Story Highlight
The long awaited(?) sequel to last years monster movie 'Terror Neath The Tay'
All things being equal (if we get film equipment for nothing again) we plan to start filming another 45min monster movie, a sequel to last Halloweens horror flick 'Terror Neath The Tay'.
This time we want more listeners involved, we want more extras to get destroyed by the beast, we want more bands involved coming up with songs for the soundtrack, we want more crew members behind the scenes and most of all we want someone to take our lunch orders during the long cold shoot!
There are 9 speaking rolls in total we need to fill, some with only one line some with plenty dialogue.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER BEFORE YOU READ ON IS...
Can you really, honestly commit to filming every weekend throughout July and August? Some of the parts required may only need to shoot over a few weekends where as others (ie: crew) will HAVE to be available EVERY weekend so please bare that in mind before getting involved.
The acting parts we need to fill are...
A Discovery Ship official - only one line in the opening scene.
Colonel Kursk - a tough, older hardened looking character. Think Clint Eastwood.
Captain Pochanski - a no nonsense Army person below Kursk. Think Hudson from Aliens.
Private Petermans - he's leaving the Army in 4 weeks this is his last job, he doesn't care. Think Danny Glover.
Private Candy - a young lady, just joined the Army, is like a fish out of water. Need to be hot to add sex appeal.
Private Weirbowski - got several lines but ultimately ends up being biten in half. Think Quint from Jaws.
Private Myers - only a few lines, a scared character. Think Funboy.
Gorman - a stressed air traffic controller. One scene. Think Gorman from Aliens.
Tommy/Tina(?) - not yet decided on name, features in first scene. Need to be between 11 and 14 years old.
If you want to try out and screen test for any of the roles its entirely up to you what style to deliver the lines in, once we've decided on those to come into the studios for the actual screen test you'll be directed properly.
Crew parts we need to fill are...these people MUST be available every weekend for filming.
Runner/Assistant to Production Assistant - responsible for helping out in all aspects of the film, making sure everything is running smoothly. Website assistance also required. Reports to Production Assistant.
Chef - someone to organise lunch for the cast and crew during filming. Sounds dull but this really is an important roll as we found last year. You'll be hanging out on set to so can help with other aspects.
Sound Recorder - responsible for the sound quality and use of the boom mic. V important.
Below is a scene from the new movie script for 'journey to the centre of the tay', while it doesn't involve all the characters we're looking for at the moment it does give you an idea and involves 4 of the rolls. Choose which character you'd like to try out for, get inside their heads then please record yourself and send it to me here at Tay FM. Stuart@tayfm.co.uk although we will be setting up a phone hotline soon where you can phone up and deliver your lines to be used on air on Wake Up with Webster.
SCENE 2. INT. ARMY H.Q.
We see an ominous, grey looking bunker. We see inside the bunker as a slide changes on a projector in a darkened room. On a wall appears a photo of the Discovery ship in its moorings.
COLONEL KURSK: (O.S) Yesterday at precisely 4:55pm local time an anomaly was reported off Discovery point.
PETERMANS: A Dundonian had a wash?
We hear laughter.
COLONEL KURSK: (O.S) A little decorum please, gentlemen. This report could have grave consequences for us all.The slide changes.
This new one is of the Boss, posing for a photo on the ship, looking pissed off.
COLONEL KURSK: (O.S)This man was reported missing by his nephew. Who he is is unimportant. What took him is. I'd like to remind you that what you will see next is highly classified.
The next slide appears but we don’t see it. The room gasps.
CAPTAIN POCHANSKI: It's a fake.
The lights come up. Colonel Kursk walks in front of the image so we never quite see it.
COLONEL KURSK: Possibly. Seems quite an elaborate ruse for a 12 year old boy to perform don't you think?
WIERSBOWSKI: Probably knocked it up on Mario Paint.
COLONEL KURSK: All the same, we have to consider the possibility that a prehistoric creature is roaming around the Tay. More specifically, a stretch of water that falls under my jurisdiction. Captain Pochanski, I'd like you and your men begin a preliminary search for the creature.
CAPTAIN POCHANSKI: You think it's Al Qaeda?
COLONEL KURSK: Captain Pochanski. Do I have to remind you that Dundee was attacked and very nearly destroyed by a similar leviathan last year? Under your watch you did precisely... nothing. Hence my posting as your superior. Now, if you have a problem with how I run this unit I suggest you request a new posting. Afghanistan perhaps? I'd be happy to fill out the forms. In the mean time perhaps Miss Malone can give us the intelligence report?
