1
00:00:04,107 --> 00:00:08,522
The series began as four two hour made for TV movies.

2
00:00:09,154 --> 00:00:13,545
The success of the movies spawned 20 one hour episodes.

3
00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:18,810
Now in its third season LEXX has mutated once again.

4
00:00:44,811 --> 00:00:48,200
The making of the LEXX

5
00:00:48,366 --> 00:00:53,235
For season three what we’re hoping
[to tell] a story in thirteen parts.

6
00:00:54,778 --> 00:00:58,816
With each part of the story…
each long part of the story

7
00:00:59,146 --> 00:01:00,949
so be more or less self-contained.

8
00:01:03,814 --> 00:01:04,999
So exactly where are we?

9
00:01:05,138 --> 00:01:06,999
Between Fire and Water

10
00:01:09,049 --> 00:01:11,647
There’re two planets that have a sort of

11
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:14,646
they’re almost in the same orbit share
an atmosphere at one point.

12
00:01:14,898 --> 00:01:18,611
One is called Fire which is totally dry
and has not water at all and very hot

13
00:01:18,628 --> 00:01:21,171
and the other is Water which is all water.

14
00:01:21,921 --> 00:01:25,114
The Lexx has been drifting
for like over four thousand years

15
00:01:25,491 --> 00:01:28,923
and it drifts into their atmosphere
and they think it’s a comet –

16
00:01:28,925 --> 00:01:31,070
the people down on the planet think it’s a comet –

17
00:01:31,087 --> 00:01:33,854
so they travel using hot-air balloons.

18
00:01:34,496 --> 00:01:35,748
So they go up in this hot-air balloon

19
00:01:35,817 --> 00:01:38,288
and they shoot an arrow at it and basically -

20
00:01:38,665 --> 00:01:40,661
it’s like shooting the white
whale you know - they get it...

21
00:01:40,810 --> 00:01:43,097
and it pulls them along and
then they sort of really get in.

22
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:44,196
And get on board.

23
00:01:53,018 --> 00:01:56,595
The story arc is clear,
the on the characters is clear

24
00:01:56,974 --> 00:01:58,713
and I think the introduction of Prince

25
00:01:58,882 --> 00:02:03,203
like a sort of like a almost
a fourth prominent cast member in a sense.

26
00:02:04,543 --> 00:02:05,634
That worked really-really well.

27
00:02:05,899 --> 00:02:08,063
He’s one of these characters
that has unlimited power.

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,986
He has unlimited power, unlimited abilities.
He can do what he wants to…

29
00:02:12,329 --> 00:02:17,239
He just decides what he wants
to do and does it. Because he can.

30
00:02:18,321 --> 00:02:23,245
You command the Lexx. And I have learned
that the Lexx is a great weapon -

31
00:02:24,621 --> 00:02:27,836
a weapon that will finally tip the scales

32
00:02:32,051 --> 00:02:34,407
I think in some ways Stan represents -
in the broad sense of the word

33
00:02:35,029 --> 00:02:37,145
“the common man”.

34
00:02:38,119 --> 00:02:42,047
Stan wants to survive - he wants
to survive the best he can -

35
00:02:42,924 --> 00:02:47,180
and wants to avoid unpleasant circumstances

36
00:02:47,277 --> 00:02:49,699
and wants to engage in pleasant ones.

37
00:02:55,051 --> 00:02:57,204
The sensual man – that’s Stanly basically.

38
00:02:57,570 --> 00:03:01,138
He’s up to find anything to engage
anything that brings him pleasure.

39
00:03:02,055 --> 00:03:05,101
And to run as fast as he can from anything

40
00:03:05,208 --> 00:03:08,354
that will require complication
responsibility or pain.

