There are two versions of
my acting showreel below. The first
version is 2 minutes 10 seconds. It starts with the one
minute version of the Advanced Medical Institute TVC currently
screening nationally in Australia. Then there are excerpts from a
Greater
Building Society TVC and two short films. My voice was the best quality
I could get at the time but in August the three and a half year problem
with my voice was cured (virtually overnight). At this stage I do not
have any acting examples with my recovered voice but will update
my Showreel when I do. The second version of my acting
showreel
is a cut down 30 second version.
NOTE: I also act in the films Hidden
Conspiracies Revealed and 2069:
A Sex Odyssey - It's Quicker By Phone that appear in my filmmaking showreel further down this page.
FILMMAKING
SHOWREEL
For Newcastle Shootout
on 14 July 2007 I made and starred in a short film called Hidden
Conspiracies Revealed. The story proposes that the Pasha
Bulker was wrecked on Nobbys Beach as a government conspiracy to
promote Newcastle's tourist industry. The dodgy accent is deliberate.
Shootout is a short film competition where the films have to be edited
in camera. That is shots have to be filmed in sequence and if you don't
like the shot you have to rewind the tape and reshoot it before
proceeding.
For my final year project for Certificate
III in Screen through TAFE in 2006 I made a short
film called 2069:
A Sex Odyssey - It's Quicker By Phone. It runs
for 7 minutes 18 seconds. Despite the title it is
not pornographic. It is the story of Billy and his battle to
have his first sexual experience after government bureaucracy takes
over the sex industry. You can view it below.
Below is the short film I entered in the Newcastle
Film Festival for 2006. It was screened as
one of the top 10 finalists and won the Encouragement Award
(A free
entry for a
team of 4 in next year's Newcastle Shootout Film Festival). I
basically did every role in making this film except act. This
short film was an extended version
(1 minute 49 seconds) of a recent TAFE assignment where I was required
to make up a TV
commercial. It is called Rob Ridgeway
Mobile Massage Therapy
and is based on a friend's real business. You can view it
below.
