"I got a little bit too excited there" |
Dark, Twisted Genius"The script idea popped into my head about a year ago, but I didn't write it down until about five minutes before we started shooting," says Jason Horton, of Method Snowboard Magazine - the man the world must hold responsible for this, er, extraordinary film. It was an entry in this year's Jib Vid competition in Tignes. And even though it was far and away the most original entry, it was only placed sixth. Clearly, for some people it's just too weird. Not for us, though. And we've promoted it from the editor's blog, to our latest Clip of the Week - just in case anyone was getting bored of cliff jumps and up-to-your-armpit powder. In fact, as Horton explains, the idea very nearly didn't make it onto the screen. "I'd bought a monkey costume on Ebay about a month before in preparation," he says, "which was incredibly organised of me - except the suit never arrived, and I went to Tignes empty-handed. Then, someone mentioned there was a guy who in Tignes who already had a costume! We tracked it down, and it had to be the stinkiest costume of all time - it smelt like a Silverback's groin. We had to keep it in the corridor at night so we could sleep, and Ben (who played the ape) would gag as he put it on. But not nearly as much as he gagged when when we stuck hair from a barber's floor onto his face with hair gel." Horton, by the way, stars as the guy with the white face. Expect to see him again shortly in one of your nightmares...
