0:01:08 > 0:01:12coming up, we've got an exclusive with Diary Of A Wimpy Kid writer
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Jeff Kinney.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15'There's something in the pool'
0:01:15 > 0:01:18and everybody on set just completely freaked out.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22There's behind-the-scenes secrets of the set of Bugsy Malone.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25They hold a handful of cream and just throw it in your face.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And find out why Michael Sheen, super actor,
0:01:28 > 0:01:29is dressed as a chicken.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Think of what you are trying to accomplish.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- What do you think of the show so far, Ben?- That's a good question.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Yes, I know it's a good question. That's why I asked you.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41- Very cool.- Yeah, it is.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44OK, now here's a question for you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Are you ready for a DIY Blockbusting surprise?
0:01:49 > 0:01:50And here's part one.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Action.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55We're giving six film-makers the chance to make a short film
0:01:55 > 0:01:58armed with just a camera, script and some home-made props.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Little do they know they're in for a big surprise...
0:02:03 > 0:02:04You didn't know I was coming?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07..when we give them something spectacular
0:02:07 > 0:02:12to turn their home movie into a DIY Blockbuster.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Once upon a time, there was a princess...
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Ellie, Eloushka, Millie, Riley, Lucy and Caradog
0:02:21 > 0:02:23are making a fantasy fairytale film.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Red Riding Hood, Red Riding Hood, you are so brave.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29It's about a king who wants a wife.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I'll give you potions, gold, valuables, anything.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36And a wizard says that he needs three objects.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39And it's up to the king to get all the objects to make the spell.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42The team are planning to film in this modern flat,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44but it's causing them problems.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The flat didn't really look like a wizard's lair.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49We could take out all the modern things
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and all the bright things and change them with dark things.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55It's going to take more than a couple of bright ideas
0:02:55 > 0:02:56to transform this place.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58How are we going to move an oven?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And I thought, a wizard's lair is not that modern.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Not to worry, what the team don't know
0:03:04 > 0:03:07is that they are in for a DIY Blockbuster surprise.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12We've arranged to have a mystery set built especially for their movie.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15The team are still struggling with the look
0:03:15 > 0:03:17of their not-so-wizard-y lair.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Keep the chairs, but if we had black sheets or something, put them over.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25We can do better than black sheets, Lucy. Time for some movie magic.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30We are in a filming studio!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34CREAKING
0:03:34 > 0:03:35- Whoa!- Wow!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Look at the floor. - There's smoke on the floor.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41All you could hear was, "Wow, wow, wow, wow," from everyone.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Wow indeed. We've built them an epic set
0:03:45 > 0:03:48jammed full of props and we filled it with special effect smoke
0:03:48 > 0:03:51to create that authentic wizard lair look.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Oh, look. This is great.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say. It was awesome.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- I see a vision. - It just looked really cool.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01This is comfy.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05One of the crazy things is because the smoke was up to your knees
0:04:05 > 0:04:07you would step and think,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10"Is it safe to step here, am I stepping on something?"
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And I would just...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14What are these?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16The team need to start filming, but with
0:04:16 > 0:04:20so many props around, the distractions are endless.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Teapots. Look at teapots compared to ours.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Sometimes they did get a bit distracted by the props.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28We are playing chess.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Stop messing about with the props and get on with it.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36The chair, wow, that was amazing. Very comfortable.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39The team finally start filming...
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Take one, scene one, action.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45..but are struggling to get to grips with the camera.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47We have got all the right ingredients,
0:04:47 > 0:04:48now how do we make a wife?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51It kept on zooming in at the wrong moments
0:04:51 > 0:04:53and zooming out at the wrong moments.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55And now there's another problem.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Your Majesty the King.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00'The light was shining really bright'
0:05:00 > 0:05:02in the camera and we couldn't see anything.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05You need to film Ellie from there.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08By moving the camera, they avoid seeing that pesky light.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Your Majesty the King.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Hello, Wizard.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15But with all the technical problems, there's something gone unnoticed.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16All the smoke is gone.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20They have forgotten to shut the door and all the smoke has escaped.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Because we were all stepping about
0:05:21 > 0:05:25and running about, all the smoke was being pushed out the door.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28With no time to waste, the team decide
0:05:28 > 0:05:30to press on to the next scene.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Guys, can I just say I think we should do, like,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34a faraway shot for this.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37If Millie films, you can see it through, with the curtains
0:05:37 > 0:05:39dangling down and everything, it looks quite nice.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Eloushka's full of dramatic ideas, but the others aren't convinced.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And, Riley, I think it would look quite cool
0:05:46 > 0:05:48if we have, like, the cauldron drop and then...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- No. - OTHERS: No.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53'We were all having all these ideas.'
