Filming Day One

[tennis_no_ko]

First day of filming finished today. I forgot how exhausting it's supposed to be! It was faster today than it usually is, though, I'm reassured. I've heard that acting is 80% waiting and 20% doing, but today it was rather the opposite. But since we were filming really short scenes from my evil lair where I'm wearing the same thing, I guess they didn't have to do much scene changing.

My character has a snake as his pet and I spent half of my scenes with the snake trying to stop it from cutting off circulation to my arm! I think I might need to wear armour underneath my clothes to stop it from cutting in too much! On the other hand, Minoru got really excited by the reptile, so I could put up with some discomfort. She was laughing and all, when I was struggling between scenes. She's recovering her usual humour pretty fast.

The make-up people are pretty impressive though. They make me look quite different to myself, so I can actually pull off waist-long hair and not look strange. I give them props, that was cool. And my fears about co-actors being obnoxious were reassured. They're amusing to be around.

I'm thinking more and more that our sisters would get along... 'Kari likes bugs and Minoru likes reptiles.

When do I get to see a production still of you with long hair? I bet you're the most handsome villain~

I think Minoru likes them just because they make me a tad uncomfortable, frankly...but I do remember she was excited in an ungodly manner when we saw Komodo dragons at the zoo once...Yeah, they'd get along.

Probably not until they allow me, sadly. The new season is coming out in three months, so probably mid-January as they start advertising for it.
