This weekend...

Well, as promised Iwill now give you an update of what has happened this weekend.

It all started this friday with a movie shoot. I was an actor for Filmgymnasiet på Gotland in one of their commercials, for the school!

We shot the commercial at Saint Marys Church in Visby, and the set up was a wedding that ended with them showing it was just a film set. Smart idea, I have to say.
And I played the groom. :)

Then, on the saturday, it was time for the big event: WisbyMaskeraden! The biggest event of the year, next to Medeltidsveckan of course, when you get the chance to dress up and just live out your dream as a costume nerd. :)
This years theme was Harry Potter vs. Merlin. And I was there with Gotlands MusikalKompani and we made a 30 minute long show as Hogwarts students. And I also played Severus Snape in the begining of the show. Then I changed to a school student , belonging to Rawenclaw.

And to play Severus Snape, wich I think is the coolest character played by one of the best actors, Alan Rickman, was a privilege. To find the small secrets that unlocks Snape and make him alive, since he is both evil and good.

And I had a costume, special made for me, ordered on eBay, just for this occasion. And it was worth it! It was so worth it! And the show went so well and we had a lot of fun!

Final touch-ups on the make-up before showtime!

 

Now it is time to rest for a few days, then on thursday we start our rehearsals for "Sweeny Todd", the big musical we will put up in April! :)