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It was like trying to shout over each other.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:06:00 > 0:06:01One at a time, guys.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04They just didn't listen to each other.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07They just thought, "I need my opinion heard."
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Coming up, Riley gets into his regal role.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- He has a very strong opinion for what he wants to do.- Right!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Will the team find a way to replace the smoke?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I think we should do something a bit more "wow".
0:06:21 > 0:06:23And will they ever finish their movie?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24One more time.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27OTHERS GROAN
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I love a good fairytale.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38So, if I gave you three wishes, what would you wish for first?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43If I could have three wishes, world peace is up there,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46but being able to sing would be definitely number one.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Another million wishes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I think it would be the gift of laughter.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Another infinity wishes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Another infinity and beyond wishes.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03If I could wave a wand, there would be no more wars, would there?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07To marry Superman, cos that would just be a super life.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09SHE LAUGHS
0:07:14 > 0:07:17We ask the questions so you don't have to.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I'm giving you three wishes. What are you going to wish for?
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Oh, dear.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I have so much dirty laundry right now
0:07:25 > 0:07:29that's going to take so long for me to sort out and get washed.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Don't you wish you could just do that with the click of your fingers?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It doesn't get much more random than this.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Who has taken out all the same books as Shizuku in the library?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Seiji Amasawa.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Who runs the antique shop?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Seiji's grandpa.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Who is Moon or Muta?

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Who is the first person to read Shizuku's story?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Erm, Seiji's grandpa.

0:08:32 > 0:08:37What does Angus feed the water horse after it hatches out of the egg?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39He fed it potatoes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Where did Kirsty first discover the water horse?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44In the bath.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46What phobia does Angus have?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49He has a phobia of water, or aquaphobia.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52What is Angus's last name?
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Angus MacMorrow.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57What is the faked picture of the Loch Ness Monster called?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59The Loch Ne...

0:09:37 > 0:09:40And the winner is Maria.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Yeah!
0:09:42 > 0:09:47And now, Cinemaniacs, I am so excited for what is coming up next.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51It's Mr Jeff Kinney, the writer of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55He's sold more than 150 million books and made three movies.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58But will he make a fourth. And if he does, then can I be in it?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Hi, my name is Jeff Kinney, author of the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series
0:10:06 > 0:10:07and I'm a Cinemaniac.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Finding the actors was very difficult at first.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19We had to start with our Greg.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22School isn't even out yet.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Maybe we should come back.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Some of the actors look a lot like my characters,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29like Rowley Jefferson is a really good approximation.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Geronimo!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34When you sit people down in a theatre,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38you have to change things to make sure the story really has an impact.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43So we did things like added the mother and son dance
0:10:43 > 0:10:46to really amp up the conflict between Greg and Rowley.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49RAP MUSIC
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Because here, Rowley has a big moment in front of all his classmates.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58It's an emotional high for Rowley, so it's an emotional level for Greg.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00You have got to be kidding me.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04There is one day on set when something really funny happened.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Zach Gordon did not like being in the swimming pool.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Greg, honey, go help your brother.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Because the water was an off colour and he was afraid the little kids
0:11:17 > 0:11:19were actually peeing in the pool.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- What's so funny?- I'm peeing.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Then, as a joke, the girl who played Holly Hills...
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Why don't we play doubles?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30..threw a candy bar into the pool.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Then she said there's something in the pool
0:11:33 > 0:11:35and everybody on set just completely freaked out.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It was kind of gross, but very funny.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I think there will be a fourth movie
0:11:40 > 0:11:42and I really hope that The Long Haul gets made
0:11:42 > 0:11:46because it will take us outside the school environment completely,
0:11:46 > 0:11:47put the characters out on the road,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51it will be a totally different kind of story, really fresh.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53If we can get away with keeping the same parents,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55maybe even Rodrick, but the kids
0:11:55 > 0:11:58who played Greg and Rowley in the first movie have grown up,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02but Greg is a cartoon character,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04he'll stay at the same age for ever.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07You heard it first here... on Cinemaniacs.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Wimpy Kid, fantastic idea for a book and a movie, too.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15But imagine if you had the idea for a movie and had to convince
0:12:15 > 0:12:18a pair of top film producers to make it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21But you only had 20 seconds to do it in.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24That's about the same time it takes to ride an elevator.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Let's see what happened when we invited a group
0:12:28 > 0:12:32of super-talented Cinemaniacs to try the elevator pitch.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35This is Debra Hayward, she produced Les Miserables.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37And this is Eric Fellner,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40the producer of many films, including Nanny McPhee.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Right, hit it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46It's basically about a boy who's just started secondary school
0:12:46 > 0:12:47and he's really nervous.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Simone never clicks with the girls in her year,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51so when her parents win the lottery,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54her new-found popularity is a dream come true. Or she thinks.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- He started stealing organs from the Earth.- Organs as in...organs?- Yes.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- OK, all right. - No, people's organs.- OK.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06This story is about a hero called The Hurricane.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09He was a boy that found a magical pen
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and then he turns into this superhero called The Hurricane.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17- Go.- Annie is a bad schoolgirl who is trying to hide from trouble.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Very good.- I like that. - Thank you very much.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23So, Debra, which film would you most like to get made?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I liked the superhero one. The one with the pen that had powers.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31If I asked you to pitch Les Miserables in 15 seconds...
