So as you know (if you've read our script/storyboard), we have 3 title roles - the Scientist, the Student and the Friend. After some deliberation between us, we decided to cast Dom as the Scientist, Lester as the Student and myself as the Friend, even though we tried out some other people for the roles. This is for three main reasons:
1. When Lester and I were creating the storyboards, we partially modelled the characters on our group members as it gave us a starting point for the characters' personalities, which we then developed.
2. None of the people we auditioned gave us the right vibes for the characters (this is a reflection of our opinions, not our auditionees' ability to act).
3. Dom studies drama, so he has an interest in acting and can act well, and Lester and I both want to write and act comedy sketches, short dramas etc. in the future.
Additionally, we are all available for filming at the right time without having to arrange it around other people's lessons etc. and all three of us are never in the shot at the same time, therefore there will always be at least one person to operate the camera.
Thank you to the people we auditioned and I hope you're not too offended that we didn't pick you. :P
You can expect lots of (hopefully) funny behind the scenes videos of our filming adventure, including a short clip of the read through coming your way soon. :)
