Movie Mates goes live

flipper01 — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:07:09 +0000

We just launched Movie Mates, a new weekly comedy show helping you work out which mate to take along on Orange Wednesdays. I won’t try to explain the whole thing, I’ll let Phil and Jacob do that in this first episode, they do a much better job than me. Here’s their take on Inception:

This is the fruit of nearly 9 month of concepting, casting, planning, writing, testing, building and a fair amount of pissing about making silly videos about films. It’s all turned out pretty nicely. If you like what you see, keep an eye on orange.co.uk/moviemates for weekly shows, blog posts and of course there is the obligatory twittering @ow_moviemates

Light Speed to Endor

Finally got round to doing some back-ups at the weekend and found this timelapse video we shot ages ago on a jolly ’round Romford. It’s been on Vimeo for a while but I don’t think we ever blogged it. So now we have – hooray! It’s got my favourite sound effects ever in it (play with headphones on, hit the full-screen button and press your nose to the screen for maximum enjoyment).

TV’s Chris Boardman

Today, we at Poke bid a fond farewell to TV’s Chris Boardman. During his year break from uni here at Poke we have worked him to within an inch of his life. Which is of course how all student placements should be handled. He’s heading back up north to finish his learnings (see: slacking). We dearly hope he graces our door again, so we can work him even harder. He’s responsible for the speedy development of the interactive map we created for the Design Museum and various other behind the scenes development breakthroughs. We put together this video installation down in the mess hall to honour the chap. See you soon Boarders!

The Sound of Orange RockCorps

I made a little video thingy. It sits on the side of a taxi cab which is actually a mobile photo booth/sound recorder for something called The Sound of Orange Rockcorps. What these photos and sounds are going to be used for is ~~a bit secret, and we’re still working on it~~ a surprise!

There’s more information on the Orange RockCorps blog.

Camelids Ballroom Adventure

In responce to the Ideas Brothers’ mood film I’ve made my own. It’s about that time where you sit back and wonder at the glorious ballet between the two members of the Camelid family; the Camel and the Llama, and the adventures those little tykes get up to.

Sine Language

flipper02 — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:08:22 +0000

We’ve made a music video for our dear pal’s band, On Rails. Its called Sine Language and is to be screened as part of the Geek Pop Festival. The track is made of pure tonal themes, so Oli (one part of On Rails) got his mitts on an old skool valve oscilloscope to visualise the track in a damn fine old skool geeky way. Geek Pop starts today, so head over to see what’s happening.

Give it a spin

My first piece of work at Poke (yay we’re at Poke!) is about to close. It’s the last day to play with Topshop’s Christmas Zeotrope. It was a hell of an after effects job, but working tightly with the developers and illustrator helped make this little thing come to life. 90,000 plays so far, be great to hit that 100k level by midnight tonight. Go on, you could win some spangly belts!

28 Days video, done

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 editing the beast took a lot longer than we’d though, but here it is, all done, and in glorious HD (well, Vimeo HD, which is kind of glorious).

Flippers @ Home

flipper01 — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 09:23:28 +0000

Flippers @ Home from flippers on Vimeo.
So, Hallybones got an invite to the Playstation Home Beta and we didn’t. He sent us a video of him enjoying his empty Home Apartment. It was late, we were tired and very jet lagged (we’re back in the UK now), so I built a quick Snorri Cam out of a boom mike pole, a big hook I found in the garden and some wire, and attached my mobile phone to it. We then made this film to send him of us enjoying our Home. I know, like I say, we were tired.

Lightspeed to Endor /Romford

flipper02 — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 09:04:25 +0000

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 bike.
