2009-06-18T02:38:00.000-07:00

I have finished the low-fi, budgetless viral for The Insider Festival. It's got some fairly decent response and has spread fairly well via youtube etc.

Here it is...

New Happenings...

Last week I was up in Aviemore filming for a viral. In the process many a mishap happened. We were fortunate only to lose a symbol and stand and not a human life.

Editing of the footage starts in earnest today. I'll keep you posted.

Piggin' Flu...

2009-04-29T00:55:00.000-07:00

With the news that the UK was ordering 30 000 000 face masks for the swine flu pandemic, I thought there might have been a niche in the market for some designer ones... Unfortunately someone is ahead of the game.

I'm sure with a little work there is something to be done with this!

Nice video...

2009-04-20T05:27:00.000-07:00

Painting Pictures with Words

2009-02-09T00:55:00.000-08:00

I'm kinda used to making visual pictures but here is my friend Billy (the poet) aka William Lettford painting pictures with words on BBC Scotland. It's one of his short stories, preformed by Billy too. It's pretty awesome, it starts at around 1 min 45 secs in.
