Snowblade - Son of The Beast

Calvin collides with Sable

There's an old show business saying: Never work with children or animals. Its also a challenge to work with your own children, given that you can't threaten, cajole or fire them.

Regardless, I bravely cast my son Calvin as Callow, a pint-sized swordsman who duels our heroine.

On arrival the studio, Calvin and Sable went straight to the martial arts area to rehearse their fight.

Try and stay in the frame, son...

Calvin cuts, Sable leaps.

Foes on screen, friends off...

Superboy and friend...

Then Logan Jnr went into hair and make-up to get his look together.

Calvin as Callow.

Calvin emotes.

Like a bat out of he-e-l-l-l!!! - Showing him how its done...

Director father and actor son...

And then it was into the green screen for some wirework.

 Here's me telling Calvin to spin three times and land on his head...

The fearless Calvin takes flight.

Calvin The Conqueror!

Swing it like you mean it!

We have lift off!

And you have to play it BIG!!!

Calvin sells a line.

Wires are for beginners.