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Oh, what a terrible question! - Go on, now, go.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Er...based on the...um...
0:13:38 > 0:13:40There you go, you've failed.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Still to come on Cinemaniacs...
0:13:43 > 0:13:48We head behind the scenes of cream-pie-filled Bugsy Malone.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51They plucked my eyebrows and they never grew back.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55There's a super tough audition in store for super actor Michael Sheen.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58DISTORTED VOICE
0:13:58 > 0:14:02And we show you how to create a truly head-spinning effect.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03It looks really cool.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09But first, it's part two of DIY Blockbuster.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Once upon a time, there were six film-makers who had been given
0:14:14 > 0:14:16a DIY Blockbuster set to film in.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21But after distractions and disagreements...
0:14:21 > 0:14:22ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:14:22 > 0:14:25..their movie was becoming a disaster.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Filming is well under way and the team still aren't cooperating.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Quiet, please. - Where are we going from?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- From the beginning.- Are we? - No.- You said cut.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Unless they find a way to agree on things soon,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39they could run out of time.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Leave it, no. That's fine, that's fine, keep it there.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45And this fairytale story won't have a happy ending.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- No, let go.- I've got it. - Ellie, it's you.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53And then you had an argument.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Get off it, I need it for this scene.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- You don't need to drop it.- Cut.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I was supposed to drop the bucket, but it stayed snatched up
0:15:01 > 0:15:04and then we started arguing in the middle of it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- He doesn't need it for the scene. - Yes, he does.- OK, he does.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12He has a very strong opinion for what he wants to do.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Just because he had a bigger part than other people,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19he thought he was the best.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Yes.- He was like, well, my idea is best.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I'm the best, let's do my ideas.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Whoa, don't hold back, girls!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29The team eventually resolve their differences
0:15:29 > 0:15:31and are finally starting to work together.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Now it's time for the big smoke effect,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36or not, as it escaped earlier.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38We didn't have anything to use, so we used sand
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and it was all over the floor.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Sand? Are you sure?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- That was not cool.- Yeah, that's OK.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47It's like a puff of smoke, but it's a puff of sand.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It was going in someone's eyes or the camera.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I've got sand all over me!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- It wasn't me.- It wasn't me.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59It went down, like, my top. It went all over the camera.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03We watched it back, it was, like, the sand threw
0:16:03 > 0:16:06and it would be, like, at the bottom of the screen and you'd be, like,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08what about the top of the screen?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Oh, it's not very, like, dramatic, I think
0:16:11 > 0:16:13we should do something a bit more "wow".
0:16:13 > 0:16:15You know what they say?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17People in wizard houses shouldn't throw sand.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Stand by. Quiet, please.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24The team have less than an hour to finish their film.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Take one.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Scene one.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Where's Eloutrica? - LAUGHING
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Quiet, please. Take two.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35The filming kept on going wrong.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Take three. Take five.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41We had to do it again until we did it right again.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Right, one more time.- Oh!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48We wanted to get it perfect.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Take seven. Take eight.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52It was just really hard.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So, take nine, and we're not doing it ten times.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Take 10. Take 12.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Action.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Yay, 12th time lucky!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Oh, I think I got...