41
00:03:08,756 --> 00:03:12,593
You see, an evil planet is gonna
be blown into tiny little chunks,

42
00:03:13,061 --> 00:03:16,772
and then the Lexx, hopefully,
is gonna eat those chunks,

43
00:03:17,279 --> 00:03:20,156
and then we'll be able to sail away from a place

44
00:03:20,493 --> 00:03:23,309
where I really don't wanna be anymore.

45
00:03:24,541 --> 00:03:27,191
So in terms of my own identification with Stanly

46
00:03:27,286 --> 00:03:30,261
I would never wanna be the guy
you know but… - in real life -

47
00:03:30,549 --> 00:03:33,220
but in terms of a character
I think it’s a wonderful role to play.

48
00:03:33,313 --> 00:03:36,784
I mean its… it’s so broad, there’re
so many possibilities in there

49
00:03:37,438 --> 00:03:42,500
as oppose to Michael playing Kai
whose role is essentially eliminated.

50
00:03:45,540 --> 00:03:46,260
Did they hit us?!

51
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:49,726
Not where it matters.

52
00:03:50,081 --> 00:03:53,891
After first day, couple
of  what are we gonna do,

53
00:03:53,968 --> 00:03:56,165
your character is so dolly.
I recalled "no-no-no!

54
00:03:56,699 --> 00:03:58,396
You wrote him dead, he stays dead,

55
00:03:58,554 --> 00:04:04,612
I am gonna do it. He doesn't wanna
be alive or be half-human like…

56
00:04:04,682 --> 00:04:06,892
No I’m dead-dead-dead,
I just want to be dead".

57
00:04:06,983 --> 00:04:10,418
And then as oppose
to that he became more mechanical

58
00:04:10,505 --> 00:04:12,572
and then in the last year the thing was

59
00:04:12,679 --> 00:04:15,136
that he can be superman - sort of -

60
00:04:15,579 --> 00:04:24,378
or he can have a kind of a really
extreme physical stability

61
00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:27,153
or whatever but it’s got to be vulnerable as well.

62
00:04:31,083 --> 00:04:33,852
Kai becomes…. Well I don’t wanna actually say

63
00:04:33,921 --> 00:04:37,573
but we will actually see a whole other… possibly

64
00:04:37,664 --> 00:04:39,756
the whole other side
of Kai character which

65
00:04:39,807 --> 00:04:43,708
actually even has more to it
then meets the eye at first.

66
00:04:43,788 --> 00:04:47,916
Kai? I thought that you had somehow come to life,

67
00:04:49,152 --> 00:04:50,571
but you are still dead, aren't you?

68
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,978
Yes.

69
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,212
So how can there be two of you?

70
00:05:01,703 --> 00:05:04,691
One is dead - the other is alive

71
00:05:06,843 --> 00:05:11,049
That had a nice sporting touch with the Japanese bow

72
00:05:11,937 --> 00:05:14,084
which I managed to learn pretty well how to do.

73
00:05:14,176 --> 00:05:17,528
That was fun, that was
really fun to get that [artily] in.

74
00:05:30,361 --> 00:05:32,930
Xev gets an opportunity to see a different side of Kai

75
00:05:33,010 --> 00:05:36,391
which she finds shall we say attractive and interesting.

76
00:05:41,969 --> 00:05:44,510
She’s got  the appearance of the love slave

77
00:05:44,536 --> 00:05:48,585
and the soul of an independent fearless warrior woman.

78
00:05:49,275 --> 00:05:53,463
She can sort of… she’s very good at serve playing things

79
00:05:53,542 --> 00:05:58,849
to get her way and… plays a double agent
a lot of the times I think.

80
00:05:59,550 --> 00:06:00,072
What?

81
00:06:01,607 --> 00:06:08,434
Why I'm happy to accept your deal
under the right conditions.

82
00:06:12,114 --> 00:06:22,252
You bring out something in me
that doesn't always find proper expression...

