Since Thursday last week, I have been waking up at 03:30 to arrive on set for 05:00 and then working until around 20:00, plus a further hour travelling back home.
I then eat a quick meal, go to bed and get up at 03:30 to begin again.
I literally have no concept of the world around me at this stage.
How the fuck satchmo copes with hours like these regularly, what with him being a doctor, I have no idea.
Anyway, just a brief shout since I haven't been around. Back on set tomorrow, but I get Sunday off before beginning the following week.
On the plus side, I'm getting paid shitloads more than I originally was going to because I'm in a more important role, hense why I'm needed every day.
I've also been physically 3D mapped which involved standing on a rotating wheel while cameras captured me in various poses in 360 degrees, followed by some sort of laser depth thing which projected a grid onto me to map the depth in my clothes and stuff. Totally crazy and awesome stuff.
Rambling now because I'm about to die from sleep deprivation. Night Night.

Also, I believe I'm speaking for everyone here when I say we'll look for you when we see the film
Coming from a guy who would be terrified by 360 shots of him.
I'm not afraid of photos or bizarre mechanical contraptions. I only don't want detailed information on me to be available. That's very different from being afraid of photos.
Plus how do you know I wasn't just referring to the shitload of money when I said awesome?
I know for a fact that the model will be used to fill in some crowd scenes in locations which didn't have enough extras, and the vfx artist dealing with me made a joke about me being flung from a crashing truck, but I don't know if he was just messing or not.
It's certainly possible.
And yeah, I probably shouldn't be saying any of this when I can sing it.