0:17:05 > 0:17:08And after one last quick shot, their movie is complete.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09And that's a wrap.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15We gave the team an amazing set.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Cool!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19They lost the smoke and nearly lost the plot.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23But did this fairytale have a happy ending?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- It was better than what we thought it was.- It was amazing.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28And now let's all go home.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34You can check out the team's finished movie on the CBBC website.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40So, this is where I give you guys three top tips for improving
0:17:40 > 0:17:41the sound in your videos.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Tip one, you need good sound. Get yourself a good microphone.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49I'm wearing a mic now
0:17:49 > 0:17:53and this is a good one to use because it sounds nice and clear.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Or you can get a mic that sticks on top of your camera.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Tip two, bad sound. Make sure you're aware of your surroundings.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00CHUGGING
0:18:00 > 0:18:03And aren't standing next to anything noisy, like this.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Because people won't be able to hear you clearly.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Tip number three, sound effects.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09You can have so much fun with sound effects.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13TING! POP! BELCHING
0:18:13 > 0:18:15TRUMPETING
0:18:15 > 0:18:17FARTING
0:18:17 > 0:18:21And that's three tips to have better sound in your videos. And now this.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Let's head behind the scenes with Bugsy Malone.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Charlie, it's a double cross.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32OK, yous guys, freeze.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I'm Bonnie Langford and I played Lena Marelli in Bugsy Malone
0:18:41 > 0:18:43when I was ten years old.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46# Show business is in my veins... #
0:18:46 > 0:18:50I'm Dexter Fletcher and I played Baby Face in Bugsy Malone
0:18:50 > 0:18:52when I was nine years old.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Get Baby Face.- Get Baby Face.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56I am Baby Face.
0:18:56 > 0:19:02Lena Marelli is the star of the speakeasy show at the Bijou Theatre.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05They plucked my eyebrows and they never grew back.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Will you be quiet up there? I'm rehearsing.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09My hair, they stuck a bowl on,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11cut round it and cut all my hair off.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I was absolutely bereft at nine years old.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- It's all right now.- It's grown back.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Tommy!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19There were no grown-ups at all in the movie.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22So that was great for us, because there were cars,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24you got to drive the cars, even though they were pedals.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- So they designed cars that kids could drive.- They were fantastic.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29And then guns that shot cream.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33They couldn't actually create a gun that fired cream,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36so they created a gun that fired ping-pong balls.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38And they would do a close-up view
0:19:38 > 0:19:39and you'd hold a handful of cream and...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- throw it in your face. - Oh, my goodness!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43So when you edited it together,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47you've got the guy shooting and then you do the edit.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48And then... Exactly.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57So this is show business.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It's time for The Secrets Of Moviemaking.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Introducing Mr Mike Tucker!
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Here to show you how to create special effects, Hollywood-style,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12in The Secrets Of Moviemaking!
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Today, we're going to show you how to create a wormhole vortex.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Well, we're not actually going to make a real wormhole vortex,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21but it's going to look like you have.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24So grab a couple of friends and let's get started.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28We're going to create a mysterious wormhole vortex effect
0:20:28 > 0:20:32similar to one seen in a film called The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You'll need some really basic things for this.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38A pair of tights - ask if you can use them first.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40A can of beans. A coat hanger.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42And a torch.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Step 1 - cut a leg off the tights carefully.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Try and cut as neatly along that seam as we can.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Brilliant. OK, we can get rid of those.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58This is going to be the mouth of our vortex.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Cool! Next up, step 2.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Bend the coat hanger into a circle
0:21:05 > 0:21:10or, better still, get someone strong to help you, cos it's quite hard.
0:21:10 > 0:21:17We're just going to try and pull that into a slightly rounder shape.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21The nice thing is, it gives us a handle to hold on to as well.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Step 3 - tape the open end of the tight leg to the coat hanger.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Get that strong person to help you with this, too.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Last bit.
0:21:30 > 0:21:36So that is going to form the mouth of our vortex.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Step 4 - time to open up that wormhole.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42The next thing we need to do is make sure the bottom of our vortex
0:21:42 > 0:21:44is stretched as long as it can be.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48So we need something heavy in there that will pull it down to the floor.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50So, what do your reckon?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- The beans.- A can of beans. Exactly.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Yeah, stretch it so it comes all the way down to the bottom of the tights.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Great!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Step 5 - cue lighting effects.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Now, if you start waving the torch beam up and down
0:22:06 > 0:22:10the length of the tights while filming straight down there...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And make it look even better by switching off the lights
0:22:16 > 0:22:18and getting some colour into the action.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- How's that looking? - It looks really cool.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24And now for the really fun bit.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Grab your little brother's favourite action figure
0:22:27 > 0:22:30and send him off into the wormhole vortex.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Aaaaaaargh!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Whoa! That made my head spin, literally!
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Here's something that will make your head spin.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Our super actor has to audition for a part.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46But can he win the challenge?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Aaaaargh!
