The Future Publishing/ Sony PS3 HD video project that I’ve been working as video editor on for the last 12 months was officially announced this morning.

The High Definition digital ‘magazine’ will be a weekly download via the PlayStation Store direct to PS3 console. As well as eye blistering editorialised HD video, each issue will offer voiced screenshot galleries, user generated content and exclusive downloads. It’s been described as a hybrid of tv and magazine journalism. We absolutely love putting the content together and are sure it will be well received.

Have a visit here to see the official launch promo which I worked on and to find out more via a walkthrough video.

More on this very soon.

It’s been a while in the coming so lap it up, slurp it down and enjoy the craziness that is ‘That Just About Does It’. The video was filmed on HD video using a miniature ’set’ about the size of a shoe box.

Portable Festival


Sunday, February 22, 2009

Geesh.. that was a cold snap. Thankfully it appears that Spring may finally be lurking just around the corner…

Having braved the elements on a very long and cold day back in March last year to film ‘the time machine’ timelapse super8 video, it’s rewarding to see the reception that it’s been getting at festivals and screenings around the world.

From Monday 24th Feb ‘09, the film will be taking centre stage at the
Portable Film Festival stop-motion showcase. Be sure to check it out by clicking the link/ image. From here you will be able to view and download to a variety of ‘Portable’ formats such as ipod, PSP, iphone etc.

I’m making the last few tweaks to my new animated music video for ‘Zoon van snooK’ which will be live online in the next couple of days. In the mean time be sure to have a listen to Zoon’s fantastic remix for the new ‘Fujiya & Miyagi’ single. Click here to listen.

It’s been a few weeks since the last posting, but that’s not to say that I haven’t beem busy. Visits to Mexico and California last month were immensly inspiring and absolutely stocked up the vh-archive of footage to be working with. Expect some to sneak it’s way into my latest music video project for Bristolian electronic wizard of glitch Zoon Van Snook.

Kristy Thomley from the excellent two if by see creative bloq has written some very kind words about the the time machine video. Don’t simply take my word for it.. have a look for yourself here. It’s a great blog that’s updated regularly.

I’ve also recently found out that the time machine video has been selected to screen at HDfest.com’s January music video festival in L.A. Rory and I had better start saving pennies for the plane..
Many thanks to Marisa Cohen for all the support from HDfest.

‘the adventures of robo-tron’

Here’s a short timelapse video of an illustration I’ve been working on. It’s a concept sketch for a potential future animation. ‘the adventures of robo-tron’ or something similar.
Just a bit of fun a present, should evolve into something with motion. I’m hoping that Dan Benson will pen the words.