83
00:06:37,159 --> 00:06:39,280
There was some particularly satisfying falling

84
00:06:39,282 --> 00:06:41,645
at the very beginning

85
00:06:41,646 --> 00:06:44,286
where Halifax rigger

86
00:06:44,708 --> 00:06:47,870
got a very nice body rig.

87
00:06:47,890 --> 00:06:50,256
You’re posited from two lines in the middle

88
00:06:50,937 --> 00:06:56,493
and so it gives a great deal of freedom in falling

89
00:06:56,833 --> 00:06:59,830
and kind of tumbling and parachuting at stuff.

90
00:07:00,388 --> 00:07:05,254
And that was nice physical stuff very satisfying

91
00:07:05,429 --> 00:07:07,682
to do and to be able to do.

92
00:07:08,535 --> 00:07:12,341
Am I too low? Lift me up...

93
00:07:13,992 --> 00:07:14,999
That good?

94
00:07:17,877 --> 00:07:21,043
Now the guys in audience will
probably identify with this.

95
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,656
Imagine having somebody grabs
you close to a delicate area

96
00:07:27,307 --> 00:07:31,437
and holding on very-very tightly
for like two or three hours.

97
00:07:31,599 --> 00:07:38,182
You know, a lot of vaseline,
a lot of baby powder...

98
00:07:38,672 --> 00:07:40,906
It’s not really that much of a problem you know.

99
00:07:41,052 --> 00:07:42,736
You react to the immediate situation.

100
00:07:43,654 --> 00:07:45,165
Yeah, I spent some time under water

101
00:07:46,190 --> 00:07:49,969
with about thirty five pounds
of weight on my body

102
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:53,806
so, I would sink like a [....].
One of the satisfying things is

103
00:07:53,913 --> 00:07:56,201
what you do then is you work
it out very-very technically

104
00:07:56,202 --> 00:07:58,110
step by step and just execute.

105
00:07:58,822 --> 00:08:02,695
And so you do it and then you
stop doing it and say

106
00:08:03,015 --> 00:08:06,244
“ok, I’ve done that, I did every step
just right, it worked out fine”.

107
00:08:06,462 --> 00:08:10,716
And you kind of go...
“oh, that’s a thrill! That is fun!”

108
00:08:10,897 --> 00:08:13,504
But it’s all delayed all the fun is sort of delayed.

109
00:08:13,724 --> 00:08:16,771
We're going to have to start
with a little bit of pain...

110
00:08:21,023 --> 00:08:21,995
I'm not good with pain!

111
00:08:22,889 --> 00:08:26,495
We tried it with that actually on the nipple...

112
00:08:26,557 --> 00:08:29,549
oh, no no no no no!..

113
00:08:29,949 --> 00:08:33,857
And then what we did was actually
the make up girls made nipples

114
00:08:33,858 --> 00:08:37,561
that were likely larger out
of latex and that was fine.

115
00:08:37,563 --> 00:08:43,826
They glued them on that part
was fine... that was fine...

116
00:08:43,827 --> 00:08:49,686
but when they came off...um...you know..
It was harassing I tell you...

117
00:08:57,852 --> 00:09:00,201
One of the episodes that I directed – Gondola –

118
00:09:00,706 --> 00:09:05,875
is entirely shot in the... in this gondola.

119
00:09:23,142 --> 00:09:28,052
The gondola was great.
That was really the finest piece

120
00:09:28,339 --> 00:09:29,567
that we designed this year.

121
00:09:29,568 --> 00:09:34,621
We went through about thirty or forty changes

122
00:09:34,681 --> 00:09:36,029
and different design ideas,

123
00:09:36,662 --> 00:09:41,350
thousands of drawings and sketches
and we wracked our brains for weeks

124
00:09:41,606 --> 00:09:47,274
finally come up with something that was rude
but at the same time was elegant.

125
00:09:47,872 --> 00:09:49,574
But also would work practically.

126
00:09:56,794 --> 00:10:01,078
The ship is a whole  was a...
I think it was good in the air.

