SMASH PROP

This is a smash prop panel made for Ian Cottage's short film KEEL.It was made from part of an old boat and painted to match the original boat hull.A photo of the original boat can be seen at the bottom of the picture for us to use as reference.
In the end this prop wasn't used as the actors smashed up the real boat in the heat of the moment...

CLEVER GUTS


Enjoying listening to Beacons of Ancestorship by TORTOISE.It sounds like a blank eyed robot from the future is trying to recreate tv cop show themes from the seventies without ever having heard them.


ALONE

Many years ago the late great Dick Arnall showed me this film by Martin Arnold which monkeys around with the timeline of some found footage ( unlikely sequences from Mickey Rooney's early TV show The Andy Hardy Mysteries).

Huge amounts of weighted significance are implied by the slowing down and repetition of the sequence which was homaged in a recent music promo for Peter Bjorn and John.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbWemy7dwUE&feature=related
