Vimeo site is now updated! All the edited short clips are also on the vid page here. It's been a lot of work, but hopefully will pay off with work. You can view the clips in the Video and Auidio page, or at https://vimeo.com/jefferyrichards.
Just completed a 3 day shoot for a music video. Played with guns, got shot and basically had an awesome time!
Well, it's been a great year thus far. Just completed a 1st draft of a musical called, The Underground. It has certainly been the biggest thing I have ever tackled. Feeling pretty proud at the achievement... Now to send it out and get feedback.
Always good when a previous job wants to do another round of commercials. Excellent!

Another short film, Know Danger. Interesting character. Very dark, but playful. love playing a baddy. They are always so much fun!


Another Doctor role! Corporate re-enactment for an insurance company. Lots of dialogue, but should be fun!


Just had a great day shooting a short film called, The Gambler. It's not often you get to play a old Western character. Loved it! Hope it looks good in the end.


Melbourne Airport Parking photo shoot all done. You might have to put up with this head for a while! ;)

MAParking


New Headshots done! If you are ever looking for a great headshot photographer I couldn't recommend Julian Dolman any higher. Headshot Photographer. He had a great new shooting style that we applied to the session, which worked so well. Very, very happy!


Aaaand yes they did have one! Always makes it easier when things fall into place! Great day!


Just got through the script I have to learn! Pages and pages of reenactment dialogue.... Hope there is an auto cue!


Well, I snagged a few of those auditions, so it will be another busy week ahead! Great way to start the day when you get that "You've been successful," email in your in-box.


It's been a very busy week! Just sent of one of my features! Here's to a great outcome... Fingers crossed! Also had quite a few auditions, which is always awesome!


After an almost 2 hour drive from my brothers house where I am house sitting, I had a wonderful audition at Nick Hamon Casting. Megan was great as always, and the girl who was my daughter for the audition was awesome. Love it when you have that great connection with the person you are auditioning with... I love the playing aspect of what I do. Good day! :)


Just sent off a random response to a facebook ad for a TVC and scored an audition! You just never know where it's going to come from some times.


Finally finished the next draft of, Deadly Choices. Had it assessed a while ago by an extraordinary talented man. His notes were awesome, but scary at the same time. It meant I would have a very seizable re-write to undertake. I hammered it out in different stages, but now that it's finished I am so, so glad that I did it. Very happy day!


Just finished shooting a TVC for Picture Co. I got to play an Agronomist..... I didn't know what it was either, for anyone saying, "What's that?".... Basically, it's a scientist for the land. Pretty full on with all the dialogue and its terminology. Thank God for auto cue!

EverGol Prime and Prosaro - A Two-Step Defensive Game Plan

Evergol Prime


Sent of one of my features, Uriel to have notes done. It's always a little scary when you let one out. You think it's good, but you know that's just your perspective... Dam it, it is good though!... I hope ;)


You win some and... Well,you know how it goes. I won this one though! Shoots in a week. Lot's of tricky dialogue. Should be fun!


Just had to do a quick self test for a TVC. Lines down, shot and sent all within an hour!... Fingers crossed!


Off to Turkey! Always said I would get to Gallipoli on the 100th year anniversary, and now I am doing it!... So excited! Can't wait to walk into Anzac cove. I'm sure it will bring up all sorts of emotions.


Have just finished up with a short film, Ascension... 23 minutes long, but still short. Was a great experience. Very intense. The director Claire K Marsh was brilliant to work with. Such great passion for her project.


During the last few years I have been working on an animation show called, Get Ace!... Well, I have just been told that it has been nominated for an Emmy! How unbelievably awesome is that!? Hats off to all the team for producing such a high standard show. And especially the creators who wouldn't settle for anything less than great... Very happy day!


I was just told that the CFA TVC was the most successful campaign that the CFA have had. Not one life was lost over the summer. Nice to be part of something that helped. Well done to all who put it together, and especially to our firemen and women. You all do such an awesome job and never get the praise you deserve!


Looks like I'll be playing Herman Rockefeller... Reenacting that is. Sex Lies and Double Lives... One very strange story.


Just saw my latest TVC! Pretty happy with it!

Fire Ready CFA - Two Minds

CFA TVC


Had a great few days shooting a CFA TVC. Was shot up in beautiful Warburton. Stunning area. Chris Sferrazza was great to work with. It's so nice when you get on set with someone and they have such a clear vision of what they are after.


Got to strut around the stage in heels and very sexy lingerie. I also got told I had very nice legs... Not something I hear everyday!


Had a great shoot working with Robert Connolly on, Underground. Loved the fact that he was as giving to all the actors, no matter where you fell in the food chain. Nice. :)


Just got a nice little day part in, "Underground, The Julian Assange Story."... Those workshops really pay off some times.


I feel a Conspiracy 365 coming on. Time to see what my needle work is like. Never played a Dr before, but after tomorrow I can say I have!


Just scored another pilot, Section Ed! Nearly didn't make it to the first read through though. My car decided to blow a radiator hose a few k's from the office where I had to be. Pouring rain, here I was running into strangers front yards pulling their hoses out to refill the radiator... Then I found some duct tape! Yes! Wrapped up the hose and off I went, slightly drenched. I made it though, and all the way home. I am MacGyver!


Time to help out the Packers!... In the mini series that is. Another day part. In and out. Should be a blast. Howzat!


Off to work on, Rush today. Just a quickie, but it's all work!.... Time to be an Ambo!
