October 23rd - It's been a while...

So, Hey...

Everything has been a little bit the wrong side of crazy these last 10 days, but we are now able to tell everyone what we have actually been up to:

Anyone who has been watching the news in the UK recently will have heard of the 'Artists taking the Lead' programme run by the Arts Council of England. In a nutshell - the Council have awarded a grant to an artist from each of the 12 UK regions, commissioning them to produce a piece of work for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

We were tasked with travelling the country - shooting a film in each region to broadcast quality. And an interview with the head of the project. And a five minute summary film to be shown at a press conference infront of the Secretary of State...

And we had exactly 9 days to produce these 14 films, including shooting, editing, vfx, grading etc. ..

On the 10th day (yesterday) there was a press conference, with a simultaneous web-release of the films. To our surprise, the films were also shown extensively in regional and national broadcasts across BBC, ITV and C4 ;)

You can check out the films on the Artists Taking the Lead website or see below for the 5 minute summary:

More daily updates this week - building up to the last ZOMBLIES film shoot next weekend! Exciting times - we have a lot to catch up on, designing new lighting setups, graphics interfaces for the prop pc equipment, costumes, props and more!

Stay tuned!
