Recently did a video for a charity and amongst the footage we shot (we meaning and my wife) there was me pretending to pee on a neighbours car. Simple enough to do – just a water bottle and holding the camera at the right angle.
Today I’m meant to be working on something else, but procrastination is a dreadful thing and I found myself making a donk about weeing on cars. Sorry, it won’t happen again.
EDIT: Ooh, there’s been requests for MP3s. Firstly someone wants it as a ringtone, and secondly someone else asked for an acapella for remixing. How exciting.
UPDATE: Spam Master Dave writes, “I made a remix. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as i enjoyed producing it”. And here it is.
Huzzah – we’ve produced another book for E4. This one on the bestest ever computer game characters. I personally love Manic Miner so this is the cover I proposed, Jody the chappy who commissioned the work prefers Street Fighter so that’s the version on the E4 site.
I hope you like the little jokes we wrote at the bottom of each page.
As the previous booklet went down well with E4 (it cost them pennies and produced a reasonable amount of traffic), they commissioned another.
This one has got a MUCH better cover as it features Sean Connery in thigh-boots AND makes clearer the range of content within the pages.
Of course you’ll completely disagree with the films we’ve chosen, but that’s the point of lists isn’t it? Or at least my wife, a TV list show producer says so. She also made us stick in Peter’s Friends.
* Visually – our most ambitious stop-motion to date.
* Produced on the edge of my desk – as the photo should make clearer
* The wooden sets? They’re offcuts from Angus’s shed
* Mostly referencing Indiana Jones, although I confess the Boosh shot is obviously Star Wars
* We flmed this thing 2 times, losing the first version in the Great Hard Disk Crash of 2008
We (me and Dave) have been doing a lot of work for JibJab recently – found it quite an education attempting to quickly bash out songs and videos using different styles. It’s certainly improved our chops.
I love you more than…
Video written via visiting Woolworths and looking for props. Aha! Some own-brand post-it notes for less than £1. The original punch-line, “I love you more than Amy Winehouse loves drugs” still amuses me.
Thank God It’s Friday
In my head this is an Emo version of the Friends theme. What I most remember about the video was walking round shops in Camden looking for a cheap diary.
My Master Fancies You
BTW: We also did a ‘fan edit’ of this using Kraftwerk’s The Robot but we can’t stick that online as Kraftwerk aren’t actually the client.
Hurty Blister
Notable for its Windows Vista bashing, born from irritation at Joel Veitch spending £££ on a dell machine that didn’t work properly.
You Rock
One of the few we bought props for. Spent about £7 on cheese. My son likes the messiness of this and shouts “urgh!” when we play it.
Hello peeps, here’s a bunch of stuff we did recently. Lovely Dave helped.
Scroll Wheel Cheese – inspecting the crud in my mouse. 48k Celebrity Awards – looking at spectrumy pixel art. BTW: I drew Clive myself – such talent. Coin Stack Challenge – I’ve got a jar of change, we had a little game to see who’d make the biggest tower. Oooh the thrills! 2 cups 1 bag – a complaint that everyone should use less teabags.
RIP ROB MANUEL. I'll be taking kittens to his funeral. I love his Weebl & Bob stuff #riprobmanuel7 hours ago
I so don't trust the trending list these days that I see "RIP Eddie Murphy" and I assume someone has written a dickheady tweet and he's fine 7 hours ago
