Following a rebrand, the guys at Channel Flip asked me to create a new animated ident. Here it is in action at the end of an episode of the excitingly popular David Mitchell’s Soapbox, which this week is in 3D! You’ll need to find some red/blue glasses, or make some out of some Quality Street wrappers.

We finished the trailer for New Light Stir a while ago, but needed to re-record the music as we didn’t get copyright clearance. We’re not planning to upload the full film online for a while as we’re submitting it to festivals who are way less likely to show your film if it’s already in the public domain. So this’ll have to do you for now.

The Trailer coming soon to a video hosting service near you…

Mike’s sorted out actors, locations, props, wardrobe and direction, while I’ve been in charge of crew, cinematography, lighting, sound etc.

It’s been the most technically challenging live-action piece I’ve worked on to date and I’ve learnt loads along the way. At the last count there were 38 people who had contributed towards the film,  giving up their time for free and generally being fantastic.

We’re pretty close to finished with the edit, with one last scene to shoot in two weeks’ time. I’m getting that familiar feeling, where you can’t view the piece for what it is, because all you can see are the little mistakes you can’t correct or ideas you had too late. But I still really, really like the way it’s looking.

And so, this, my new website (about time too). I need a new job in the big smoke, and a new online home on which to strut my stuff. After much consideration I decided WordPress is still where it’s at. I could start building a new site from scratch but that seems a bit daft these days.

More soon.

I’ll maybe post a best-of compilation up here soon.
