I might be disappointed by either the turn out or the reactions I was getting but I managed to put it all into context. This is a bar/gig venue for bands with projected imagery rather than for short films. The type of people there were either people in Pizzaman or who have an invested interest in me or Teilo. People had not paid to see a movie and there were no seats. The age range was early 20s wanting to listen to the music being played. By the time the first episode had played most had lost interest. By the time the fourth episode was playing there was a handful of people left watching. The attention span in a bar is pretty low now, not that it wasn’t before, but when you consider that most people never finish a movie in a cinema without looking at their phone at least once the odds of holding attention in this space are slim to none. </p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>With that said the highest point came during episode 4. Two guys I’d never met before were standing in the middle of the dance floor together transfixed to the screen laughing at Pizzaman. Its what I needed. An outside opinion to see if what I thought was funny and worked actually was funny and did work if you paid attention to the episode. I was lifted by the compliment. Then one of the bands came on and started quoting from Episode 4 as they were setting up, making people laugh more. Although this is not full justification for spending the last two years working on a singular project it instilled confidence in me. It gave me a resolve that I could do this for a living, all I need to do is monetise my skills.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Little tricks to grab attention was to put the volume up far louder than it should be, forcing people to either speak louder to each other or watch. As I suspected the impactual scenes were the attention grabbers; the scene with the girls screaming at each other, some of the darker topics when they were heard and the car chase. All the cleches worked. What didn’t work was the big screen. It was obvious that it wasn’t directed for a big screen audience and, at points, felt very amateurish, things that you may get away with if watching on a computer screen on your own. </p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I enjoyed the night on the whole and I was also filming all of the music acts as they performed, with Teilo’s camera. As the final band was going on it was time to show Pizzaman episodes 13 and 14. Throughout the episodes band members stood in front of the screen and even strummed guitars for tuning and sometimes strummed for no reason. I was livid. I also didn’t want to cause a scene but made the decision not to film them. I refuse to mention the name of the band here as they are all complete a**holes and don’t deserve any kind of publicity. What made my blood boil was the lack of respect for another artist’s work especially as I was the one that got them into the centre pages of the South Wales Echo that day. It really sickened me and destroyed the evening. I knew there was a lack of organisation but this was too much. It really signalled the end of Pizzaman for me and now whenever I am asked about the band in question I am sure to lie about the quality of their work, down right shoddy.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-8892032114824891422?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-88479383130058572582010-12-06T18:51:00.001Z2010-12-06T18:51:31.441Z<div class='posterous_autopost'> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I’m not sure where to go. I’m free. I’m very, very tired. I’m relaxing. Thursday was a success. I get to Cardiff and get a lift to Canton with my father immediately. We wait for 30 minutes for Teilo to get back in touch as I’m meant to pick up the Pizzaman episodes on discs from him. The plan is to then go to pick up my mother from work and drop both my father and mother home so I can go to Penarth to have tea with my cousins. I get a little impatient as Teilo doesn’t get in touch so I decide to do the next part of my journey. As a back up I asked Gareth Sturgess the Pizzaman editor to drop the series onto DVD but I made the mistake of leaving it too long to ask and he wasn’t able to do it although he e-mails me as I’m going to pick up my mother that he is starting to do it at that moment. There are no guarantees that he’ll have it finished in time for me to get to Newport and back. </p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>En route to my mother I also get a text from Teilo to say he’s actually at home on the other side of Cardiff. His phone’s battery had died earlier on. I get to mum and then drop mum and dad home so I can take the car. I go to Teilo’s home to realise he’s now living above a florist. I get the Z1 HDV camera, tripod and the discs from him and head to Penarth. I’m on a bit of a schedule as if I’m five minutes late I’ll be stuck in traffic for best part of an hour. I see it ahead but it’s moving continuously and I feel I’m lucky with the lights.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>At my cousin’s home it’s really great to spend some time with them. I have an hour there before I’ve got to get myself to Cardiff. During my tea of scrambled egg and beans, which I don’t feel is quite enough for me, I’ve also not eaten properly all day and was looking forward to a decent feeding that never comes, Gareth the editor texts to say the DVD will be ready in an hour. This puts me in quite a predicament, I could leave immediately and get to Newport and the evening in time or I could honour my word of staying for an hour with a part of my family I feel I’ve neglected due to Pizzaman for the best part of two year, and with children two years is a long time to have no real contact. Of course I stay. I learn something very important. Pizzaman may not have worked due to parental control. Censorship is regulated by a national body on the internet, that being the mum and dads of this world making sure their children are not adversely influenced by images or videos on the internet. I find this out when my cousin Jenny tells me she’s been reading my facebook messages and I ask if she’s seen the series. Instead of an answer from her there is a subtle but very quick ‘no’ from Jenny’s step father. This says it all to me and I realise that getting into school’s was almost an impossibility for Pizzaman. It was never going to explode very easily at all, our task quashed by something so far out of our control that if I wanted to do any better I needed to invent a kid’s version You Tube.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style="">&nbsp;</span>Thankful for the lesson I say my goodbyes and jump into the car. I call Gareth to see if the DVD will be ready anytime soon. He says it will be so I say I’m on my way and take his post code. I hang up and call James Morris who I’ve been in touch with all day letting him know about bands and artists I’ve found, to tell him I’m nipping to Newport. He tells me he needs a DVD player so I hang up and call my folks to bring their spare one. I’m amazed how disorganised James is and fear that the night will happen only a few times and fizzle. I hope it doesn’t. I then drive as fast as I can to Newport, time is very tight. I’m all go go go. I’m using my iPhone as a sat nav so going a little slower than I want to in order not to crash whilst following it. I finally get there and hear a voice calling me as I walk in the wrong direction. Gareth with the DVD saying one of the episodes doesn’t play properly so has dropped it onto another disc. I tell him I love him and get back into the car. I have 15 minutes to get to Buffalo Bar in Cardiff. I call James to say I’ll be there in 20.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I race the motorway and get there to meet my parents who help with the kit and I go off and park over the road running myself back to the bar from the car. I find James standing on a stool adjusting the projector with no luck. The video image is fuzzy and buttons are pressed to no avail. I run back to the car to get my laptop in case its the DVD player. I get back and James is still on the stool, for a moment there it comes into focus perfectly. I go to the DVD player again and fiddle with the wires they’d plugged into the back, presto it becomes a crisp picture. We tape the wire into a position that will hold it in place to replicate the image on the screen. With that done James asks if I’m all ready to go. I say yes and he asks if I could announced the start downstairs in the bar. I raise my voice and feel like I’m at a church fate as I bellow ‘ladies and gentleman’. People make their way up.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>CT and Hilly from Radio Cardiff jump up onto the stage and I go with them feeling a bit like a gooseberry with nothing to say. I ask that they bring Teilo up there as well. He comes to stand next to me as CT &amp; Hilly introduce the night, I whisper to Teilo that I have no idea why we’re on the stage at that point. Then we’re properly introduced to the crowd of about 50 people and we say our thank-yous to cast and crew and audience. I then run to the DVD player and press play and there it is, our creation on the big screen.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-8847938313005857258?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-80804393024072967012010-12-06T18:48:00.001Z2010-12-06T18:48:02.686Z<div class='posterous_autopost'> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I’m in a café above Victoria coach station… I was in a café above Victoria coach station when I tried to kill some time catching up on the blog but I got a call from an ill Bobby Singh saying he can’t make it tonight. Tonight is the big screen showing of Pizzaman in Buffalo Bar in Cardiff. The original artist pulled out due to illness as well and Bobby was his replacement. I’ve hit the phone, finding people to help out and come close to success. Actually I was in the queue for the Megabus coach while on the phone to Betsan of the group Freshold Crew. I felt impatient as I had to get off the phone to her asap as I needed to go into my phone’s e-mail and show my bus ticket to the driver. In face as I write this on the bus to Cardiff I’m getting calls from people asking questions about the night or apologising for not being able to cover the band slot. It gives me hope that people still like me enough to call me about something to do with Pizzaman considering the e-mails I’ve been getting. I even had one guy threaten to hurt me on facebook.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>This morning I made the unwise decision to look at who had unsubscribed from the Chimp Mailer. It was quite a shock. I’d never thought I’d be so affected by knowing that certain people did not support what I did. I admit that I rinsed every contact I had to spread the word but I never thought I’d be left by some of them. You really do learn who your friends are and who you can trust. During the facebook side of the campaign my number of friends diminished considerably as well. I only noticed by accident when I wanted to see how one of the writers from Pizzaman was getting along. Suddenly I needed to ask permission to be his friend again. I checked someone else and found the same. I realised I am a human being and remain upset with them. My resolve is that you really can’t trust people you meet in London no matter how closely you work with them or consider them friends. Other shocks were from people I considered mentors and people who’ve been supportive. They have every right to stop hearing about it but it does leave a sting.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>In between writing I’ve taken yet more calls, one to say a rap group is able to cover the slot. This is great news. As I ‘m on the call I get a text that I read after I hang up. It says that James Morris has found another band and accepted them. I reluctantly call the rappers back to say it’s a no go and fell a bit shitty about it as it was so good of them to accept at such short notice. Life goes on and I feel like I’m on the path to Mount Doom to destroy the ring, there will always be a part of me wanting to hold on to it. I know I must let go.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>In other news my film review I did with Jim Gault was accepted by WalesOnline and I can have it shown on their site. I will be doing them once a month and they’ll provide the images I can use due to their rights issues. Jim has really done me a favour and I found it incredibly ironic as I’d not wanted to do it in the first place when it came to the crunch. I said I’d see it through but I had no burning desire to make it a success. I even met with Jim again to go over the edits he’d done. I softened a lot of the edits and had him rearrange the order I spoke and it eventually paid off. This is a very good platform as I was looking to keep a hold of the great contact I have with Media Wales and WalesOnline. Maybe one day they will have a pay wall to be jumped over but for now the future is enough.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-8080439302407296701?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-66544860143431916432010-12-02T09:11:00.001Z2010-12-02T09:11:15.025Z<div class='posterous_autopost'> <a href="http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=c15ccb80f1&amp;e=dd1904150d" class="ecxadminText" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10px; line-height: 200%; font-family: Helvetica;"></a><table class="ecxbackgroundTable" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><table style="border: 0px none rgb(0, 0, 0);"><tr><td><table><tr><td class="ecxheaderTop" align="right" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top: 0px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom: 0px none rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left; padding: 0px;"><p /><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="ecxheaderBar" align="left" valign="middle" style="background-color: rgb(66, 159, 216); border-top: 0px none rgb(51, 51, 51); border-bottom: 0px none rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 10px;"><div class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=2ebe2b0ab4&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45/images/10992822954_qVBp2.jpg" border="0" height="178" alt="Pizzaman = Episode 15" style="padding: 0pt;" width="400" /></a></div> </div></td> </tr> </table> <table class="ecxbodyTable"> <tr> <td class="ecxdefaultText" align="left" valign="top" style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 150%; font-family: Helvetica; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 20px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=d02b0afa41&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45/images/15.jpg" border="0" height="264px" alt="" width="274px" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 32px;"><a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=7dd28704b5&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><br /> <strong>The Final<p /> Delivery</strong></a></span></span></span></div> <p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Will Muckle “CUT YOU UP”?<p /> Will the assembly minister get away with it?<p /> Will Taj rescue Becky?<p /> How does it end?<p /> Click the number to finish the series…</strong></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=9e689fffff&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45/images/15days.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="height: 262px;" /></a><br /> &nbsp;</p> <hr /> <p style="text-align: center;"> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong><span style="font-size: 32px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Behind The Scenes</span></span></strong></span></p> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The “Cut You Up” scene wasn’t meant to be filmed. It was just a cover shot for the conversation with Nick and Muckle but Martin Flynn who played Muckle made it far too convincing to stay on the cutting room floor. It became the line that people say when commenting on Pizzaman as a whole. The policemen were Peter Robson, Chris Aberg and Matt Day, James’ brother, friend and wedding suit tailor respectively. “People got roped in from all over the place,” says James smiling.<p /> &nbsp; Teilo told us, “we spent months looking for a cheap car to be Taj’s car but it actually ended up being my own.” They could not clean the car and even made it much dirtier for authenticity. Other things they had to do was to have the main cast not shave for the duration of the shoot. “Continuity was the key. Having the uniform meant we didn’t have to keep track of clothes from one place to the next although there were a few times even this let us down,” says James. We did of course spot the gaffs, if you look closely at Ian’s hat in episode 4 you’ll see that in one shot its on and in another its not. Another clanger we spotted was episode 11 and 12 at the beginning, they ended up being named the same ‘Llandaf’ despite the different name on the website. Funnily enough we noticed that neither of those episodes had Taj set foot in Llandaf at all. I guess the schedule was pretty tight.<p /> &nbsp; So we’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you for getting this far. We hope you have enjoyed the series and promise never to e-mail you again unless you ask us to. The question is, will there be a second series?<p /> <span> <strong>Tell the world!</strong></span></span></span><br /> <hr /> <br /> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 32px;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Credits</span></strong></span></span><p /> &nbsp;

