0:00:39 > 0:00:44I'm Oli White and this is Cinemaniacs - Cineminis.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Coming up...
0:00:45 > 0:00:48A super celebrity surprise.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51As soon as he came through the door I was just like...
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Movie sound effect secrets...
0:00:57 > 0:01:00..and Michael Sheen - Super Actor - monkeys about.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02MONKEY WHOOPS
0:01:02 > 0:01:05What do you think of the show so far, Ben?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Oh, wow, that's a good question.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Yeah, it's a good question, that's why I asked you.- Very cool.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Yeah, it is.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13OK, now here's a question for you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Are you ready for a DIY blockbusting surprise?
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Action.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We're giving groups of film-makers the chance to make a short film,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28armed with just a camera, a script and some home-made props.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32But little do they know, they're in for a big surprise...
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You didn't know I was coming?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37..when we give them something spectacular
0:01:37 > 0:01:41to turn their home movie into a DIY blockbuster.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46On the shot list, the first one is the wide shot...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Libby, Harley, Connie, Maddie, Gus and Eva are making a thriller.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54There's a grandad and he lives with his granddaughter.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I'm going away for a while.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58He tells her that he's going to the Amazon
0:01:58 > 0:02:00because he wants to be a spy again.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Here is where I'm going.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The team think they're going to be playing all of the parts
0:02:05 > 0:02:06in their film themselves, but none of them
0:02:06 > 0:02:10look exactly convincing as an elderly grandparent.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12We still to need to figure out who's Grandad.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14What they don't know is that they are in for
0:02:14 > 0:02:16a DIY blockbuster surprise.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19We've arranged for a world-famous actor to star in their film,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22who will be perfect for the part of Grandad.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Quiet, please. Action.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26There's some other shopping you need to do.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28With no idea of what's about to happen,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29the team are well into filming,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32with Harley taking the role of Grandad,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34when, suddenly, the doorbell rings.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Hello, Ian McKellen, hello.- Hello!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Yes, their DIY blockbuster surprise
0:02:47 > 0:02:51really is Ian McKellen, star of The Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and the X-Men films.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57As soon as he came through the door I was just like...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Hello.- Hello.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It's Gandalf. I was like... It's Gandalf.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04It was just so amazing.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Me and Harley looked at each other and we were like, "Yes."
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Angus, nice to meet you. I like your hat.- Thanks.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Properly, properly wound up.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- You didn't know I was coming?- No.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I was a bit nervous coming in, as you can imagine.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Is this is where I live?- Yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- I'm your granddaughter.- Thank you.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Ian's keen to get straight into character.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Now, do you suppose it was your mother or your father
0:03:27 > 0:03:30who was my child?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31I asked Lucy...
0:03:34 > 0:03:39..was she the daughter of my son or of my daughter,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and she hadn't thought about that.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43It doesn't really matter.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Well, it matters to me.- Father.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49So I had a son and he was your father.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Lovely.- OK.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56With a better understanding of Grandad's character, filming begins.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Lucy, there's something I need to tell you.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I'm going to go away for a while.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Ian's performance was, like, perfect.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07It was really good, it was amazing.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09But why, Grandad?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Because I'm old and I need something to do.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I was just looking at the thing and just going,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15"Yes."
0:04:15 > 0:04:16I'll miss you, Grandad.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21He acted like he was actually her grandad.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26In fact, Ian's acting is so convincing, it's causing confusion.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Don't move! Tell us where the USB stick is.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32'I thought he was actually really scared.'
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Where have you hidden it?- I have no idea what you're talking about.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37'And I didn't mean to scare him or anything.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40'He really convinced me that it was real.'
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Lucy, don't forget the shopping list.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Ian may be a world-class actor, but he still needs direction,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48and the team have forgotten to tell him
0:04:48 > 0:04:51what he's meant to be doing in this scene.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- That was a shambles.- Yeah.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57You've got to tell the actors what to do.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Maddie and I didn't know that we were in the shot.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03We had to tell him, like, what to do, where to be.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05So, where am I standing, roughly?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Just stand there and just go... Stuff everything in.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12If I had any questions, they listened and gave me a clear answer,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16so I felt they adopted me as part of the team and I relaxed.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Ian's impressed with the speed the team are working at.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I'll tell you what, I have never worked so fast in my life.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23It's brilliant.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I always want you directing my films.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30In fact, they're already on to their final scene.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33What you need to do is film Maddie and then go on to them.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35But I'm getting cold!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37And they're using the wet weather to their advantage.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40It was a rainforest, so it was good that it was rainy because it
0:05:40 > 0:05:44kind of got that little effect and made it a little bit more realistic.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46But we did get really wet though.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50But is it a good idea to keep your star waiting around in the rain?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I was a bit cold and I was a bit damp,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54but then so were they and they weren't complaining,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56so I didn't think I should.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Action.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Just moments away from finishing their movie, there's a hitch.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02I escaped.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Oh, the battery ran out!
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Battery.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09But nothing a spare battery can't fix.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12There's somebody here to see you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I escaped. Oh!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Yay!- Well done.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22They finally managed to get the last shot, so that's a wrap.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26It was such a good day. I don't think I'm ever going to forget it.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29ALL: Thank you.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Wow, thank you.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35I just can't believe that he would take the time to work with us.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36He's just an amazing man.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Thank you very much and I'll see you at the premiere.- Yeah.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Right, thank you.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44So what was the best bit of this magical day?
