How does Lilley play the twins?


I'm from the US and loved Summer Heights High. I just ordered We Can Be Heroes from Australia because I have no idea if it'll be released here. I was wondering how Lilley plays the twins in WCBH? Do they just never have scenes together??

IT's the old standard combination of clever editing and using stand ins - filming over the shoulder of the other 'twin' while Chris is playing the one directly on screen.

There's a couple of moments when they appear on screen together and its fairly obvious they used split screen/green screen.

Hope you enjoy it; I'm still a little unsure as to whether I preferred SHH or this. Possibly SHH just has the edge but this is still so much better than 99% of 'comedy' output.

Without getting into spoilers, for me the twins' have one of the more intersting relationships in the series. Just like Jonah in SHH, Lilley seems to have a knack for tapping into the mindset of teens, and all their weird quirks and behaviours.

You'll love it. Come back to the board and let us all know what you think when you've seen it!

It ran on Sundance Channel by the name, "The Nominees" about 3 or so years ago. You will love it.