Teilo resigned from a long running job just before the filming and James came from his honeymoon actually leaving his new wife in Portugal.<p /> James told us that he actively stopped looking for work in his field in order to write the series and work on the pre-production as well. He also took a part time job making sandwiches in a café in Ealing to pay for his rent. They told us, “being new and un-established in the creative world is the hardest part of getting funding, so we didn’t even try. It was always the longer-term plan to use this as a platform for the future. To ultimately gain funding and do another one either in Cardiff or beyond.”<p /> Neither of them got much more than four hours sleep a night during the filming weeks and they both took substantial financial losses in terms of lost earnings. James’ parent’s study became the production base and everything was coordinated there as soon as a days filming had ceased. James’ mother also became a production secretary on a number of occasions.<p /> There were a number of moments they loved. “Watching the actors was a pleasure,” says Teilo, “they bounced off each other so well in the confrontational scenes, you could feel the intensity in the room with them during the filming.” James added, “Kevin’s pre-performance is electrifying. He builds a back-story that you’re able to see immediately as he walks in to every scene.” Kevin had built his character around a manager he once worked for.<p /> Other notable moments for the makers were the three girls&nbsp; screaming at each other. In the rehearsal they loved the screaming so much they went on for five minutes unscripted and ended up laughing hysterically afterwards. “The shoots had this energy throughout, everyone enjoyed themselves and put their own kind of magic in there,” said James, “it was a privilege to be surrounded by such talent.”<p /> “The whole idea was to bring the community together and I think it did,” says Teilo, head of the production company Kapaw, responsible for the series. James and Teilo met each other in the International Film School of Wales seven years earlier. They lived together and even made their final film together. In the subsequent years James went to work in television and Teilo set up Kapaw. They are still the best of friends and hope to work together again in the future.<p /> <span> Tell the world!</span></span></span></span><br /> <p /> <p /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="ecxfooterRow" align="left" valign="top" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

The filming continued all the way through until 6pm the following day.<p /> Actors came in at different points during the day so there was a variety of staff always bustling around. Venot, the owner also donned a Pizzaman T-shirt and became one of the extras even getting a line in one of the episodes.<p /> One of the difficulties in filming something about Pizza delivery was the change from day to night. Surprisingly the logistics of this make things more complicated than you would imagine. In Episode 3 where Taj meet Nasty Nad, his Sister’s psychotic ex-boyfriend, played by Sameep Nankani, came from Bristol for an hour first thing in the morning to shoot when it was light. He then went to work in Bristol and came back again in the evening for a further five hours to do the night time filming.<p /> Kingswood Associates, the location used for Taj’s Solicitor’s had allowed time on one day and so it was co-ordinated to film one scene in one direction and then turn the camera away from the window to shoot what we could as night before it actually got dark. Even a night scene where Taj and Becky have a heart to heart was filmed in the daytime with the windows behind blocked out with large pieces of black cardboard.<p /> The entrance to the police station had to be co-ordinated twice for one shoot in the day and one in the night as well. This usually means a lot of driving around picking people up and staying in touch to make sure everyone is happy and aware of the schedule. It is a normal thing to film day as night and vice versa but with such little money they had to be very creative about how certain scenes were filmed and what was possible within a non-paid actor’s schedule. We hope you can't tell which was which.</span></span></span><p /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span> Tell the world!</span></span></span></span><p /> <br /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="ecxfooterRow" align="left" valign="top" colspan="2" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

It happened by accident that James and Teilo were in the same episode. James is the one at the police reception looking mighty tired, an easy emotion for him as he was exhausted by this time in the shoot. Teilo played a very convincing self-obsessed Welsh Media type trying to belittle Taj.<p /> It was felt this scene was of supreme importance to theme. Everyone knew it would highlight cultural integration in Wales. Wales is vibrantly multicultural with Cardiff at the heart of this diversity. James and Teilo have felt a lack of representation of this cultural group in Cardiff when people from different ethnicities make up for 30% of the population. It was a conscious decision to avoid the religious stereotypes in Taj’s characterisation and play him as any other person having a hard time.<p /> The same went for Gethin, Taj’s best friend. Of course there are the ‘in’ jokes surrounding his ethnicity from the older characters but Taj’s patriotism always shines through, none more so than in this scene with Taj and Teilo. Incidentally it was Teilo that scripted this scene.<p /> There were a few times when James thought he might need to become a character other than the one he was planning to play. But igt seemed all of the actors had faith in the project and never let the side down. We take our hats off to them. Printing.Com must get a mention for supplying their offices for the interview scene. It was actually a big conference room that was used although it was shot it tightly enough to give the kind of claustrophobia J &amp; T were looking for. The person interviewing them both happens to be James in a white shirt. It was on this day that we had a work experience girl with us. She’d just won a prize for an animation she’d done and proved herself very well by helping out with kit and lights as our Runner for the day.<p /> It’s probably a good time to mention that a lot of what you see was worked out on the fly; where to shoot the scene in each location, and work with what was available. Both James and Teilo had full time jobs before the shoot so did not have a chance to recce any of the locations let alone a budget to get anyone else to. It was a case of thinking on your feet at every moment. They had of course planned a comprehensive shot list but with all great shot lists it was generally a template for what happened on the day.<p /> One of the funniest places to use was James' old high school’s entrance as the police station foyer complete with ‘buzz-in’ button and sliding glass window.

Lisa Norris who Played Cathy the Caravan Lady had a reason to get into acting. She felt she was quite shy and needed to overcome this trait and turned to acting classes. She told me afterwards that Pizzaman had been a great conduit for her development. It surprised me greatly as she comes across so confidently and self-assured it was a pleasure watching her craft the character.<p /> Originally a non-actor I felt she could be up there with the greats if she put her mind to it. She told me she jumped for joy on hearing she’d got the part. Since Pizzaman I’ve worked with her on almost every short film I’ve directed since.<p /> On to episode 10: the quickie. Poignant, punchy and funny, Taj finally takes the reigns of his life by confronting his demons.<p /> The final scene was the second use of the same location, the only one we duplicated and hope we got away with it. (Can you spot which episode it appears in again?)<p /> The doorstep belongs to Martin Flynn the guy who plays Muckle in Pizzaman. We were there very late in the evening trying to keep the noise down but subsequently failed. I remember it was a logistical nightmare having three actors in such awkward places. Shadows from the lights we had were everywhere and no matter how we did it we felt we were ‘crossing the line’ (breaking the 180 degree rule) every time. People were tired here and pulling the performance up was the ever enduring Sunny, stalwart to the last.</span></span></span><p /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"> Tell the world!</span></span></strong></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=207bb25ff1&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45/images/party.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="height: 226px;" /></a></span></span></span></span></div> <span style="font-size: 32px;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">PIZZA PARTY</span></span></span></span><br /> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thurs 2nd Dec 7pm - Buffalo Bar</span></strong></span></span></span></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Cardiff</span></strong></span></span></span></span></div> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Pizzaman is being shown in full.</strong> Come to the full viewing at Buffalo Bar in Cardiff.