127
00:10:01,176 --> 00:10:05,406
I think that... Think that...
probable very nice to look at.

128
00:10:05,493 --> 00:10:09,641
You know I got mixed with... I’ve got
conflicted relationship with gondola.

129
00:10:09,725 --> 00:10:14,156
I spent a lot of time in there with the hot lights,

130
00:10:15,257 --> 00:10:19,157
the sand blowing...

131
00:10:19,210 --> 00:10:21,424
This was a middle of summer down in Halifax.

132
00:10:21,529 --> 00:10:25,390
You can’t have the air condition turned on because
it makes too much noise when you're shooting.

133
00:10:25,479 --> 00:10:30,023
So it was hot and close. You get to know people
real well in that situation.

134
00:10:39,984 --> 00:10:49,499
Prior to season III, lexx was shot
in studios in both Halifax and Germany.

135
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:54,095
It had always been ironic to me
to move from a studio in Canada

136
00:10:54,096 --> 00:10:57,915
a show which is primarily shot in the...
totally shot in studio

137
00:10:57,916 --> 00:11:01,800
to yet another studio thousands
of miles away across the ocean

138
00:11:01,801 --> 00:11:04,946
and so I thought why not to take advantage

139
00:11:04,947 --> 00:11:07,935
of what Berlin has offered in terms of locations.

140
00:11:07,936 --> 00:11:10,570
Let's find some places and
break the show out of the studio

141
00:11:10,571 --> 00:11:16,184
and try to find some interesting locations
to take some of the episodes on to.

142
00:11:16,185 --> 00:11:24,875
It's a little tough for all
the crew shoot in location

143
00:11:24,876 --> 00:11:29,800
than it is within the certain comfort
of the studio where is a lot of control

144
00:11:29,801 --> 00:11:32,659
because - as you know - there're a lot of green
screen, a lot of special effects down in the show.

145
00:11:32,660 --> 00:11:35,600
Instead of this we tended to rely on the location
to tell the magic of the visuals

146
00:11:35,601 --> 00:11:43,460
rather then creating a lot of camera effects…
you know kind of CGA effects.

147
00:11:43,461 --> 00:11:48,860
We let the location kind of to tell us where
we are and to understand that location.

148
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:51,578
We are in the Rudesdorf near Berlin.

149
00:11:51,579 --> 00:11:53,894
The very decayed location.

150
00:11:53,895 --> 00:11:55,800
We will soon start to shoot.

151
00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:03,600
We shot in a place called Rudesdorf

152
00:12:03,601 --> 00:12:07,597
which was an abandoned cement factory.

153
00:12:07,598 --> 00:12:10,200
And it was abandoned in the late sixties.

154
00:12:10,201 --> 00:12:13,792
And it was pretty hard for
all the cast and all the crew,

155
00:12:13,793 --> 00:12:16,600
we spent two weeks shooting there.

156
00:12:16,601 --> 00:12:22,753
And snow outside, no windows and there
was no way to actually heat the place

157
00:12:22,754 --> 00:12:25,400
that was totally impossible, out of the question…

158
00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:29,233
Scene 9 E take 4

159
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,600
Brian, action!

160
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,100
It was a horrible miserable
place in many ways

161
00:12:45,101 --> 00:12:49,622
it was dark, dusty so there
the problems were…

162
00:12:49,623 --> 00:12:56,700
the crew you know inhaling
the bad air and it was dark.

163
00:12:56,701 --> 00:13:00,855
You know the building was kind
of falling apart but it wasn't.

164
00:13:00,856 --> 00:13:05,799
So you know under those circumstances
things go wrong, things are slow down.

165
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,963
But we were very well propped

166
00:13:07,964 --> 00:13:10,100
so whatever went wrong we could handle.

167
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,651
- Scene 12 take 3.
- Thank you.

168
00:13:18,158 --> 00:13:20,641
Brian and Xenia action.

