Negative Scanner

Have also acquired a negative scanner recently. Have trawled through some old negs and found a few from an Odd Shaped Head gig a few years back. Check them out here.

Go Pro

Bought a Go Pro camera. This is the first video.

Tyne Bridge Tower (The Late Shows)

Was able to get inside the Tyne Bridge Tower during the late shows. Have uploaded the best of the photographs I took onto my Flickr account. You can view them here.

Atrocity Exhibition

Uploaded part of my final university project to flickr. Took a long time to catalogue, clean and scan all the images. Working on putting them in a book. Not for publication, just because I can.

Anyway, take a look at it here.

Back in Business

Have just bought a new mac and the work is starting to catch up. Uploaded a set of images from my University course to my newly created Flickr account.

Check them out here or from the link on the sidebar.

Dangerous Days

A mood sketch from Dangerous Days which is a short film i've been working on and hope to shoot next.

Virgin Media Shorts

Well it may be a year late (having just missed the deadline last for last years competition) but the 2 minute cut of Puppet Stop Shuffle is now in competition at Virgin Media Shorts website.

Follow the link and give it your support here.

Long time since there's been an update, been working on a showreel in an attempt to sell my abilities around to local production houses. In the meantime though i've had time to put together this one-sheet for a friends film A L O N E which you can view here.
Otherwise shoot over to my deviantart page for some more recent doodles.

Trouble with time

Currently working through some issues with a new script before moving on to filming. Can't really talk much about plot details other than to say it's about time travel.
Work on it is slow though with the triple threat of Christmas, work and MW2. More soon.

Replicating

Work has ground to a halt thanks to MW2. This is the only vaguely creative thing i've done recently. Another site banner for The Replicator's blog.

The Replicator

Banner design for The Replicator website/blog run by a friend of mine. You can find the link to the site here or in the links section of this blog.

It's far out.

Stand-Up Guy

Finally found a use for the footage. Have had so many ideas of what to do with it without ever actually pulling my thumb out my ass and doing it. But here it is and it's all rather Gummo...

Which is fine with me.

From the archives...

Have been digging around in my camera draw and found some old tapes. Much of it unused and unedited like these pictures. Will finish editing them finally and upload soon... ish.

DVDs

Just finished putting together a mock version of the Puppet Stop Shuffle DVDs - they look better than I thought they would. Two different covers available but only producing a run of about 10 or 15.
The other cover looks the same but with the giant bear poster. Check out my deviant art for both posters.

Going Straight8

Jimbo has suggested we go for Straight8 again - details on competition here
Have been thinking of ideas. Will upload the storyboard soon. In the meantime, I'm gearing up to turn the above comic strip into an animated short. Just for the experience. Anyone who wants to offer help, drop me an email.

Thoughts on a postcard....

Bumper Update...

Both the Final Cut of Puppet Stop Shuffle and the remastered Fox Hole are finished and uploaded. Moving on to new projects (will detail later i'm sure). But for now, here they are:

Puppet stop Shuffle



and
Fox Hole

Update...

Remastered version of Fox Hole almost complete. All the sound has been redone and the sequence locked down. Just experimenting with the inclusion of the original voiceover or not. Looking back it may not be necessary. Thoughts on a postcard.

Have also discovered hidden away on an old DVD some very old video art from college. Will clean this up and upload too. Sadly no sound on it though.

Coming Soon..

A combined production between Bong Eyed Giraffe and Orca Productions. A cleaned up remastered version of Fox Hole directed by James Hudson. Remastered sound and remastered picture.

Watch the original below.

Puppet Stop Shuffle

This is the original 2 minute cut of my short film Puppet Stop Shuffle. It's a really pared down essentials only version of the film created for a competition.
It will be followed up with a longer version in the future.

Starting the blog

More of a test than anything else.
Just started a blog to update with new productions and work. Will post some video later.
