Grab yourself a comforting hot drink and a cushion to hide behind. Here come Georgie and Pierce with some horrible set stories. A collection of gruesome, embarrassing, awkward and hilarious stories of on-set shenanigans, difficulties and disasters! Here is a peek behind the curtain of the industry to ready you for the kind of days you are going to face as a working actor on set.KEY TAKEAWAYSLet’s not sugarcoat it. Sometimes you are going to walk onto a set and it will be diabolical. From unexpected building projects, noisy rivers, leaky roofs, and many other spoilers of sound design, delays and difficulties spring aplenty to challenge your projects. Never succumb to ‘fix it in post’! Always fix it on camera in person if possible. Indie projects can take years to be edited and finally produced and many times do not appear due to a lack of funding, manpower or expertise. Three-pin plug gory story warning!! Cancelled locations! Costume malfunctions! Out-of-control livestock! Handcuffs! BEST MOMENTS‘Naturally, as you’re going through, there are so many mishaps and slip-ups and funny things that happen throughout the time that you are on different sets.’ – Pierce ‘One thing we didn’t realise, and we saw this before we booked it, there was a river running past the property. Turns out, of all things, it ran underneath the house that we were filming in.’ – Pierce ‘Unfortunately, the risk that you take is that a lot of smaller projects you won’t get back for ages, if at all.’ – Georgie‘We were still shooting midday scenes when the sun had basically set and there was hardly any light at all. And they were like ‘oh it’s ok, we’ll fix it in post’. You can’t quite replace the sun in post!’ – Pierce ‘Even if I was to explain this in a really gentle way and go ‘Well, I’m an actor and I was working on a film and I had to be handcuffed to a bed’. You could say it was a horror film; they're still going to think it’s not that sort of film. They’re gonna think it’s a particular type of film.’ - GeorgieVALUABLE RESOURCEShttps://chat.whatsapp.com/LUWz5ZlIg0sH0F27Zs7Cnqhttps://www.actorswarehouse.co.uk/https://Www.instagram.com/Actorswarehouse/https://Twitter.com/Weareacting/ ABOUT THE HOSTSGeorgie King and Pierce Connelly are a couple and business partners with experience in TV, film and theatre.