0:06:44 > 0:06:49We met Ian and he was in our film.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53You can check out the team's finished movie on the CBBC website.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Time for some movie magic.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00My name's Guy Rowland and I'm a sound designer.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02A lot of the effects you can do at home with just stuff
0:07:02 > 0:07:05that's around the house. It's sort of what the professionals do.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07They take sounds that are recorded that might be for a
0:07:07 > 0:07:09completely different purpose,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11and then they put them over different pictures
0:07:11 > 0:07:14and it fools the mind into thinking you've heard something you haven't.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16A really unusual effect can be done with just a pillow.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19And if you get your hands and start beating the pillow fast,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21that can sound like the bird flapping its wings.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23A fun trick to play is if you record someone just
0:07:23 > 0:07:26putting their hand into an empty box, and then, of course, you can
0:07:26 > 0:07:29have all sorts of fun with the sound of what's in the box.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32And you can get something like a pumpkin or a tomato
0:07:32 > 0:07:35and just make those horrible squishy sounds on there.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38And then if you put that over the picture of the hand going in the box,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41it makes you think something really horrible is going on
0:07:41 > 0:07:42that you can't see.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44If you've got one of these...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46If it's a metal one, it should work really well.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49All you need to do is you hold it out in front of you, get a cup,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53hold it at the bottom like that, and let go and...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55LASER WHOOSHING SOUND
0:07:55 > 0:07:58There's the laser sound from Star Wars.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05So, this is where I give you guys three top tips

0:08:13 > 0:08:17I've pressed stop when I've actually meant to press start.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19You need to make sure you have a memory card
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and that there's no embarrassing selfies on.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Oh, no, that's photoshopped, I swear.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27There are so many different memory cards out there.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31There's SD cards, there's CF card, LOL, WBU.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Actually, hold on a minute. No, they're not all memory cards.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Yes!
0:11:01 > 0:11:06And now, the star of Alice In Wonderland, Tron and Twilight.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10He is Michael Sheen - Super Actor.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16My challenge for today is just to monkey about.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Yep, that's right, I simply have to dress up in this monkey outfit
0:11:19 > 0:11:24and try to convince this lot that I am the best monkey actor.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Except, I'm up against Aidan - a professional primate performer -
0:11:27 > 0:11:29he's one of the best in the business.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31And he'll be going head-to-head with me in...
0:11:35 > 0:11:38But first I have to get covered in sticky stuff.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42I am getting prepared for what's called a skull cap, and I wear
0:11:42 > 0:11:48that inside the ape suit so that my head's not rattling around inside.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50You might think this looks weird,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53but wait till you see what else I'm wearing under my monkey suit.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Do my muscles look big in this?
0:11:56 > 0:11:57I knew there was something I forgot to do.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I forgot to shave my legs.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- As you do the step, try and lead with the elbow.- Yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06There's just time for Aidan
0:12:06 > 0:12:09to give me a quick masterclass in monkey movements.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11What makes for a good ape actor?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13The ability to put up with not being able to see very well,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15not being able to breathe very well
0:12:15 > 0:12:19and being able to put up with quite high levels of heat.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20So, how's it looking?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22'He's just trying to put me off!'
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Whoa, steady with the eyeliner. Monkey contacts in.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Push now, push it in.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I'm starting to wonder if there's a bit more to this challenge than just
0:12:30 > 0:12:33putting on a fancy dress costume and jumping around in the garden.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35But I can't let Aidan know that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I'm sure he'll be very good because he's an absolutely
0:12:37 > 0:12:41first-class actor, but, at the same time, I think it will be quite hard.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45The skin texture feels really amazing.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Right, head's on, let's get into character.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I remember when I first performed Shakespeare.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52I was Henry V.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54'OK, maybe not.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57'Think bananas, think jungle.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59'Think itchy armpits.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01It's time for...
0:13:01 > 0:13:04# Now I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle VIP... #
0:13:04 > 0:13:06'Here I come. I'm starting casual.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08'It's quite normal for me
0:13:08 > 0:13:10'to be monkeying about in an English country garden.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14'All I need to do is convince five out of the eight judges
0:13:14 > 0:13:16'I'm the best ape.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21'Whoa there. Oh, he's just showing off.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25'Time to show them what I can do.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27'Check this out, guys.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30'Walking, turning a corner...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33'and sitting down.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36'Exhausting, but I think they like it.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37'Oi, get off!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40'Yeah, yeah, never mind the camera, Aidan.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42'It's getting quite hot in here.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44'Hopefully I've done enough to impress the judges, though.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48You couldn't tell that there were people underneath them.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53I found it interesting, but quite scary at the same time.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58I thought they looked really realistic and quite scary.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59It's time for...
0:14:01 > 0:14:04'So, who's voting for me? Michael Sheen - Super Actor.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06'AKA the orang-utan.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10'What, one banana? I mean, one vote? Which means...
0:14:11 > 0:14:14'..seven votes for Aidan as the most convincing primate!
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I chose the gorilla because he's quite boisterous
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and I think that's what they look like in the wild.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21He, like, interacted with the judges,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23like, running towards them and stuff.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24I chose the orang-utan
0:14:24 > 0:14:30cos it was more relaxed, whereas the gorilla was a bit too active.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Today's challenge started with me monkeying around, but it ended up
0:14:34 > 0:14:38with my orang-utan playing second banana to Aidan's gorilla.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Which means that today, Michael Sheen - Super Actor...
0:14:41 > 0:14:42has failed.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Better luck next time, Michael.
