Acting + Filmmaking

[Guytheninja]

So I have a question to the hosts of this show:

How do you make these scenes so realistic? When I was watching the third episode, I really thought that Josh had been shot (for a second anyway). Obviously, he wasn't in the frame, and the only way I thought he had been shot was by Tim's facial expressions (and of course the blood):

Tim looked horrified.
Also, Ryan also looks like he seriously had a desire to kill ---> even though he is shooting people with his hand.

When I was in 9th grade, I had to take a class called Creative Arts. This class was about acting, body movements, facial expressions, etc... Everyone had to take it. To make a long story short, I couldn't act my way out of a paper bag; I am just not a very expressive person. I know from that class that acting is rather hard work that requires talent and experience.

Do you guys have to take classes in acting at Fullsail along with filmmaking? I'm curious because you guys seem to be very good actors --> the shooting scene with the blood seemed very convincing to me.

I used to take some classes when I was younger, but have been doing comedy, live and recorded, for about six years. Tim has done a lot of comedy with me over the years as well, but Josh is brand new to it.

With the guys, I give them some room, but then direct to help them get to where they need to be. It's a lot of fun and they are both very talented.

I thought on twitter you guys said you eat a bag of shrooms, do the dance to the rain God (Jim Louderback) and pass out, only to wake up finding episodes completed?

Thats cool! Are any of these earlier comedy films online? I subscribed to Triune Films but I don't think these earlier vids are there.

Then he's a friggen natural.

Most probably learned from acting his way into all the ladies hearts. :D

(Is josh on the boards, I don't think I've seen him here?)
