Thought I’d mention today about some of the obstacles the lord has chosen to fling in our path. The glorious image above is a screen grab from our camera. As you can tell, it’s poorly. The trippy effect seemed to come and go in a seemingly random fashion. We tried keeping it at a constant [...]

Found ourselves in a scary place deep in Indiana. The image above, left is taken from inside a tomb in the grounds of a Carmelite Monastery. They happened to be having some kind of big to do, and the place was full of Polish people chanting and generally being scary. These were not our people. [...]

Today we met Mike Carmichael and his wife Glenda at their home in Alexandria, Indiana. Mike has been painting a baseball for the last 30 years, it is now the biggest ball of paint in the world with 21,201 coats of paint, and we got to paint coat number 21,201! Each coat is a different [...]

Here’s Joe. The Head Knight of the Knights of The Golden Trail. He runs the Chateau Laroche just outside Cincinnati in Loveland, Ohio. He inherited it from Harry Andrews when he died about 25 years ago. He and his knights keep the Chateau all ship shape and Bristol fashion for visitors to come and just [...]

Howdy folks, right now I’m sitting in a motel room somewhere in between West Virginia. We’ve begun our 3 week road trip across America to is talk to some of the people that build the roadside attractions that are dotted along the highways and freeways of this country. We filming and photographing the whole thing, [...]

The shoot for the film we were working on at Elstree Studios finished last weekend (we did the graphic design and helped with the set build), and we’ve just got all photos together of the final set build and shooting for you all to see. It all turned out looking quite splendid.
Enjoy

Another little test of the time-lapse controller. This time The Boob took us on a whirlwind tour from Collier Row, to Hainault then Romford and home. The dog track was kicking out in Romford, some slow traffic made for some good still moments in the time-lapse. Oh yeah, we were on a 3 seater speeder [...]

A quick low down and dirty test of the time-lapse controller for our SLR. Not the most awe inspiring clip, but I’m sure we’ll be gagging for a bit of grey sky when we finally limp into LA next month at the end of our USA road trip (more info on that to follow).

This morning we had a knock on the door (well, ring of the door bell, but you know what I mean) and Mr Postman handed us 2 jiffy bags with “Survival Kit” written on each (plus address and stamps and what have you). Inside we found these essential English food stuffs to keep us alive [...]

Spending this week at Elstree Studios working on the graphic design for a short film directed by a friend of hours. Involving a lot of hand painted Gill Sans. This is a very early shot of the set build after just a few hours.