Firstly there was the drilling and constant traffic, then there was the bright day with intermittent cloud cover making brightness or sudden lack of it an issue, and then there was the M4. Production over ran horrifically in the morning outside James' parent’s house in Rumney and they even had to cancel the afternoon shoot in Swansea.<p /> This was by far the scariest day to be a director on the Pizzaman shoot. In the car James was bent over double in the boot while Lisa, who plays the caravan lady, was driving a car she’d never driven before (she had been insured of course). Oh and did I tell you they were on the M4. James was the only crewmember in the car and had to be cameraman, soundman, coordinator and director from his hunched position. "I was terrified but knew I couldn’t show my fears to Lisa or Sunny. They told me afterwards that I seemed to be the air of calm," said James.<p /> They’d organised the junction for them to get off and met up with the three other cars that were following making sure they were ok. They contained other members of the crew and Lisa’s boyfriend at the time. James told us, "I was really feeling the exhaustion but we then had to film Lisa from the passengers seat. If you look closely you’ll keep on seeing roundabouts in the background." They went up and down a small strip of dual carriage way about twenty times starting and stopping due to the roundabouts at either end. Every now and again They had to stop to open the windows so the sweat in the air could evaporate rather than condense on them.<p /> "I remember almost having a mental breakdown immediately afterwards due to lack of sleep and fluids. I took myself to one side after getting out of the car and just sat and breathed a sigh of relief it was over.</span></span>"<p /> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"> Tell the world!</span><br /> <p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><img src="http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m97/grp09/0706/25/1ebaea99.jpg" border="0" height="300px" alt="" width="232px" /></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong><span style="font-size: 48px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 32px;">Pizza Jokes</span></span></span></strong></span><p /> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">George W.

Back in Episode 5 there was a scene where Becky and Gethin were dressed in costumes when they picked Taj up from his drug induced haize. Gethin was a Gorilla and Becky was a Dark Alice in wonderland. This however ended on the cutting room floor as it really stuck out as wrong within the context of the films. That was the surrealist episode and episode 8 was meant as the flashback episode. Luckily it stayed as such and adds an element of depth to a few of the storylines. It also acts as a bridging episode for the Welsh Assembly minister. We see how low down and dirty she can be. Again it wasn’t written as humorous but does have that feeling to it.<p /> Filming Taj running around Mount Stuart Square never seemed to be finished, and although it seems such a small moment it took five visits to the area either first thing in the morning or very late at night. It became a running joke that we had to keep going back each day. You might even notice a cameo from Ruth Giblet playing a look-a-like of herself as Becky. This was the justification for visiting their first set of encounters. The restaurant of their first kiss was the Juboraj restaurant on North Road by Gabalfa flyover. They were good enough to provide some food free of charge and even let us push a table to the window inadvertently blocking the doorway for customers to get in.<p /> Its funny seeing some of the actresses within the series because we know the stereotypical receptionist as Nicole Smith, the complete oposite in character to whom she is playing. Taj then meets the actress Dominique Swain playing his lawyer. She subsequently went to study theatre in the Le Coq School of Theatre in Paris.

It annoys it angers and it exhausts. It’s certainly giving me a run for my money in regard to keeping my head together, keeping my focus and continuing with my determinations. Within the first four days I had an e-mail telling me I was a sad pathetic ****. It stung for a second but made me realise that in order to write that to someone there really must be nothing going on in that individual’s life. I blocked him immediately on Facebook. I’ve had another request to stop sending so many Facebook messages. I asked him if he’s even seen Pizzaman to which he replied, “no” and that he doesn’t have time. It solidified my resolve to see it through. The Chimp Mailer system has an average of 15 un-subscribes a day with at least 1,750 e-mails never opened. I’ve put all my London TV company contacts into the Mailer which may have been career suicide. Again my only resolve is that e-mails and content is so fluid that by Christmas everyone will have forgotten how much it irritated them for two weeks in November. <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">On a personal note I’ve had to dedicate an hour each morning to setting up and sending the e-mails to all those people. Yoga has gone out of the window and so my mood has taken a drop as well. The approach to my job has changed due to its mundane consistency and I’ve stopped writing my blog on the train or in my luck hour because 1. I’m spending too much money on coffee and 2. I’m sick of looking at a computer screen from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. I feel I am no longer a filmmaker but and annoying marketing undergraduate with no specified focus in what he’s doing. The immature advertising major over saturating the clientele with information, putting people off rather than on to the product. Time is precious. Time is money. Its this time I am trying to hijack, this money, this focus. Maybe I need to re-iterate that I’m not making a penny from this. Not a cent, not a dime, not a Krona. The negativity is deep but not over-powering.</p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">Positively: I had a message from guy I did a days film workshop with saying he’d actually bothered to sit down and watch the whole series. He said he was gripped and thought it was very well made. I recall the line from the SunScreen track that Baz Luhman did, it went something like, “Remember the good comments, forget the insults.” How true. I think about the celebrities that put up with the comments everyday and on a very miniature scale relate to their pain. On the other hand, getting any reaction is better than no reaction at all. I like the series, I like the comments, I like the idea and I like that I did most of the work. I built confidence in myself. I can write, I can be a filmmaker, I can be what I want to be. The biggest problem is getting paid to do it. I’m sure bigger people than me have tried and failed.</p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">Positively again, Pizzaman has given me respect. Respect from people I’ve met in the TV industry. All those contacts I first made. I get asked questions about how to write, how to get into the TV drama industry, how to do what I’ve just done and where did I get the financing. It feels like a compliment when people ask about the financing, as there wasn’t any. If it feels like there is, then we did well to mask that fact. I’m asked for drinks or meetings with people like I’m going to be the contact to know in the future and some places have even given me free food when they see what I’m doing. Sadly this doesn’t translate into a better way of living for my wife and future children but it does make my mind feel better about itself. It has given me conviction in my ability to know what is good and what is not good. This is a hugely subjective concept and I go on what I like rather than what I think works to any particular criteria. Instinct and self-belief in that instinct is very important. I’ve found that the best way to gage this is from the off-the-cuff remarks from people. These are spoken without intent or subtext or if they are then you have to gage the person saying them. Are they genuine? Are they after something? Or are they that smart? Again the problem there is, if they aren’t that smart then can you count their vote of confidence as valid? Of course you can.</p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">The real question is, who counts? In the bigger version of this question I think everybody counts and no-one should be left behind but in the film world then who on earth really genuinely counts? The money providers or the public? This is a bit of a chicken and the egg scenario as the money providers would not provide if they did not think there was a public audience. Therefore how do you persuade them there is an audience without any substantial data. All you really get these days is a poster, a review and a comment on a TV review programme. You may get substantial coverage even and this might translate into the people who don’t have much to do and happen along to the cinema but the question remains, what entices audiences and how do you convey this to them before they watch it? Of course the obvious tack is the choice to be part of this machine by a star or celebrity. If you can’t get a celebrity then get twenty of them to show that either you have a lot of money to throw around (and if you do then why not get a star) or they all like you and have given their approval to your forthcoming product in order for an audience to relate to it through them. It is a strange game. Get an American star and you can truly go global if you live up to their acceptance. The British certainly need this. I mean the recognition of something familiar. A personality that gives credence. I opt for the Patric Stewart or Sir Ian MacKellen gravitas. I have to start smaller of course, be more in control than wildly flinging names out to get attention although it is exactly what I’d do for my films, I would then make sure I had the back up. I mean the story the action the grip of something you need to see because of importance. I’m sure I’ll make a lot of crap but I’m also sure I’ll make something so good that it will set me, my wife and my kids up for life allowing me more time to make more films. For me the writing is key to anything near this. Pipe dreams, maybe but it is what drives me to live each day although I certainly wouldn’t worry too much if I didn’t get there. I let go for it to become what it is truly meant to be.</p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">Getting back into writing is certainly a pleasure. I will get back into the yoga shortly I’m sure. Pizzaman will end completely and I’ll be freer than I’ve felt in years. I have loved every moment and new experience that its afforded me and I love the contact I have made. A wise man said to me that the hardest thing to do is to just keep going, keep focused and keep my spirit alive. DO NOT STOP! I guess if they thought I couldn’t do it or if it wasn’t any good or they did not see some spark of attractive creativity within me then they would not have said anything. In fact I may not have ever met them. These are suppositions but ones that make me believe anything is possible. I do believe that if its not what the world wants you to do then you’ll know pretty quickly. </p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">The other day I had such an experience of not wanting to do something I’d set up. I went to the Westfield shopping centre with Jim Gault and his digi8 handicam to film me giving a review of the Harry Potter movie. I did the review but had not prepared or even felt any guilt for not preparing. I had not even written a review that I could refer to. Incidentally the review of The Social Network for the South Wales Echo was not used and I was thanked for my efforts but that they have their own writers sending them things from London. I would’ve thought they might like a born and bred Cardiffian writing for them but it was not to be. I was not that disappointed but knew that to get that gig I would have to pretty much insist reviews upon them once or twice every week from then on to convince them I was serious. It was one of those things that if they said they would like more then I would’ve gladly done it but as I would have to put so much effort into getting the gig I realise I don’t really, really want to do it. It would take focus off my filmmaking. The same went for the filmed review. One thing I’ve realised is I don’t like being the commenting observer, I actually want to be the pioneering doer. I don’t really want to rip other people’s film work apart either unless I’m analysing for a particular reason. WalesOnline are looking for original content but there is no budget for it. I could end up doing stuff for free for my whole life if I let it happen. In that regard, Pizzaman was a freebee, a freebee that cost me money and time. I did the review half-heartedly. Everything about it and around it felt wrong. Not that I didn’t give it passion in what I was saying but that I gave the review on a less than quality camera in a place I had not gained permission for and I cobbled together thoughts about a film from all the other reviews I’ve already heard. I did like watching it back as I think I’m a good speaker but the content was not there at all. Jim is a lovely fellah but so inexperienced that he was asking me what I meant with some of the terms I was using like ‘non-sync-wide’. I was not prepared and did not wish to do it and I told him as much although making sure I was polite about it.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-9204305201032252519?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-54564839454304483042010-11-24T07:27:00.001Z2010-11-24T07:27:28.100Z<div class='posterous_autopost'> <a href="http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=3c18750b45&amp;e=dd1904150d" class="ecxadminText" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

