Interview with Wednesday 13
1. How did you come up with the idea for Weirdo A Go-Go?
It was talked about for a long time before we actually proceeded with it. It was something that was happening before i realized it was happening. The first shoot in Dec 06 was almost worthless and a waste of time but we did manage to get a bit of footage from it. Unprepared would be an understatement, it wasn't like a video shoot or recording an album. I had to interact with puppets and be funny and it just wasn't working on the first round. The next attempt I brought in my good friend Roman to help me out with the voices and I wrote the script just 3 days before we shot it.
2. This was the first real video project of yours. What's harder making a cd or dvd?
This was such a different animal altogether. It was very difficult. First off, I don't consider myself an actor nor do I think I did a fantastic job by any means on Weirdo A Go-Go. I did what I could at the time and the show turned out the way it turned out. Its gonna be funny to some and not to others. Just like any project I do, I look back on it and say" We could have done this or that and that was a mistake". Weirdo A Go-Go shows a completely different side of me that maybe the public doesn't know or expect.
3. I noticed that you wrote, directed, produced - did some of the voices and star in Weirdo A Go-Go. It seems like you are very hands on when it comes to your projects.
Yes I'm very much into everything I do down to every final detail. It's something that a lot of artists seem to get lost in along their way, and they lose control of what is in their hands due to the business side. I have had that misfortune in the past and I have made a point with this and all of my future endeavors to regain and maintain what is mine and present it the way I want and how I want it presented.
4. This episode is approx 34 minutes, did you record more then one episode -
or will there be others.
Yes time permitting we will come back with a second one. The first episode was thrown together and edited. I want to approach the next episode correctly and have it figured out before the day we shoot it. It was created with an Ed Wood type of mentality and to me it comes off that way. I did enjoy filming it, and it is funny to me, but ultimately the audience will be the judge.
5. Let me say that the extra footage/out-takes are extremely funny! It
seems like you guys had a great time making this.
It was such a blast to hang out and be idiots and laugh all day during the filming of the show. It took so long because I could not stop laughing, the extras on the dvd shows a lot of that. I actually enjoy the Extra footage more than the episode itself. Interacting with the puppets and trying to get into character was hard because they seemed real when I was talking to them. Puppets with teeth are just funny I can't help it.
6. How difficult was it for you to act? Is it like singing on stage or a
different experience entirely?
It's way different and nothing like singing or performing on stage. I'm just glad my friends were around and involved with the show because it made it more comfortable. I hated trying to act, it was hard for me to watch it at first because I know I'm terrible at it, but then I realized the whole point of the show in the first place so I think all works out in the end.
7. So the show is suppose to show the low budget quality and bad acting etc?
Yeah, It's like a bad movie that you love to watch because of that exact fact. The next episode will carry on the same style. I just want to have our homework done before the cameras are rolling next time. A lot more work goes into it than you would think and we will be prepared for that with the right crew on episode 2.
8. What's coming up in 2008 for Wednesday 13?
I will be releasing my new album Skeletons in April and then it's just touring, touring and more touring.
