Shooting ‘All the Time in the World’


Well we did it, and it wasn’t that painful at all. 24 hours of shooting in 2 days, about 300 cups of tea (plus the relevant cakes) and the help of some lovely people (no, really, they were lovely) we done shot a lil’ a movie in our garage. It went pretty much to plan, with still enough room to improvise a few shots here and there.

‘Nuff respec big up shout out thanks go to the cast and crew, they really did a bang up job and bought so much more to the project. Here’s a quick name check:

  • Neil Edmond, male lead – This is the second time we’ve locked you in our garage, this time it was for 2 days, one day we’ll get you a key cut.
  • Rosemary Smith, female lead – You had to deal with between 1 and 5 directors, thank you for not hitting us.
  • Colin Butler, director of photography – man you’ve got some sweet kit.
  • Paul Parsons, sound – sorry about the flight path.
  • Nathan McLaughlin, make-up FX – dude, that looked so good.
  • Kyle, grip – I say ‘grip’ but you cheerfully did all sorts, cheers fella.

Many photos of the shoot are here

ooo haven’t you grown?

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 he then has to punch a gazilion holes in it to hand place each and every hair, which an 80 year old’s face is not too short of.

Head cast

We’re directing a short film written by Richard Johnson called ‘All the Time in the World’. We shoot it in a few weeks and today we sent our star (Neil Edmond) off to Brighton to have our make-up special effects guy (Nathan) pour goo all over his pretty head to make a full head cast. How cool is that? Proper ‘Makings of Thriller‘ stuff.

Meanwhile you can see Neil in Contains Violence (until 10th May) which we’ll be checking out next tuesday, see you there.

Zombie Attack

We had a bit of an issue the other day with a horde of angry Zombies in the city, we had to fight our way through the brain thirsty losers and find our way to the helipad. Which was fun. We did all this with the aid of the board game cryptically named ‘ZOMBIES!!!‘ in our garage which we themed as a zombie strong hold for the night. This is the kind of thing everyone does on a Saturday night yeah? ok, we’re cool then.

Here’s the photographic evidence

Dinosaur Delights


Found this old bit of footage from a holiday video we shot in Cabazon, California back in 2002. Must go back soon – even the name ‘Cabazon’ sounds cool. mmmm Cabazon…

For anybody that cares: They used this place for that scene in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure when he watches the sun set from the T-Rex’s mouth. If any of you have not seen the movie then get the hell out of our damn blog and don’t come back until you can do the tequila dance in its entirety.