Taj stayed in part of the episode of course but it was time to realise Lyrical Gethin to his full potential. Thaer Al-Shayei the well known Cardiff actor, poet and short film producer gave one hundred percent to the project appearing most days during the filming process. He supplied locations, cars, some food, and unrequited energy when the rest of the cast and crew were feeling low. He gave so much that we had no choice but to give him an Associate Producer credit on top his main role (some people argue he needed a higher billing, and rightly so).<p /> The role was originally written for a white guy but with Thaer, we knew we wanted him and re-wrote the role for his look. He took to it like a duck to water. He had to MC a party scene in The Gate in Roath, he had to try it on with the women, and had to relax and then tighten his morals to become the “bad boy angel” we’ve all scene whilst growing up in Cardiff. They mean no harm but care nothing for stealing from the company they work for. The chase scene was the most fun in this episode. We raced the cars through Roath’s lanes for best part of four hours and then went to Heath Park car park to pull a few skids. Not all the footage made the cut but I think what we used does the episode justice.<p /> Elizabeth Cairns who plays Suzanne in this episode is a Pobl Y Cwm regular and professional actress by trade. The house we used for her scene happened to be in Swansea, owned by Neil Ap Jones the CEO of the World Welsh festival. He also lent us little Evan who brought his own style of genius making it funnier than was actually scripted. So many talents were involved I feel privileged to have been part of it.</span><p /> <strong><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"> Tell the world!</span></strong></span></span><br /> <hr /> <br /> <h1 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Pizza Dough<p /> Recipe</strong></span></h1> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="http://www.pizzarecipe.org.uk/images/pizza_dough_1.jpg" alt="pizza dough" /></div> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">For the pizza dough, throw the following ingredients into a bread maker and set to the pizza dough setting –</span></span><br /> <ul> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">350g strong white plain flour</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">7g easy blend yeast sachet</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">2 tablespoons olive oil</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">225ml (8 fl oz) milk (or water)</span></span></li> </ul> <ul> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">optional – teaspoon of sugar or honey</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">optional – 1/2 teaspoon of salt</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">optional – 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper</span></span></li> </ul> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This takes a couple of hours so you do have to plan ahead with the dough. I have included sugar and salt as optional extras - it's up to you if you want to add them - we all have too much salt and sugar and it is not really necessary in this recipe. Pizza Hut (and they are not alone) have the opposite view - you have to drink a gallon of water after one of their pizzas to quench the salt thirst!<p /> Using this amount of dough, you can make 3 pizza bases – either 12-inch thin crust or 8-inch deep-dish or thereabouts – you might have different size trays and maybe only get 2 pizza bases. Divide the dough into 3 roughly equal amounts and using a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll to roughly the same size as the pizza trays that you are using.<p /> I am making 2 x 8-inch deep-dish pizza bases and 1 x 12-inch thin crust pizza base. This is enough dough to feed a family of 4 – 2 adults and 2 small children. If you have any little helpers knocking about, get them to help roll the pizzas - get them involved from an early age and they grow up thinking it is normal to make pizza with fresh ingredients rather than pulling a piece of cardboard out of the freezer. Plus with fresh pizza, you know exactly what you are eating - you can skip on the salt and the sugar for instance. Don't go overboard though and try using wholemeal flour - that is just rank!<p /> Liberal use of olive oil in the pizza trays – obviously not the trays with the holes in though! Pop the pizza base in the trays and fold the edges if a little too big.</span></span> <table> <tr> <td> &nbsp;</td> <td valign="top"> &nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <br /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="ecxfooterRow" align="left" valign="top" colspan="2" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

Taj stayed in part of the episode of course but it was time to realise Lyrical Gethin to his full potential. Thaer Al-Shayei the well known Cardiff actor, poet and short film producer gave one hundred percent to the project appearing most days during the filming process. He supplied locations, cars, some food, and unrequited energy when the rest of the cast and crew were feeling low. He gave so much that we had no choice but to give him an Associate Producer credit on top his main role (some people argue he needed a higher billing, and rightly so).<p /> The role was originally written for a white guy but with Thaer, we knew we wanted him and re-wrote the role for his look. He took to it like a duck to water. He had to MC a party scene in The Gate in Roath, he had to try it on with the women, and had to relax and then tighten his morals to become the “bad boy angel” we’ve all scene whilst growing up in Cardiff. They mean no harm but care nothing for stealing from the company they work for. The chase scene was the most fun in this episode. We raced the cars through Roath’s lanes for best part of four hours and then went to Heath Park car park to pull a few skids. Not all the footage made the cut but I think what we used does the episode justice.<p /> Elizabeth Cairns who plays Suzanne in this episode is a Pobl Y Cwm regular and professional actress by trade. The house we used for her scene happened to be in Swansea, owned by Neil Ap Jones the CEO of the World Welsh festival. He also lent us little Evan who brought his own style of genius making it funnier than was actually scripted. So many talents were involved I feel privileged to have been part of it.</span><p /> <strong><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"> Tell the world!</span></strong></span></span><br /> <hr /> <br /> <h1 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Pizza Dough<p /> Recipe</strong></span></h1> <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="http://www.pizzarecipe.org.uk/images/pizza_dough_1.jpg" alt="pizza dough" /></div> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">For the pizza dough, throw the following ingredients into a bread maker and set to the pizza dough setting –</span></span><br /> <ul> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">350g strong white plain flour</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">7g easy blend yeast sachet</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">2 tablespoons olive oil</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">225ml (8 fl oz) milk (or water)</span></span></li> </ul> <ul> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">optional – teaspoon of sugar or honey</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">optional – 1/2 teaspoon of salt</span></span></li> <li> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">optional – 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper</span></span></li> </ul> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This takes a couple of hours so you do have to plan ahead with the dough. I have included sugar and salt as optional extras - it's up to you if you want to add them - we all have too much salt and sugar and it is not really necessary in this recipe. Pizza Hut (and they are not alone) have the opposite view - you have to drink a gallon of water after one of their pizzas to quench the salt thirst!<p /> Using this amount of dough, you can make 3 pizza bases – either 12-inch thin crust or 8-inch deep-dish or thereabouts – you might have different size trays and maybe only get 2 pizza bases. Divide the dough into 3 roughly equal amounts and using a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll to roughly the same size as the pizza trays that you are using.<p /> I am making 2 x 8-inch deep-dish pizza bases and 1 x 12-inch thin crust pizza base. This is enough dough to feed a family of 4 – 2 adults and 2 small children. If you have any little helpers knocking about, get them to help roll the pizzas - get them involved from an early age and they grow up thinking it is normal to make pizza with fresh ingredients rather than pulling a piece of cardboard out of the freezer. Plus with fresh pizza, you know exactly what you are eating - you can skip on the salt and the sugar for instance. Don't go overboard though and try using wholemeal flour - that is just rank!<p /> Liberal use of olive oil in the pizza trays – obviously not the trays with the holes in though! Pop the pizza base in the trays and fold the edges if a little too big.</span></span> <table> <tr> <td> &nbsp;</td> <td valign="top"> &nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <br /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="ecxfooterRow" align="left" valign="top" colspan="2" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

Bobby Singh the Seek House-Mate is actually a successful bangra artist, Nicola Colmer, who plays the desperate single mother is a Lee Strasberg Company in Los Angeles, graduate, and Matt Jay who plays Rhodri has his own Theatre company, “ish…” Theatre.<p /> The Bobby Singh scene marked the one-week point in the 16-day shoot and was also the first day they started filming with two cameras. Until then they only had the one and tell us they remember being worried they wouldn’t finish the shoot with only the one camera. The camera was lent by Paul Whittaker, whom James had done some acting for about six years before. The play was at the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff and he played a mental patient, ironically called Rhodri as well. Another coincidence was that it was exactly the same specification of camera that was&nbsp; already being used a Sony Z1 HDV.<p /> As mentioned yesterday the Rhodri scene was written by Darren Lysenko a brilliant writer from London. Matt Jay loved it and took it almost literally in his preparation. On the day of filming he covered his clothes in chilli powder and kept on breathing into a bag of crushed onions. This annoyed some of the crew but amused the rest enormously.<p /> Due to that strange nature of Rhodri meeting Taj, James made sure Sunny (playing Taj) didn’t see Matt before the filming. He actually sent Matt on a run around the block while Sunny prepared himself. The crew did the set up and when everything was in place James gave a wave to Matt in the distance to start coming towards the car. He'd been instructed to get straight in and start the scene. This is what actually happened when they first met.</span><p /> <strong><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"> Tell the world!</span></strong></span></span><p /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="ecxfooterRow" align="left" valign="top" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

Although they were interesting, aside from one, none of them seemed to contain what we wanted and none of them correlated to the next. We went back to the drawing board and re-wrote the story outlines making them more like scene-by-scene outlines for each episode. James then took it upon himself to stop looking for work that would enhance a career in television to write the scripts.<img src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRPKcYGSfo7CUJM1S20uhJ5NB7XO-MFyoE7x0dTnlM5sJpDlPAfMQ" border="0" alt="" style="height: 169px;" /><br /> He became so enthralled in writing, that characters would talk to themselves in his head. James stayed prepared with a pen and paper at all times. Dwelling on a scene would often bear no fruit until he’d slept, thus waking with the urge to hit the computer once more. A few of the scenes were by no means his creation. </span></span><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jsU1yWSbDOA/TLtsyX40EkI/AAAAAAAAA98/TyAWzTa_Z4A/s320/best_painted.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="height: 145px;" /><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> Darren Lysenko (on the right) scripted Rhodri in Episode six and Teilo scripted his own scene as the Welsh Media Type in Episode eleven. Of course we can’t forget Kevin Welch who unwittingly scripted the boss scene of episode two in his own audition. James said he often found the writing going in new directions like in Episode seven when Lyrical Gethin makes a delivery, it really didn’t start out like that.<br /> <img src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcREWUbt09n-XDQHw539r1ra0PTWsoFOGW6M-qr8In2KVBbBPERdlQ" border="0" alt="" style="height: 173px;" />His plan was to try and give every scene a dynamic either in character or content consistently asking why, why, why after every moment yet careful to not edit himself as he went along.

