Woah, it’s a bit odd to see your own work pop-up in your rss reader but that just happened. That film we helped out on a few months back, Waiting for Gorgo, with a bit of good ol’ graphic design and some set building has been getting some geeks all excited it seems.

28 Days – HD from flippers on Vimeo.
So we’re off to buy some trendy hats and jeans that look like dad’s worn them to paint the kitchen ceiling – that’s right folks, we’ve directed a music video, so we’re cool now. We shot it ages ago, since then we sodded off to the states, and [...]

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.

Nathan McLaughlin (a lovely special effects make-up guy working on our little movie this weekend) sent us these images of the finished clay sculpt of an 80 year old Neil Edmond (our lead actor). The boy done good me thinks. Very good maybe? He’s right now making a silicon do-hickey thing from this mold that [...]