169
00:13:40,199 --> 00:13:41,700
Come on, this way!

170
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:53,900
Cut!

171
00:14:06,395 --> 00:14:10,600
And quiet, please, stop this joking
around here we gotta concentrate!

172
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,600
Please keep quiet!

173
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,668
Giggerota! you're alive!

174
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,669
Who's Giggerota?

175
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,402
Underneath here… this is not
fake that is a real fire.

176
00:14:39,403 --> 00:14:42,261
So the tub was ending up to be so hot

177
00:14:42,262 --> 00:14:45,500
that the first time I wasn't sure
what temperature it had, the tub

178
00:14:45,501 --> 00:14:49,579
So I asked for warm water but
in the twelve hour I was starting to hallucinate

179
00:14:49,580 --> 00:14:51,300
because that was so hot.

180
00:14:51,301 --> 00:14:57,300
So basically they set this
kind fire and the tub would boil.

181
00:14:57,301 --> 00:14:59,800
And in the meantime that would also
have the dry ice effect

182
00:14:59,801 --> 00:15:02,486
and a smoke effect on top of there.

183
00:15:02,487 --> 00:15:07,707
So we're dealing with an old building

184
00:15:07,708 --> 00:15:10,900
with smells and rats and bats,
fire, smoke, dry ice, water,

185
00:15:10,901 --> 00:15:13,000
costume that weight eight hundred pounds,

186
00:15:13,001 --> 00:15:15,960
and I was still smiling!

187
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:23,563
Drumsticks, drumsticks,
drumsticks, drumsticks!

188
00:15:24,643 --> 00:15:26,700
It was fun and it was challenging

189
00:15:26,701 --> 00:15:31,021
I thing Lexx for an actor
is the most incredible experience

190
00:15:31,022 --> 00:15:35,275
I'm laughing at how much fun I had on this
because I can basically do everything.

191
00:15:35,276 --> 00:15:38,774
I mean, usually you're told 'less is more'...

192
00:15:38,775 --> 00:15:40,600
more is not enough on this show!

193
00:15:45,116 --> 00:15:47,500
Council time, your majesty!

194
00:15:48,414 --> 00:15:52,716
Oh, boring, boring, boring, boring!

195
00:15:57,825 --> 00:16:01,225
Here we are, chilly Thursday morning
in Fort Hahneberg

196
00:16:01,226 --> 00:16:05,100
preparing for a run-for-head shot with Stanly Tweedle
running from the psychopathic homicidal maniacs.

197
00:16:06,513 --> 00:16:09,864
We're like in the shadows.

198
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:23,100
Underneath this fortress there are these tunnels
a maze of tunnels that are quite beautifully build

199
00:16:23,101 --> 00:16:29,599
this is round beautiful brickwork
in kind of a little labyrinth of tunnels.

200
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,717
So we spent… yes, two weeks
shooting in these tunnels.

201
00:16:32,718 --> 00:16:37,200
So we achieved some interesting
visual elements with these tunnels.

202
00:16:37,201 --> 00:16:41,700
It was really fun to backlight, you know…

203
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:45,700
Play the sound in these tunnels…
play the maze of running through.

204
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:49,130
It was wonderful cos there…
it was an amazing building.

205
00:16:49,131 --> 00:16:52,800
There were these long, long tunnels
which would go up.... and then down

206
00:16:52,801 --> 00:16:56,069
into nothing, into nowhere,
just into darkness

207
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:02,000
And a couple of shots… we've done long shots
of us walking just walking, walking,

208
00:17:02,001 --> 00:17:05,400
walking toward the camera.
which looked amazing.

209
00:17:05,401 --> 00:17:07,143
But it was just freezing.

210
00:17:07,143 --> 00:17:10,131
I remember one time I meant to be on Fire
which is very hot

211
00:17:10,131 --> 00:17:13,178
and I'm talking
down into a hole to Stanly.

