A question I received from a friend…
“Did you do the The Scarlet Queen Channel on your own?”
“Yes. I write the script, rehearse, act and record it from start to finish.”
“I don’t believe it. You must have someone helping you.
“Heh. No. I do get ideas from everywhere but, I am doing it on my own.”
Initially, I found it very tough to act as Risque, she drains the shit out of me. When I write her lines, she morphs it into something so twisted, that when I watch her videos, I can’t believe she did that. She is quite a wild thing, with a wild laughter. I don’t really remember much when I am acting as her.
Now, I find it tougher to act as Cheryl, because she encompasses so much pain, I feel like I am drowning in that oasis she speaks about in her piano song. I composed the song many years back, at one of the lowest points of my life. I used to play the song on the piano to feel better. That is the song Cheryl plays, a song of pain, a song of betrayal, a song of… hope. Acting as Cheryl gives me the most pain, and its getting tougher, as her scenes are going to be trans formative.
As I don’t want to make it sound like I am sprouting magic, I spent two months developing the concept of the video series, hence the product of which, the daily series of The Scarlet Queen is, is my imagination. I have to enforce that it is a solo project, and my sanity is at sake. I don’t know if I can do it past episode 50 at the rate of deterioration I am facing. I want to cut it short and just battle it out and stop the filler episodes of built up and suspense and get down to direct business. However, I am trying to slow it down, but I want it to go faster. See the contradiction?
To enlighten my viewers, I have been practicing aerobatics for the past two days, for a scene for Cheryl. I am currently trying to choreograph an aerobatic dance to symbolise her personality and struggles. I hope to release her Swan Dance for episode 20, or earlier.
At this stage of the production, I am dancing about 4 hours on average for 5 days a week. I feel incredibly fit… my muscles are aching but it feels good. My heart is breaking inside, my soul is being tested, my physical limits are being pushed. I want that all… because I want to be stronger.
I had dedicated my life to the craft of artistry and there is no turning back.
