A New Showreel

Well, a little new. A couple edits.

Show Time (Sort of)

And so the fun and exhaustion of preparing and putting together our Graduation Show has begun, and has been "begun" for about two weeks or so now. Full-on days of painting, planning and light-arguing.

Well, if you're not arguing you're not making good decisions. 

More to come as posters are hung and sets are finalised.

Poster Boy

The lovely and slightly nasty poster for my BA short animated film "Flytrap" that will be shown as part of the Graduation Shows of LCC (London College of Communication) from June 20th.

Preparation for which has already begun in earnest with only a week or so to go. Tense stuff, lots of discussion, lots of creative differences, but that's what to expect from a collaborative show. All have different visions and all are relevant. 

The poster was originally in my head an homage to the gloriously lurid and campy adverts for the classic Hammer House of Horror franchise from the 50s, 60s and 70s but then as the subject of posters began to get discussed more and more, the idea of going for a more subtle and simple poster seemed more effective and so I opted for a more subdued design based on the title card of the film.

This was made quickly and at short notice by the brilliant Natalie Tood who previously saved my bacon by making the portraits that feature in the film.

In the next week or so I shall edit together a small trailer for the film that I shall post about.

So more to come....