212
00:17:13,178 --> 00:17:16,000
And all I can see is my breath
coming out all the time.

213
00:17:16,001 --> 00:17:18,600
And they say: "Can you see it on the camera?"
- "Yeah, we can…"

214
00:17:19,516 --> 00:17:23,600
Well, you can stay down there
if you want to, Stanley, but I have to tell you

215
00:17:23,601 --> 00:17:26,100
that They never come up here.

216
00:17:26,162 --> 00:17:29,007
So we had a big heater down in the hole

217
00:17:29,008 --> 00:17:33,435
and a fen blowing it up
so that I didn't have a cold breath

218
00:17:33,436 --> 00:17:34,700
Crazy.

219
00:17:34,822 --> 00:17:39,600
We'll be at hell soon and we'll be
in heaven on Monday mourning.

220
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,192
- I feel exactly the same way.
- You do?

221
00:17:48,193 --> 00:17:53,667
Yeah. Lily, I wanna water your garden.

222
00:17:53,668 --> 00:17:55,960
Will you let me do that?

223
00:17:56,290 --> 00:17:58,917
I wanna water your garden…

224
00:17:59,550 --> 00:18:02,100
We shot in the botanical gardens
in central Berlin

225
00:18:02,101 --> 00:18:09,070
which is an old Jules Verne's architecture
of glass and steal structure

226
00:18:09,071 --> 00:18:15,800
Inside - house with these beautiful
lush tropical plants and flowers.

227
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:26,500
We were really relieved when we moved
into the botanical gardens.

228
00:18:26,501 --> 00:18:33,700
It was: oh, god… it's all the way up to ten degrees
Celsius here so this is great…

229
00:18:33,701 --> 00:18:37,800
And it was a lovely location. But
unfortunately we were thereonly for a week.

230
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,900
I'm enjoying this so much I'm starting to think
I must be a little bit autistic...

231
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,600
Now.. I gotta say either I'm autistic
or my character is autistic whatever...

232
00:18:57,601 --> 00:18:59,850
but being buried in the earth
for my character was...

233
00:18:59,851 --> 00:19:02,400
I think that's close to a nice erotic sensation

234
00:19:02,401 --> 00:19:05,601
that Kai has ever... kind of...experienced...

235
00:19:05,602 --> 00:19:08,800
And except for the misadventures
of that episode

236
00:19:08,801 --> 00:19:10,746
I think he happily would've stay there,

237
00:19:10,747 --> 00:19:15,100
seriously and very very very determinately

238
00:19:15,101 --> 00:19:18,000
trying to decompose there, under the earth.

239
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:24,600
Why are you buried in the dirt?

240
00:19:24,601 --> 00:19:30,200
It is the natural way of all dead things.

241
00:19:38,763 --> 00:19:44,694
It was like guerilla filming you know…
it really was… not the animals, the people.

242
00:19:44,695 --> 00:19:50,076
Because it was a tiny unit that we had  and we'd go out
and set up camp, wherever we happened to be.

243
00:19:50,077 --> 00:19:55,340
It's an amazing countryside, it's so
completely different from anything

244
00:19:55,341 --> 00:19:57,848
that you'll see here in North America,
just completely different.

245
00:19:58,183 --> 00:19:59,743
He won't get out for weeks!

246
00:20:09,147 --> 00:20:11,336
It was excellent ideal situation.

247
00:20:11,336 --> 00:20:16,140
The countryside was beautiful, the crew was wonderful,
the food was great. I mean, everything!

248
00:20:16,141 --> 00:20:19,485
There wasn't a single thing that I can say:
that was wrong

249
00:20:19,486 --> 00:20:22,500
or in any way off-putting about shooting in Africa.

250
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,313
You know, these silly little pink and
blue and green umbrellas

251
00:20:26,314 --> 00:20:30,827
to walk around and  keeping a shade…
Very strange…

252
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:33,790
Brian: "I say, Rudolph?"
Nigel: "Yes, darling?"

