The fun begins

Now the dust has settled, the cameras have been returned, the plates have been washed up… we begin the editing. So far, all going really well. The very rough edit seems to hold together. This movie making gig is a lark. Also, it’s first real test of our new rig. It’s almost as powerful as the computer in Superman III. That glowing blue light behind G is the power supply. It’s pimp.

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

Our Dad’s dreams are not normal

Was asked to create a 20 second slide as part of a Peka Kucha presentation on the theme of inspiration. Our Dad has the most crazy dreams. They normal continue each night and often feature the same characters. The most infamous of these is Big Mouse. Lately, they’re become friends and team up against Big Chicken who is painting everything he sees. Wish my dreams were half are good as his.

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.