We’ve drawn on our own experiences – if you didn’t it wouldn’t be real.”</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">With Teilo’s story – and backing from his Birchgrove-based production company Kapaw Ltd – freelance director James set about writing the script.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">It took two months to complete and the series was shot over a hectic fortnight in August,” said James.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">“I really wanted to give it a dynamic and every person their own story.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">“Financially we took a risk but we really had to make it happen.”</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">The “gamble” has left James and his new wife Marlene living in his parents’ loft in Rhymney.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">But crippling production costs are the least of his worries, as the team battles to cram 38 hours of footage into 90 minutes.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">“Everyone I’ve shown it to is very excited and looking forward to seeing the whole series,” said Teilo.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">“You don’t necessarily need a huge budget to do it, just a good idea and commitment.”</span></span><p /> &nbsp; <hr /> <p /> </td> <td class="ecxsideColumn" align="left" valign="top" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-left: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); text-align: left; padding: 20px;"> <div class="ecxsideColumnText" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=b44f0476de&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span><span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">Lawrence </span></span></span></span></a><br /> &nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=c465d2cdde&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span><span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">Loves</span></span></span></span></a></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=bcb70dfd90&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span><span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">Pizzaman<p /> <span style="font-size: 11px;">Click Here to See His Reaction</span></span></span></span></span></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span><a target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTmifWl74mFSyyQaQ7D1J8XvVGcQ7e4q9zTJGfTElwL2zQSPbLqYg" border="0" height="253px" alt="" width="199px" /></a></span></span></span></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pizzaman-Series-DVD-/290498312690?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_DVDs_DVDs_GL&amp;hash=item43a30c79f2" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">BUY THE DVD</span></a></span></span></div> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=f8e9cff669&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><br /> </a></span></span> <div> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Watch the whole series at your leisure.

Everything is flowing, we know our main character and the drama intensifies. It’s the first episode where the major logistics of a zero-budget production come into play as well. New characters are introduced, new plots established, its filmed in different countries and there's the first taste of real action.<p /> Incidentally the scene where Taj speaks to his sister was the first scene that was ever filmed on the first day of principle photography. The scene with Hetal (Taj's sister) on a bridge in London talking back to Taj was the final day ever filmed. It was certainly hectic, Teilo drove the actress (Hetal Panchmatia), a soundman and himself to London in the morning to meet James for the filming and then drove back to Cardiff in the evening after they'd wrapped. Teilo tells me they were fed Coffee and got straight into Central London finding a great spot on Millennium Bridge with St Pauls in the background.<p /> Ian’s assailant in the pizza-shop was one of his close friends whom he’d performed with many times. It wasn’t designed that way but became one of a set of positively strange coincidences that happened during the shoot. (This will be touched on again in further newsletters.)<p /> The front door at the end with Ian’s second assailant was James' grandmother's doorway. She was sitting in the front window watching the filming as the action took place. We're almost a little scared to ask her what she thought about it. Take a look and I think you'll know what we mean. Thanks again.<p /> <strong><span> Tell the world!</span></strong></span></span></span><p /> &nbsp; <hr /> <p style="text-align: center;"> <br /> <span style="font-size: 32px;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">PIZZA PARTY</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thurs 2nd Dec 7pm - Buffalo Bar, Cardiff</span></strong></span></span></span></span></p> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Pizzaman is being shown in full.</strong> Come to the full viewing at Buffalo Bar in Cardiff.

</span>So, my time has been hijacked by Pizzaman once more and it isn’t over yet. I’ve literally been spending every spare moment either writing content or arranging the formats of the mailer system for the last crack of the whip at getting people to view the internet series. It feels a little like I’m ramming it down their throat but it’s the only way I know at this point to get a larger audience for Pizzaman. I’d always wanted it to hit computers with a whirlwind. “Three hundred and fifty thousand hits”, I said, “the population of Cardiff as its demographic”, yet I found very quickly, even before the series came out that people are in-capable, unwilling or un-adjusted to being ‘on the ball’ to any amount of scale. In order to get people clicking open on anything is hard. </p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">I feel people’s imaginations are so quick now that its almost come to a set of flashing images with incredible visuals that will even stand a chance of getting any where near the amount of attention something deserves. The amount of time and effort it takes to actually make a film off your own back for it then to be put onto the internet is at this point in time, 2010 I mean, almost an oxymoron. There are no systems where DVD box sets have given way to a permanent pay per view/ownership of a TV series on your internet/TV digi-box. Trust me it’s coming. There will be no DVD within thirty years. There’ll be no CDs, there’ll be no downloading issues on to MP3 players, it will all go internet. You will have your own internet account for entertainment set up for you from birth. It will be the place that your phone, TV, music, business, financial accounts and communications are stored. All the information stored for you. There will be a new high-tech digital age where computer/personal information/personal account hacking takes on a whole new meaning. It will be far more dangerous to be a computer whiz than it will to mug an old lady. Truth is the old ladies will not be going outside by then, they’ll be hooked into their internet account. However much a fiction The Matrix is, there are very similar things going on. I don’t think there will be a birth of A.I. but I do think there will be a birth of super-integrated algorithms that will track everything. With the right set of numbers or sequences of code, you’ll be able to find out and even see everything. </p> <p style="text-indent: 36pt;">Things that scare me as possibilities are people with their own camera attachments on their clothes. The police are already doing a lot of this although we see a lot of it in crap TV shows. What if every man woman and child wore a camera that was constantly streaming into their internet account? What if terrorism or public disorder laws were brought in to over see these and people were given the power to arrest people on the strength of this streaming? What if they were brought in to monitor what people said as well? Yes there is the obvious big brother reference but where will the humanity be? Where will the human conscience take itself over the next 30 or 40 years? What will it be like if there are countries with this technology but other still without? Will they not become safe havens and the super powers of the planet due to the influx of the all-seeing eye? Will there be very harsh laws against such powers ever being granted? Is there someone with a mind to know where it could all go if we get a leader who’s been bullied all his life, hell bent on screwing people over with no regard for anyone but himself? I can’t believe there are so many variables here. I know this has happened many times over and billions of people have died because of these people but how big can this power base get? How many could it affect in the future and will we ever be able to get off the net, off the grid, or hide from these things? Is there anywhere safe from the future?</p> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>It’s funny where I go after a morning of good coffee and sending out e-mails. I love the writing, the conjecture, the flowing of thought from my fingers into the pixels you and I see here. The most positive thing so far has been the twenty-nine more views of Pizzaman’s episode 1, and four more views of episode two. I’ve only just sent out the second mailer and will get the updated stats tomorrow. I worked so hard. Still the formatting is not right for PCs but my iPhone finds it easy to handle. The PC gives enormous line spaces and my online blog goes a little mad. I guess by episode 8 people will be sick of them. By episode 12 they’ll give in and watch it all just so they can feel justified to unsubscribe from the mailer. I’m paying money for it that I don’t have and could actually do without it in my life right now. I’m earning peanuts although its probably more money than I’ve had in a while over the time period of sustained employment. The other jobs were shorter by a considerable margin and I’ve only been selling tickets for 9 weeks now. Anyway, on to the mailer once more my friends.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-7099325613278768020?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-76453248722597395962010-11-20T09:34:00.001Z2010-11-20T09:34:42.523Z<div class='posterous_autopost'> <table class="ecxbackgroundTable" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><table style="border: 0px none rgb(0, 0, 0);"><tr><td><table><tr><td class="ecxheaderTop" align="right" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top: 0px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom: 0px none rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left; padding: 0px;"><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="ecxheaderBar" align="left" valign="middle" style="background-color: rgb(66, 159, 216); border-top: 0px none rgb(51, 51, 51); border-bottom: 0px none rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 10px;"><div class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=ab84786c89&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45/images/Pizzaman.Cast_Crew_113.1.jpg" border="0" height="162" alt="Pizzaman - Episode 3" style="padding: 0pt;" /></a></div> </div></td> </tr> </table> <table class="ecxbodyTable"> <tr> <td class="ecxdefaultText" align="left" valign="top" style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 150%; font-family: Helvetica; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 20px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <a target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong><span style="font-size: 32px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Behind The<br /> Scenes With<br /> WalesOnline</span></span></strong></span></a><a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=748492194e&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><br /> </a><strong></strong><a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=3d592e4411&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">(Making Of Pizzaman Video Click Here)</span></span></span></strong></a></div> <p /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=9507622a94&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"> </span></span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"></span></strong><a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=78f840317b&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS6G2mI1SpuWL1QwmsJ76gqlWs77c1Z_2SEqN38KVwmWPqgeo48" border="0" height="167px" alt="" width="218px" /></a></div> <a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=0efac86647&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/design/transparent.gif" border="0" height="2px" alt="" width="2px" /></a><p /> <span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The house at the beginning and the end of this episode is in Rumney and belongs to James' brother, Peter Robson. He lives with close friend Chris Aberg who were very accommodating during the shoot. They also both took cameo roles in later episodes.<p /> The house that Becky is in, played by Ruth Giblet, is in fact owned by the actress, Jane Harding, who plays Ruth Williams the Welsh Assembly minister in Pizzaman. It's in the Roath area of Cardiff. Jane was instrumental in providing a flexible location for us to use and we ended up filming in her home on no less than ten different occasions. Not because there were ten scenes at that location but to be able to film everything needed around people’s schedules.<p /> The idea for the scene that tops and tails the episode became organic in its inception. Firstly, Teilo and James thought that in order to highlight Taj’s character in the first few episodes, there should be someone to embarrass or belittle him, maybe at a party or in front of others. Taj’s lack of reaction brings attention to his weak nature. With this as a benchmark there was a foundation for Taj’s character development. It was only in the writing stage that James thought it would be nice to make ‘Nasty Nad’ an ex-boyfriend of Taj’s sister.<p /> It provided a reason for Nad to be so nasty and for Taj to be drawn into the situation. The layering of the music on top makes for a pretty dramatic moment taking us into episode four.<p /> <strong><span> Tell the world!</span></strong></span></span><p /> <hr /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 32px;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Pizzaman On<p /> The Big Screen</span></span></span></span><br /> <p style="text-align: center;"> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thurs 2nd Dec 7pm - Buffalo Bar, Cardiff</span></strong></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <img src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBN2Pks1uLmBs0JpCM4Cifz4u93XzGzKe8ETn_IH-f3Ty2coV3VQ" border="0" alt="" style="height: 148px;" /></p> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Pizzaman is being shown in full.</strong> Come to the full viewing at Buffalo Bar in Cardiff.