253
00:20:33,791 --> 00:20:36,490
Brian: "Are you enjoying the vacation so far?"
Nigel: "Awfully, awfully good

254
00:20:36,491 --> 00:20:41,291
I must admit it's awfully nice to be able
to get away to these latitudes.

255
00:20:41,292 --> 00:20:43,235
Brian: "Oh these latitudes, yes indeed, yes indeed...

256
00:20:43,236 --> 00:20:47,570
I find  that the salt breeze does the skin
a remarkable amount of good."

257
00:20:47,571 --> 00:20:50,434
Nigel: "Oh yes, very!"
Brian: "My complexion has cleared up remarkably."

258
00:20:50,435 --> 00:20:52,248
Nigel: "Remarkably!"

259
00:20:54,657 --> 00:20:58,135
We were on the beach in Namibia
and it was windy as hell

260
00:20:58,136 --> 00:20:59,500
it was really-really windy.

261
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,200
I have to turn around...

262
00:21:09,470 --> 00:21:12,725
I will see you later, Stanley Tweedle!

263
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:16,478
They set up a green screen behind me.

264
00:21:16,479 --> 00:21:20,712
At this photograph that we have you can see
the cameras here and the green screen is there

265
00:21:20,713 --> 00:21:24,805
it's bellowed out like that and there
four guys with ropes holding it down.

266
00:21:24,806 --> 00:21:28,454
And I'm standing there like this
in front of it blowing in the wind!

267
00:21:28,455 --> 00:21:30,495
And it's just like WOW!

268
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,000
I was standing on the beach and I said to Paul:

269
00:21:44,001 --> 00:21:48,401
"So lets wait for the waves to die down a bit, ok?"

270
00:21:48,402 --> 00:21:51,205
He said: "No, those are the small waves".
You know…

271
00:21:51,206 --> 00:21:53,000
and I said "Oh, God…"

272
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,721
This is the calm water...

273
00:21:55,722 --> 00:21:58,233
Oh boy, that's the calm water.

274
00:21:58,234 --> 00:22:02,900
…it's get windy and waves get big…

275
00:22:02,901 --> 00:22:05,600
These aren't big waves?

276
00:22:05,601 --> 00:22:07,200
No, these are tiny.

277
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:11,500
And the water was about eight degrees
Celsius. That's a cold shower!

278
00:22:11,501 --> 00:22:18,400
I had a wet suit underneath my costume.
But getting into the waves… I don't swim!

279
00:22:18,401 --> 00:22:23,900
At one point I…one of the waves picked me up
and washed me right into the camera.

280
00:22:23,901 --> 00:22:28,391
Right into the tripod. I ended up with my head
between the legs of the tripod.

281
00:22:28,392 --> 00:22:30,387
That was pretty strange...

282
00:22:30,388 --> 00:22:36,739
The payoff is when you finally see those images,
those locations on tape…

283
00:22:36,740 --> 00:22:40,154
when you see the finished product
and you can say:

284
00:22:40,155 --> 00:22:43,200
"well, guess it was worth it that after all."

285
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,600
It's amazing to me because… these three actors -

286
00:22:46,601 --> 00:22:51,229
Michael and Xenia and Brian - are very talented,

287
00:22:51,230 --> 00:22:56,500
really know their stuff…
put up with a lot of… abuse!

288
00:22:56,501 --> 00:23:00,126
Because it's a tough thing making the show,
it's very physically demanding.

289
00:23:00,127 --> 00:23:05,500
There's a lot of stuff where they're acting
in front of green screens, and there are long hours...

290
00:23:05,501 --> 00:23:10,200
and they are the most good-humoured,
patient and talented people.

291
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,531
Jesus Christ… I almost..

292
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:25,220
I was just wondering…

293
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:32,500
what * was I wondering?
What was the * line?

294
00:23:34,684 --> 00:23:38,222
