The car insurance TV commercial that I played a Leather faced, butcher apron, chain weilding manic is now playing on Thai TV and at the BTS (monorail) stations around BKK.
This is the same TVC that I did my first partial body burn in. Apparently there is a longer version too, but I am yet to see it (in fact I have not personally seen this ad aired to be honest), but then I don't watch TV much so it comes as no surprise.
To be honest I have only seen myself aired (on TV) in 4 of the 12 TV commercials that I have acted in, none of the music videos either....

First the Hanuman The White Monkey Warrior movie poster and now the Hanuman action movie trailer, and also another poster for this local produced movie, and an accompanying music video.
In the trailer I can be seen very, very briefy at the 54 second mark with the group of prize fighters (I am the biggest one of course) but am also wearing a ski mask so my face doesn't show.
In my final take I throw the hero across the room and then yell at him, to add dramatic effect (and to get my face onscreen) I pulled off the ski mask spat on the ground (in contempt) and yelled obscenities at the Hero now laying face down across the room...

Walking along Sukhumvit yesterday I noticed that the Treasured Island DVD is on the streets, apparently it has been for a while but this is the first time I have seen it.
Treasured Island is the English release title for the French movie I'lle Aux Tresors that we filmed in Ao Nung (near Krabi) and Trang in the south of Thailand, as you can tell by the beautiful beach and island scenes...

This video shows the preparation for a high fall stunt done without wires, that is without wires for special effects and without wires for safety - that's right no safety harness.

In stunt work 'wires' are often used either for safety or to give added effect, for example when someone is hit and they go flying backwards.
Often these days it is overly used to the point where the fights look incredibly fake, that comes to the Stunt Co-ordinator and the Director to work together to get things looking realistic for that scene.
Working with 2 such experienced professionals this is a test run...

For those regular readers you will remember a few months ago I sat in the back of a Jeep while it plunged through a wall?
Well I have now found out who and what the TVC was for and who the girl I was talking to onset was - Natassia Malthe - at the time of filming we had no idea who she was....

A couple of guys from the Motion Pictures Stunt Team, previously called the Bangkok Adrenaline Stunt Team, have put together a short showreel of their fighting abilities.
In this video Timman and Anis Cheurfa get into it, with a guest appearance by Newik. In case you don't know Timman and Anis are well known in the world of "tricking", and Timman has built quite a well known name for himself in his martial arts niche.
I can safely say that Bangkok is currently home to some of the best in the world in terms of movie martial artists and tricksters.
Recent developments in the Bangkok Adrenaline saga seem to be pointing very favourably towards us getting some reshoot time to finish the project as an International film, and this will hopefully include a day of Parcour - the free style street running/gymanstics that will bear out my above assertation.

A Partial Body Burn is a Stuntman term for setting fire to a stuntmans body in a controlled and hopefully safe way.
It varies from a full body burn in that the fire is only applied to a part of the body, in this case my arm.
Care must be taken though in non-actors union countries as to start with they were also trying to set fire to the vinyl apron I was wearing. Upon showing them that toxic fumes would be going into my face and hte whole apron would melt into my skin and go up in flames within about 5 - 10 seconds they were unconvinced.
Upon flatly refusing to have the plastic apron set on fire while I wore it, then it was agreed that it would only be an arm burn with acceptable leather gloves and internationally acceptable safety measures, like flame retardand.

Here is the Ian Erix music video that we shot in a Soi Cowboy Go-Go Bar last year in the final edit my part is very small but I was there for quiet a few hours that day.
Truth be told that would have to make me one of the very few foreigners who have ever walked out of a Go-Go bar with more money than he went in with.