It took from 9pm until 2am to get everything needed. Even the police took an interest in Pizzaman stopping on the other side of the road to watch filming.<p /> It was empty, it was dark, we didn’t have lighting but everyone pitched in. Funnily enough the drunk guy has appeared in Skins and Shameless and even runs the Pontcanna Flea Market. The bottle of vodka he has was full at the beginning of the shoot too.&nbsp;<p /> The scene itself was drawn from a real life experience. Five years before the filming, whilst working for Dominos as a delivery driver, James Robson (Director) had in fact crashed into a female Welsh Assembly Minister. He was shaken and she’d hurt her neck. Armed with this material Teilo was inspired to create what is now known as Pizzaman. Funnily enough James also had an insurance excess to pay back but the similarities end there. His car was written off and took a few weeks to repair and the assembly minister turned out fine, but did still make a claim.<p /> The scene with the boss that follows the incident was not only one of the few scenes that wasn’t written by James but came from a transcription of the actor’s audition. Actually the whole characterisation of Nick the boss was as a result of Kevin Welch’s talents in the audition room. He'd been asked to improvise the scene where he manipulates Taj. It was spell binding. James and Teilo got him to do it three or four times. James recalls, "I remember watching it back and thinking it was a little harsh of us to expect him to do it so many times but the words were unforgettable."<p /> When it came to scripting the scene he literally played the recording over and over writing down, word for word what Kevin was saying. Those words are what you hear in this episode and they influenced every decision made when writing the rest of the boss scenes. Sadly this is one of those scenes that was considerably cut down to make the episode faster but still one we love to watch over and over again because as we love to hate Nick the Boss. I hope you do too.<p /> <strong><span> Tell the world!</span></strong></span></span><p /> &nbsp; </td> <td class="ecxsideColumn" align="left" valign="top" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-left: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); text-align: left; padding: 20px;"> <div class="ecxsideColumnText" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=f739675515&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRol1HoHierMnoOOSZs-wJrGIcjEOHG0XhLxUExUpobB9D9sYDhYw" border="0" alt="" style="height: 182px;" /></a><p /> <span style="font-size: 48px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> Cardiff<p /> <br /> Locations</span></strong></span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 48px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><a target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><p /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">(Click The Maps To See<br /> Where We filmed)</span></span></a></strong></span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 48px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><a href="http://kapaw.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25836cef38906ab3bce6fbf45&amp;id=67cbff37bf&amp;e=dd1904150d" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: normal;"><br /> </a></strong></span></span><img src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRwuC8dTLf55tR85wbf9uLbZS2jRQOhKZgvg7Us__WPpsjYVwsFqQ" border="0" height="211px" alt="" width="239px" /><p /> <br /> <hr /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 32px;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">PIZZA PARTY</span></span></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thurs 2nd Dec 7pm - Buffalo Bar</span></strong></span></span></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Cardiff</span></strong></span></span></span></span></div> <span class="ecxheaderBarText" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 30px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Pizzaman is being shown in full.</strong> Come to the full viewing at Buffalo Bar in Cardiff.

A pharmacy Student at Cardiff University he had a background in dance and not acting.<p /> He was the only person to turn up to the audition unannounced but within the first few minutes James and Teilo knew he was right. They saw the talent and were sure they could get a performance. It was in the rehearsal week in a church vestry that James Robson, the director, learnt to manipulate his emotions to display what he needed. James found that he had to create situations far worse than were in the script to get Sunny to the correct feeling.<p /> After the incident at the end of episode one James told him he’d hit a child and had to say sorry to the mother. In trying to think about that James and Teilo felt Sunny happened upon the right note for the situation depicted despite it being a completely different situation. There were a number of times this tactic was used and Sunny came to many understandings even developing as an actor so much that the style of direction had to change in accordance to his own learnings. In truth he almost walked off the project.<p /> He wasn’t paid, he wasn’t even fed by us and he said he felt low at times. He was a gentleman throughout. </span><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">We owe him a debt of gratitude. </span><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">So I dedicate this slice to Sunny Patel, a man with talents beyond his realisation.