0:22:48 > 0:22:52And now, the star of Alice In Wonderland, Tron and Twilight,
0:22:52 > 0:22:58all-round good guy Michael Sheen, super actor!
0:22:58 > 0:23:01For today's challenge, I've got to prove my acting worth
0:23:01 > 0:23:07to these judges in the Audition Challenge!
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I will be going up head-to-head with Tom
0:23:10 > 0:23:13who is a similar build and height to me.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15And the judging panel will have to say
0:23:15 > 0:23:17who they believe has the most star power.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Obviously I'm hoping it's me.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Top three tips for a successful audition are, one, be prepared.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Well, Tom, you can forget about being prepared on this challenge.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28We are going to perform three pieces
0:23:28 > 0:23:31and we only get one minute to learn each one.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Look at that, there's loads.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Number two, being confident. If you step into the room
0:23:36 > 0:23:39feeling confident about yourself, that will shine through.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42You'll need all the confidence you've got going up against me.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I'm a super actor.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Number three, making a good impression.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Directors make decisions very quickly.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- So I think you have to do something memorable.- Oh, yes.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53And they won't know who's who, because we'll be wearing masks
0:23:53 > 0:23:55and talking through voice changers.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59I need to succeed in two out of three auditions to win.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03It's time for the challenge.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Audition one.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09It's a scene from My Fair Lady, and first in is me.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Nice chicken mask, eh?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13It's a favourite of mine for auditions.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17I know your nerves are as raw as meat in a butcher's window,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21but think what you are trying to accomplish.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I know your nerves are as raw as meat in a butcher's window,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27but think of what we are dealing with.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29So, what did the judges think?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33I think A. He had more hand gestures.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I think they were both really good, but I think A was better.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- I think A was the best. - I chose A.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41A was just a little bit...
0:24:41 > 0:24:43He had the good tone of voice.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46So, the winner of this audition, that's me!
0:24:48 > 0:24:50To make sure the judges don't know who's who,
0:24:50 > 0:24:55I'll be changing my mask, but Tom is staying as a chicken.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00This time, we've got a scene from Bugsy Malone and Tom is up first.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03There's only room in this town for one Mr Big.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05And that's me.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12There's only room in this town for one Mr Big.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14And that's me.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I preferred B, because I felt like he was really talking to us.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- I chose B.- I think B.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26I chose B, because in my opinion, he was more confident than A.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- I preferred B.- I chose B.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32And the winner of audition two is actor B.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Oh, no, that's Tom!
0:25:34 > 0:25:38It's 1-1. Everything rests on this last audition. Game on!
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Last piece is Mary Poppins.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Not easy to pull off when you're dressed as a sheep.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48Childhood slips like sand through a sieve.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54And all too soon they've up and grown and away they fly.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59And all too soon...it's too late.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Childhood slips like sand through a sieve.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07- I think A was better than B.- B was kind of a bit dull, a bit boring.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12- I chose A.- I thought A had a lot of hand gestures.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I think A was a lot more energetic.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15I chose A.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18And the winner of audition three
0:26:18 > 0:26:20is actor A. Me!
0:26:20 > 0:26:23So, the verdict is...
0:26:23 > 0:26:262-1 to me. Result!
0:26:26 > 0:26:30So, today's challenge started with some creepy animal masks
0:26:30 > 0:26:32and a voice changer. And with some...
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Oscar-winning acting,
0:26:34 > 0:26:39I am, at least for today, Michael Sheen, super actor.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Next time on Cinemaniacs...
0:26:44 > 0:26:47A Hollywood director makes a surprise appearance
0:26:47 > 0:26:49in DIY Blockbuster.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Hi, guys, I'm Ron Howard.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I wasn't expecting that.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56We head behind the scenes with Horrid Henry: The Movie.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59How horrid do you think it's going to be tonight, Henry?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Very horrid.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06And will Michael Sheen, super actor, manage to be a super cry-baby.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08The cry-cam is in position.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Nearly time for the credits to roll, but just before they do,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17this next Cinemaniacs secret
0:27:17 > 0:27:22is for everyone who loves mucking around in mud.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Legend has it that the animators who worked on Shrek took mud showers
0:27:25 > 0:27:29so they could figure out the best way of animating mud in the swamp.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33How cool is that? Well, got to go, it's time for my mud shower.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I'm Oli White and you've been watching Cinemaniacs.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Action adventure or fantasy?
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- Action adventure.- Action.- Fantasy.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Action adventure.- Fantasy.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49If it's fantasy like unicorns and stuff, then I'm totally there.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- Fantasy.- I am the unicorn, so... - Fantasy.
