Fangoria ’07 – The Movie


Ok, we’ve finally gone and done it, and finished the video of last year’s Fangoria. It’s all a bit swanky and shot in hi-def (I know, I can’t think of a reason why we did that either, other than ‘why not?’), so don’t get scared if it asks you to update your flash player just update the damn thing, welcome to the future. Click this shiny link to view it.

The Boob slipped strangely effortlessly into character, and did such an amazing job he get’s his own special cut, behold: The Boober real

Unto Others – finished and in the wild

It’s been online for a few days now but for some reason I’ve only just got round to blogging about it. ‘Unto Others’ is our entry into BAFTA’s 60 seconds of fame competition, and it’s online and ready for you to give it a 5 star rating right now! Hurray!

Right now it’s just voting for fun, your votes will really count once BAFTA have chosen 5 finalists from each region, so check back after 28th of Jan and see who gets through.

Of course massive thanks to everyone involved, we never thought it would turn anything near as ‘pro’ as it did.

Thanks as well to Oli Freke of Cassette Electrik fame, for not only composing the theme music for us, but also putting a link on his band’s mySpace site and getting us loads of lovely votes.

And thanks also go to OhSkyLab, or Paul, or whatever he calls himself now-a-days for linking us up on Anglepoised.

So far the film’s going down really well and we’re getting loads of positive votes and comments, stay tuned and we’ll let you know if we get through to the next round.

I already asked you to go vote for it right?

We Made a Snorri Cam!

We’re shooting a short film of this year’s Fangoria show, and we thought we’d have a bash at building a Snorri Cam rig from bits we have lying about. We slug a tool belt on the Boob, whacked a couple of legs from a tripod in the pockets, tied a length of webbing around his back to each leg, screwed a camera on the top with a wide angle lens… and that was it, it works and everything.

ok, “what’s a Snorri Cam?”, well it’s when you rig a camera to the actors body so it appears to float in front of them, pointing back at the actor. Some say it was invented by Icelandic photographers/film makers, the Snorri Brothers (you see what they did there with the name?). It was used a lot in Requiem for a Dream which is of course an awesome film.

Here’s some more shorts of our rig in action. Stay tuned for the final film.

Cassette Electrik Visuals

We’ve done lots of gig visuals for a friend’s techno dance band. We’ve built our own gig visual software in flash to drive the show, and we design, animate all the visuals from scratch, bespoke for each track.