I do my washing up from the night before and hit the computer. I reply to a few people and respond to Neil’s ideas positively as I really like them and send an e-mail to Jevan the <a href="http://www.pizzaman.eu/">www.pizzaman.eu</a> web designer. There are a few more updates I need him to do and he’s also performing on the full viewing night. It reminds me to buy a bus ticket from London to Cardiff and send an e-mail to the editor depicting what exactly I want on the DVD if Pizzaman. I think things will have to be pretty basic unfortunately as I can’t afford to spend time on making it look great. At this point it has to be what it has to be. A bad philosophy but one that… There is no justification. I need Pizzaman to be over for my own sanity. I’m very proud of what we achieved with no money but I must consider budgeted production with some serious production values from now on.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>After making my lunch to take to work I get myself to another train where I write the blog. The laptop is taking a battering. If anyone would like to sponsor me with a new macbook then please get in touch, I will use it all over the world and sing its praises for you. I write a lot and get to Wimbledon late for work. I have to work for an extra twenty mins at the end of my shift. In my breaks I get to read my book and nip to café Nero in my lunch to type up more blog. With an espresso in my stomach I write for the Olympics slightly unsure if any of it is going to be legible. I also think about creating original content for WalesOnline. I have an idea to interview the people who run the London Welsh centre as I know they love the publicity. It would drive my career, prove my Associate Producer factual TV skills and help me to understand a story’s construction. A life long learning.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Thursday evening comes along and I get home to do some yoga. My body judders afterwards in the shower half way between feeling good and feeling abused but ultimately feeling good. I cook for my girl and send a few e-mails from the lap top while uploading my diary/blog entry. I love writing. I love it more than life itself (I see the irony here, no life, no writing). I love the expression, I love the articulation and I love the freedom. No-one telling me it’s wrong or I should abide by these rules or these stipulations, I am truly a free man. It’s my argument against Factual TV. Too many cooks. No freedom. All you can really do that can be considered in any way artistic is point the camera in a certain way of framing or the cleverer way to display artistry is in how you organise what you do. I think the organising is a real art form and has multiple guises. </p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Friday sees me up early on the yoga mat before hitting the laptop again. I’m looking into taking control of the Chimp Mailer system. Teilo has been in charge of the newsletters through this system and I’ve stayed away. As nothing is being created for the mail out I am taking the reigns and working it out. It’s not as hard as I thought it was going to be but takes a lot longer than I ever thought it would. I try not to get distracted by Facebook messages asking what I think about the Short Film ‘On Road’. I realise the mailer is a bit like creating a web page which is something I really need to spend time learning. I’m fascinated by the nuances. In truth I’ve always been a little scared and never taken the opportunity to over come this techno-phobic tendency. I feel the fear and do it anyway. I learn a lot. I barely manage much before I’m on the train again writing the campaign material on my way to work.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>My business book is coming to an end along with my service sector sanity but I manage to sell five memberships before I’m on my way to a meeting with Jim Gault from the MeetUp group. I have no idea what to expect and create an image of a young man bursting with ideas and enthusiasm. I’m shocked to realise it’s an old guy from Scotland who’s just retired. A pleasant fellow who tells me he’s been trying to make short films for the past five years while teaching English to foreigners in France and other parts of Europe. He talks so quietly that I have trouble hearing a word he’s saying. I find it so difficult that I have to put my ear fairly close to his mouth. It feels a little strange, not that they ever touch (please don’t go there). Our meeting is short and reminds me to make sure my sound levels are good when I film anything. He agrees to film me talking into the camera for a film review at the Westfield Shopping centre.<span style="">&nbsp; </span>I get home to start watching Sister Act with my girl and hit the sack soon afterwards realising the yoga is making me more tired than I first realised.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Saturday comes and I’m up again at 7am. I jump straight on the computer to check out the mailer. I begin building a definitive template. I link URLs and attach images, I paste explanations and pose questions for myself to work out, I think about layout and aesthetics. I jump twenty steps ahead and dream of an online business with an award winning web page I built myself. I call it a day to catch the 10:01am train to Hither Green as I’m meeting Dean, an old friend from Remedy Productions where we transcribed the footage for The Beginner’s Guide to Voodo with Preston from the Ordinary Boys/Big Brother fame. Dean has been working on this years big brother as an editor and has agreed to teach me about Final Cut Pro, a programme I really need to know more about if I am to succeed on my journey.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I get there and am greeted by the smiling Dean. We exchange our pleasantries and get right on to business. He runs me through the editing programme. A lot of it I remember from university and I surprise myself about the things I know, I’m getting back on the bike after a long sabbatical. I enjoy finding out and I think Dean is a good teacher. He’s thorough, attentive and lets me do it myself after he’s finished and I’ve written all my instructions down. I actually really enjoy the day. He even feeds me with info about the keyboard short cuts. We cover digitising, exporting, image capture and of course common or garden editing within the machine. He suggests breaks and compliments me on how much we’ve covered today. I’m actually impressed by his methods. Before he kindly drops me to Lewisham station he shows me some of the stuff he’s been working on. I like it and vow that I’ll work with him again. What a gentleman!</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>On the train back I call my baby and we hook up to see Wall Street 2 in Westfield. I’m quite impressed but really hate two things, the old man’s whistling and the scene where Charlie Sheen appears. I have a lovely evening on the whole and head home and to bed.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I’m up early realising I haven’t done yoga for a day but refrain and hit the computer to put the 15 Days Of Pizza campaign into the Chimp Mailer. I’m getting much faster than not being able to do anything but still it takes an age to get the first newsletter up to a workable speed. A lot has to do with the Mailer incompatibility with my old laptop and the certain ways in which the Mailer needs to be used. It takes me two hours to do one template. Despite the frustrations I continue and manage another just before lunch. My aim is three in a day although I notice the date and know I have to do more if I’m to succeed. I teach myself about finding pictures, linking multiple URLs and photo-layouts. I find people’s music, specific websites and interesting ways to tell my Behind The Scenes stories. I make each vibrant and interesting with the hope that they’ll make people want to click through to the episodes they’re promoting. If anything I need the first five to be really cool because I think it’s easy to not see the rest of the series by being a little disinterested in the first three or four episodes. I watched the whole thing the other day and think its really good but the first few don’t do the rest justice. In fact our fears of not having a strong enough first episode are fully realised. We even made it the last episode to focus on so we’d give it more attention. I think we gave it too much attention and killed it with too much love, it doesn’t grab you immediately.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>So lunch comes and goes and I have no inclination to eat. I stare at the laptop getting more and more frustrated by the Mailer’s lack of speed. A few times it crashes to my horror but I reboot to find it automatically saved. I thank my lucky stars and continue working until the X-factor results at 8pm. I manage six complete newsletters. It took me a day and I feel unusually satisfied. Sitting at a screen all day usually means I feel drained and useless despite the amount I’ve done but this time I feel I’ve done myself justice and begin to realise how much fun it can be to build your own website. I’m certain this is something I’ll be doing in the future.</p> <p><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>The night is brought to a close by watching Life Is Beautiful, La Vita Bella. I stifle a cry at the end of the incredible movie and hit the pillow once more to recoup my energy for the forthcoming week on the phones.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-8412464509541383110?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-72264250329144224812010-09-10T12:11:00.000+01:002010-09-10T12:13:35.592+01:00The first thing to say about being a man with a passion is that it takes a lot out of you. You're not always aware of the tolls you're paying until things begin to come to an end. Pizzaman has certainly been a labour of love but the sacrifices have outweighed the rewards by a considerable margin. I think its high time to write that disclaimer about how much I've learnt and wouldn't have changed it for the world. It's also a good place to mention the way exhaustion can indeed make things seem less good than they really are. So let me tell you about how I mannipulated my life to bring a Cardiff story alive. Whilst starting out I had a good contract with BBC's Homes Under the Hammer programme (I owe the way I talk on the phone, to this job). As with all good things they come to an end, I jumped into action looking for another money focused/career position that was very hard to come by. Pizzaman had the stories in place by this time and it was apparent I had to write it. I got a few weeks of work developing a TV show that wasn't commisned and working on set for a BBC Drama aimed at kids (nothing as glamorous as Dr Who I'm afraid). Make or break of Pizzaman came - 'WRITE IT OR IT DOESN'T HAPPEN!' I actively signed on the dole, occasionally looked for work to keep them happy and made a tick-box document outlining scene-by-scene progress. Painstakingly gruelling it was. Something I'd never done before, what the **** was I thinking? Arrogant self belief prevailed. The little engine saying to itself "I know I can, I'm sure I can, I know I can..." Money grew tight. Procrastination was the enemy although it was never fully beaton out of existance. I owed it to myself, I owed to all the actors I'd auditioned only months before. I'd look like a right divy if I gave up now. Everything I could think of to persuade myself, I used. I took a part-time job making sandwiches in Ealing just down the road from Ealing Studios (thats as far as the name dropping goes). I would find myself with a pen and pad, being late for this job, that was only three mornings a week, because I'd be sat on a bench writing dialogue that came to me at the most inappropriate of times. Oh and did I mention I was in the lead up to getting married. Stress was rife. Something that got me through was Teilo's (Pizzaman's creator) enthusiasm when I completed an episode and sent the rough script to him via e-mail. He was excited, I was excited. I finished it. I finished making the sandwiches and turned to producing the shoot. I had about six weeks before I was due to get married and frantically called everyone. To give you some idea of the amount of calls I was making, I was paying £75 a month for a contract phone that allowed me unlimited landline calls, 3000 mins to mobiles and unlimited texts. I still wracked up a bill for £6o0. This resulted in me refusing to pay, because I couldn't, and defering payment over the next 6 months so I could at least recieve calls. Now if you're meant to be co-ordinating a 16 day shoot of a drama series with over 50 people to manage, having your phone cut off is not what you want to happen! Of course I suddenly become desperate for money. With a month to go till I marry I take the most soul destrying job known to man, telesales. Thank goodness ot was only four weeks. Although I was lucky enough to have my wedding paid for by my parents and my now in-laws, I didn't have anything to pay for a 'real' honeymoon. Pizzaman had taken that away. We stayed at my in-laws holiday home in the Algarve (they are in fact Portuguese, so I think I married well). I had a three week honeymoon using our wedding money to get by, as I didn't have any and was counting on it. I then left my new wife in Portugal to come to Cardiff and film Pizzaman. It wsa heartbreaking to leave her but I marched right on (I owe my girl a lot). I get there to find that only four of the sixteen days I'd planned were confirmed. I was livid but it didn't stop me, I moved straight on. Straight on to the phone. I converted my parents small bedroom/study into Pizzaman production headquarters and proceeded to wrack up a £550 phone bill from their landline. I ate when I had 5 mins to spare and only slept because I absolutely had to. I did not get more that four hours sleep on any of the nights we were shooting. Sixteen days of mayhem ensued. Actors had not learnt their lines, some couldn't and some never got back in touch. I had fears that some wouldn't turn up and I prayed that none of the locations wouldn't fall through. Most of the time the call sheet was finished at 7am because it was the last thing to do of a night. I'd go to bed at 2am and be up at 05:30am to get straight back on the computer. I think there was even a day when I started phoning actors at 5am because I'd forgotton what time it was. There were two nights where I didn't sleep. When filming all the scenes in the Pizzashop we started filming at 2am and didn't finish until 6pm the next day. By 4pm I had to remove myself because I thought I was going to breakdown or something. The crew directed two scenes on their own. Luckily there were no tragedies or major mishaps. I have a collection of anecdotes to draw on from now until the rest of time and, believe it or not, loved every second of it. I was a one man army and loved it. I'd never challenged myself so muchand had so many people help, I am filled with gratitude everytime I think of it. Shoot over and it was time to log the tapes. Life got in the way slightly and I realised I now could not pay rent for the next month. At this point I was still living in London and had been staying with my parents who live in Rumney, Cardiff. My new mife came back from Portugal, we had a chat to the landlord and he agreed to let us leave asap. We moved in with my parents. For something that was traditional in days of old, moving in with your folks with your new wife is not something I recommend however well you all get on. The strains began to show. I confined myself to the bedroom, took half the tapes we'd shot (35x1hour long tapes) and began to watch all of the two and a half thousand takes. I was watching them on the camera itself because we didn't have the correct equipment let alone a computer to drop it onto. I made notes on everything. We then had to hire a night club for one of the final scenes. In the most stressfull act to date, I took my wedding money and paid it to a night club owner in Cardiff. We charged £5 on the door and spent a week on facebook and everywhere else promoting the hell out of it. The gamble was horrible, I hated every second of this one. I'm not a club promoter by any stretch of the imagination. I was stressed and stressed everyone else out. It was a weird night with a weird set of acts I won't go into. That over, we actually made my wedding money back and some which affoded us to buy the much needed internal hard drives for the editor to store the footage on. We sent the tapes to him and waited, and waited, and waited. You have to understand that we didn't pay for this. Here was the kindest of gestures, Gareth the Editor made his livelyhood from editing and was about to spend nigh-on four weeks making this good for us. We waited. I took a job in London whilst living in Cardiff, the commute almost killed me. We waited. My wife decided to find herself a London based job. We waited. In December 2009 I moved back to London. We waited. Teilo decided to practically move in with the editor. I couldn't afford to get there from London so he sat in for a full two weeks to make sure it got done. I was gutted that I had to let my baby go for that long and trust what came out. Suddenly a rough cut emerged. And another, another and another. Finally it was happening. In the mean time I was sourcing music and promoting like crazy but the films were finally there. Wow! I made exhaustive notes and got them back to the Newport based editor as soon as I could. A new version with music would be sent to me. I phoned all of the musical artists for permission. I got straight back into note making. The final edits came just before the launch night. We had five out of the fifteen complete. To tell you the truth I needed this over. It was in June 2010 and I was scrapping through financially due to taking any job I could get to stay afloat while i spent all my free time e-mailing, or arranging more filming to bridge the gaps in the edit, or arranging the launch night. There always seemed to be something to do. Media Wales were great, The South Wales Echo were fantastic and all the other publications that got behind us were mind blowing. Every now and again I'd get a rush of excitement when someone said they'd help promote it. The press release Teilo made circled BBC Wales, The Guardian, S4C. People knew. People like. People supported. Again I'd stay up until 4am some nights just making contact with all the Cardiff based websites. And then there was the launch. It came to the final week when we realised the server we had fell apart with our videos and needed to be changed. We hadn't found a web-designer to make something pretty to go around the videos and I was worried that the rest of the completed films wouldn't be complete if we launched on the 1st of July. In hindsight, by sticking to the 1st July it prompted the work to actually get done rather than linger any more. I found a comedian, a few rappers and a poet to perform at the Cardiff Arts Institute on the night and myself and Teilo hosted the event. We showed a few vids and the first two completed episodes. this was the culmination os two years, yes two years work. I found out exactly, from the raw end, how things/films are made. Why they turn out the way they do what they do to you financially, physically, mentally and spiritually. I got toughened. I got broke. I got arrogant and I got a huge dose of self belief. I love Cardiff and I've loved using it as a medium to tell stories. I just hope that it backs this little gem. I am finding out a lot about internet use as time goes on and althought people I know have seen a few of the episodes they probably haven't seen it all. I don't think it's the story that has let it down, I think its the amount of time to site through something on the internet that has been the learning factor. I've always pitched my sale as the TV/Internet Merge Revolution and a smart man said to me that we were on the crest of a wave that is due to break but that we were ahead of our time. I didn't want to believe him but time is proving him right. Rather than leaving it on a sombre note I wish to answer the opening question. Yes it was made for virtually nothing but it has given me such deternination to continue that I don't think I could ever feel it was pointless. I'd love to get some substantial feedback yes. On a personal note I must continue to learn all I can from this and keep going if I ever wish to grow as a film-maker or a person. The real upside is, I love Cardiff and I've made a really fun Internet Drama Series where Cardifians can see some of their home city when they've got 5 mins procrastination time on the world wide web. I really love that thought and hope I can provide such a gift again in the future.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-7226425032914422481?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-64662254977308736122010-06-25T14:13:00.000+01:002010-06-25T14:14:26.114+01:00“Come to the monumental launch of **PIZZAMAN** Cardiff’s First Internet Drama Series on Tuesday 29th June, 8pm @ The Cardiff Arts Institute, Park Place, Cardiff, CF10 3BA.

