Can Cal get a woman who hasn't spoken in 14 years to reveal her secrets? For more information Conspiracy visit www. Harrison Gilbertson : Conspiracy is a young action adventure story but further to that Conspiracy is about working out who you are and discovering your own identity, the show takes that to an extreme with all of the action but the underlying theme is what a lot of teenagers go through and I know I am still experiencing it and I probably will for the rest of my life ; it's about working out who you are.
My character Cal Ormond is thrown into an amazing situation where he really has to discover who he is, quickly!
Question: Had you read the books by Gabrielle Lord before you began filming? Harrison Gilbertson : No, I didn't and I still feel a little funny about that but we were told not to as the show is an adaption of the book by Gabrielle Lord as we couldn't shoot every action scene that was in the book. We didn't read it and because of that I was able to try and create something different from the standard action hero.
I have tried to make Cal Ormond real and have included more of his identity and how he is trying to work out who he is as well as the action hero. Question: How are you similar to your character of Cal Ormond?
Harrison Gilbertson : In a way Cal Ormond is like every teenager, more so before he is thrown into the situation of being a fugitive as that's certainly not normal , but before it all starts he sits around a lot and thinks about why his dad is never around and he thinks about where he stands as a person.
In that sense I am similar to Cal Ormond because I certainly have experienced trying to figure out how I think and what my morals are.
In the show Cal has to do things that go against his morals in order to survive; things he never thought he would and in that situation I had to imagine what that would be like. Question: How does it feel to see yourself on the screen? Harrison Gilbertson : It is weird but I have the view that you cannot regard it as being too weird because then you begin to look at it as being too weird when it's what I do!
Watching myself on the screen is a part of my job. I was watching something I'd recorded from the TV, the other day, and I was fast forwarding and for a split second the screen showed my face during an advert for Conspiracy and I was shocked and thought 'was that really me? Question: How did you adapt to filming each episode of Conspiracy as a 'month'? Harrison Gilbertson : Not in the filming sense. I hadn't recorded for TV before but I was told Conspiracy was filmed like any other show, in blocks.
We shot the first four episodes, over four weeks and then took a week's break and then shoot the next four. In one day we'd be shooting a scene for episode one and three! The format of a monthly show is really different and I liked that, I enjoy when people have a go at something slightly different.
Question: Do you have a preference between acting for television or film? Harrison Gilbertson : I enjoyed acting for television, but filming for movies is a lot quicker as it is six weeks of intense work and then a break.
With Conspiracy we worked nearly every day for six months, it was huge because we had 12 hour days however it was certainly fun because it was so fast-paced and I had to go with my gut feelings which was a good lesson. I am a perfectionist with everything and I want to get it all right and television and working with other actors taught me a good lesson regarding that and to not take everything so seriously.
I got to work with a number of different actors, each day. I enjoyed watching them rock up, walk onto set and just be able to act. Harrison Gilbertson : I'd have to say myself as acting was what I always wanted to do.
I was honestly lucky that my parents were supportive, because that was the main thing. They were supportive and not just in terms of "sure, do what you want to do" but they were always asking "what is the next step? I actually owe them a lot of money for flying me to Melbourne, as a kid, to audition. I was auditioning from the age of six and from the age of six to fourteen I didn't get another role and as a kid dealing with rejection is tough and I was lucky that my parents were supportive and didn't stop me auditioning because I was upset, they asked "do you want to stop?
Question: Which actor do you hope to be able to work with, in the future? Harrison Gilbertson : Naturally I admire so many big name actors like you do with any career, but I also fear the actors that I admire as they might not be as nice, in real life laughing!
I have worked with many great people and I have learnt a lot from those who may not be as famous because they are really good actors who don't take themselves seriously, but take the work seriously. Question: What are you currently working on?
Harrison Gilbertson : Yes! I have a film that will hopefully start early next year, in Australia and I am shortlisted for three things in the US at the moment - I hope one of them will land. It will be fantastic to head over to the US. I can't say much about the Australian film because it is an independent film but it is set in the 's and it centres around the skating environment so I am trying to learn how to skateboard without breaking any bones, although I have a lot of bruises because I keep falling off laughing!
Question: Where do you see yourself in the next five years? If I am happy with whatever I am doing, that's all I can hope. Interview by Brooke Hunter Conspiracy At his father's funeral, year-old Cal Ormond is warned by a crazy stranger about a cryptic puzzle known as the 'Ormond Singularity.
Immediately, events move forward at breakneck pace. Before the week is out, Cal has been accused of attempting to murder his uncle-his father's identical twin brother-and his sister is in a coma. Who can Cal rely on? His old friend Boges, and now a new friend, mysterious Winter. But Winter's guardian, Vulkan Sligo, turns out to be head of one of the two criminal gangs after Cal.
Then there's the Ormond Jewel, the Ormond Riddle, and the puzzle of what Cal's father, charismatic Tom Ormond, was up to in Ireland before he was mysteriously struck down.
Cal, desperate, on the run, and dependent on the kindness of strangers, is following the trail of clues leading to the Ormond Singularity. Those he meets along the way will either help or hinder him. But will he solve the mystery before 31 December?
Or will the family curse claim another victim? The story-full of gripping, compelling elements-is huge! Gabrielle Lord's book series, Conspiracy , comprises 12 individual novels. How do you fit this much plot, this much character development, and this much action, into a part television series? Conspiracy harnesses the power of multiplatform to bring the many levels or layers of the story to viewers. Hoodlum Entertainment came on board with the goal of changing the way audiences relate to television as a storytelling medium.
Webisodes and additional content with unique storylines were created to tell more of the story. These were shot with the same cinematic production values as the television episodes and will be available across a variety of platforms online and via mobile phone.
What is the Ormond Singularity? Queen Elizabeth I's last will and testament contained a codicil known as the 'Ormond Singularity' granting the heirs of the Tenth Earl of Ormond a royal inheritance. The inheritance is made up of two parts.
The first is a right to lands and a title-the Earl of Ormond. The second part is a fortune in gold and jewels. The gold and jewels have been hidden for centuries; the Ormond Jewel and Riddle hold the clues to their location. Together they form a double key code; however, the curse of the Singularity has defeated everyone who has ever tried to solve the mystery.
About the Production In , Scholastic Australia published the first in a series of young adult novels written by award-winning author Gabrielle Lord-'Australia's first lady of crime'-based around a year in the life of year-oldCallum Ormond.
In the series, Conspiracy , Cal's father has just died in strange circumstances and Cal is warned that he will meet a similar fate unless he is able to solve a puzzling mystery dating back to Elizabethan times.
The books, released in monthly instalments, went on to sell in excess of , copies in Australia and New Zealand. The fast-paced action, the relatable young protagonist, the thrilling puzzle to be solved and the cliff-hanger at the end of each book kept young readers coming back for more. Linda Klejus, Executive Producer of Conspiracy , recognised the potential of Gabrielle's concept for television.
So I'd already commenced optioning the books before they were published.