They’ll be directing actors who’re trained, paid and trying to further their career. These actors know their craft, they’ve realised if ‘the method’ works for them or maybe Meyerhold or some sort of alienation effect. They’ve gone to LAMDA, RADA, Rose Bruford, The Arts Educational School, or another. They’ve seen themselves on screen, analysed, realised and honed. The usual first time director will be placed into a machine where the actors have established themselves, 30 or so directors have already sat in the chair they’re now in and production might just be able to cope without them. There are no chances taken by a company with a recognised track record. These directors are babied, mollycoddled, protected. Now let me tell you about Pizzaman. Pizzaman combines actors with non-actors; it puts people with years of amateur experience (by amateur I mean unpaid) together with people just having a go. Most weren’t trained, some had already been in ‘Merlin’, ‘Dr Who’ or ‘Casualty’, others rediscovered a passion in themselves after years away from the craft. How was I meant to get consistency? It was on the first day of a weeklong rehearsal in a church vestry with the cast popping in and out that I was subjected to a revelation. The week was more for me than it was for them. I had to learn how to communicate with them individually in order to get the performance out of them. I made notes on each style; I played around with ways of speaking, up-front honesty, intimidation and even getting people to copy me. I sent people out of the room to hear them on the phone. I wanted that spark of believable reality and I had to remember how it was achieved. I focused and observed closely. I believe you need good performances and it’s possible to get them from most people. Relaxation is key. It has to be said I have my own beliefs regarding good and bad acting and it would probably take too long to explain them here so I will focus on one actor, our lead, Sunny Patel. Sunny had a spark in the audition and he looked right; he came from a dance background and was studying a Masters in Pharmacy. He read with naïveté, he “said” words and “acted” as he thought emotions should be played. It was either wildly melodramatic or insanely underestimated and I didn’t believe a word of it. I then discovered a method of presenting Sunny with a horrific situation and getting him to keep the thought of that situation in his mind when doing a particular scene. Somehow it worked - he believed it, I believed him. Given some pain, the mediocre scene (which had nothing to do with the horrific situation I told to Sunny) became exciting, enthralling even. This kind of method worked tremendously for Sunny until he got better. What happened was he intuitively learned how to create the correct feeling in himself in order to hit what I wanted in a scene. At midway through the two-week shoot it was one hell of an unexpected curveball. I had to realise quick that I could just ask for more of something very directly and he’d potentially be able to hit it. Of course there were a few times I had to draw it out of him but I couldn’t use the established method we’d built. I had to adapt, change and relearn what I thought I had. In fact I had to re-align 38 times more in order to get what I wanted. I’m a stickler for a good performance and only time will tell if it worked.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-2578041518391713647?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-67811537775360325622010-02-09T15:32:00.000Z2010-02-09T15:34:18.534ZDo you remember that advert on the BBC, “TV it’s evolving” spoken over the Coldplay Clocks track? Well now it should be “Internet and TV, it’s converging.” Project Canvas, which you may or may not have heard about is, yes I know, another set top box for your TV. Like my own Virgin Media box it has all TV (if I pay for them), pay per view, ITVPlayer, iPlayer, 4OD and even VirginPlayer but Project Canvas is different. It will be the culmination of the Internet, or at least the video part of it including YouTube, Vimeo, Daily Motion to name a fraction of the few, with TV, effectively merging the two. As was said at a Shooting People conference I went to over the weekend “terrestrial TV as we know it will always be there, it will never change, it will just become a dated format with less popularity”, which sounds like radio to me and I love radio. With statistics popping up like more people watching BBC’s iPlayer now than actually watch the BBC TV channels the questions that arise are numerous with a few ringing in many an investor’s ear. To name a few: what will happen to scheduling if you can watch anything at any time? What will happen to advertising if you can use your mouse to move the timer past them (unless watching ITVPlayer)? What will happen to drama series if there’s no-one to pay for them to be made? Of course the final one stings this director’s ear. My thought is that they have to get better. They have to push the talent to the top in order to attract the investors, or is that the other way round? This whole moment in history is very confusing for the TV/Internet current grey area. Inevitably it has to come together and inevitably branded advertising will have to follow its audience if it wants the public to know about its products. A step in this direction has been taken by the company MOFILM. They set up short film competitions from specific product or branding briefs (it’s worth checking it out). What is the next stage? Of course people have beaten us to it in the innovation stakes with the Ford car company paying for Internet drama “Where are the Joneses?” and Bebo sponsored “Kate Modern” (good ideas, but not as developed as “Pizzaman” I might add). Even the BBC got there before anyone with an interactive series called “Wannabes” despite the enormous swaying to the Internet with their flagship “EastEnders”. The truth is nobody knows which way its all going to go but a few things are obvious: people love good drama series, companies want you to buy their product and market advertising is changing at a pace that is mind-bogglingly difficult to keep up with. Did you know that the recent Shane Meadows feature “Somers Town” was even paid for by Eurostar? So if TV and Internet do merge then it leaves this blogging director with a question: will there be a day when a neighbour will talk to us about what they watch and we’ll have never heard of any of it? (This would of course be because there is so much of it out there and we’ve chosen our own specific set of programmes they may not have heard of either.) A scary prospect but this is where “Pizzaman” beats them all. Surely you and your neighbour still want to see your street in a programme? Aren’t you more likely to watch because of your own patriotism to your home area (why else would you live there)? Would this not unite you? Would it not unite a city? Would this not spread like wildfire and wouldn’t you want to be part of it? Who knows, but I think you would.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-6781153777536032562?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-40683172564289884942010-01-31T20:56:00.000Z2010-01-31T21:03:01.478ZExciting and gruelling is all that can describe the casting process. 35 people came after seeing an advert in a community centre or library or many newsagents we advertised in; or from word of mouth spread from previous theatrical contacts of mine (Dominique Festen gets a special mention here); or from various facebook groups set up or gate crashed (Cardiff University/Cardiff Asian Society). The first PIZZAMAN blanket canvas went into effect. Organised to the hilt we had two production assistants (Rob and Pallavi), audition forms, a video camera, 4 audition pieces, an actress (Teifi) to play against those auditioning, and a schedule with a who’s who coming at what time and wearing what just to be completely on top of things. The show of PIZZAMAN professionalism begin right here, right now. Booked in slots of 10mins or 20mins for our main character we over ran a few times meaning bringing two people in at once. Something I really didn’t want. I’m sure Teilo didn’t want it either but we had to get through it. We were focused, we took it in turns to lead or film the auditions. We worried each other slightly; Teilo because of me telling most people they had a part whatever, and each other because we’d have to pass over the leading of the auditions as our minds slowly turned to mush. (Next time I will be sure to train for it but how do you actually do that?) I was looking for that spark, the glint that said “I have something real. PICK ME!” It was the relaxation I was looking for, relaxation in another persons skin, not the acting but the ‘being’. Nerves were shown, emotions were felt and some just kept on giving – Kevin Welch needs to be singled out as we realised we really challenged him after seeing the audition footage (such a standout audition I even transcribed some of it and put it in the final script). Words came alive in many different ways, and despite all of our organisation one person turned up unannounced. Like a sign from a higher being Mr Sunny Patel walked in, that is, only after waiting 30mins for another auditionee to be late. There was something. He looked perfect, he acted with un-moulded electricity. Fate stepped in, dealt us a hand to scream at us, “pizzaman will get made!” Sunny was the only one that was right, our schedule went out the window, he was with us for an hour. It was from then on we knew we had a fighting chance. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-4068317256428988494?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-28037350047036852822010-01-22T06:55:00.000Z2010-01-22T06:56:23.892Z<pre>"Working on locations you're not paying for takes a degree of organisation and an understanding of respect. In Pizzaman this came from the recce, the process of viewing a location beforehand armed with a list of questions and an attitude to not get our hearts set on anywhere. We drew up floorplans of the houses or premisis with notes on where we were and were not allowed to go and of course where the nearest toilet was. Each location was put into a grid of information containing thoughts on what the location could be used for, who we should contact with a list of telephone numbers and email addresses, and an outline of it availability. We made note of the ambient light and a thought of what lights we might need; we made note of the ambiant sounds that may affect our filming; and we made sure the owner felt confident with us as people with a policy that they could contact us at anytime if they so wished. There were a few times when we had to keep our noise down so not to disturb neighbours at night. Communication and foresight was key to the smooth running of a location especially as we did not have a location manager to take this job off our hands. It was yet another hat to put on myself and Teilo on order to guarantee Pizzaman's professionalism."</pre><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-2803735004703685282?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298450839977625320.post-49164971105963153452009-04-27T15:31:00.000+01:002009-04-27T15:39:40.456+01:00From about 6 months ago TeiloTrimble asked if I'd like to make an internet drama series with him. Always interested in a creative challenge I agreed to something I never realised would take over a huge part of my life. Pizzaman was born. A meeting was had with writers, ideas were submitted. Ideas were chosen and very basic episode layouts were drawn out. My role at this stage was script co-ordinator. I phoned, I talked about, I discussed with writers. About 12 gave us first drafts. Some good some not so and a number of problems began to arise. Lack of cohearence was the main. The main character was a different person in each script. A lot of it was wordy and uninteresting. What were we to do? How could we work this out? A producer subsequently left the project to do something else. A few more writers came aboard. All with skills of their own but nothing that worked with all the others. The learning process had begun. The talking and delegation skills were there but the pre-pre-production skills of development created an important learning curve. Something that has continued. The next step in the story is to come soon. Stay tuned - Pizzaman is coming.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4298450839977625320-4916497110596315345?l=pizzamanseries.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Robsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423307579252447663noreply@blogger.com0
