The Bedlam All Girl Pillow Fight Revue

The backstory to this is that Sarah and Jonathan were looking to pro-actively expand their reel, so they commissioned my good friend and frequent collaborator Mark to film two scenes for them. One scene was chosen from Sex & the City and the other was to be an original.
Knowing about the other scene, I tried to do something in a similar vein when Mark asked me to take on the writing duties.
As this isn’t being submitted to any festivals or anything, Mark went with some quality Belle & Sebastian music for the soundtrack.
This gives me pleasure. (Original photo by moi)
Tweaked in Photoshop CS5 and the “moi” is me, of course.

Separating the Manboys from the Manborgs
Click the link above for a review I wrote of the pulp film Manborg for soundonsight.org as part of their coverage of the 2011 Toronto After Dark film festival.
As an exercise in Illustrator I drew up this poster for In a Handful of Minutes, trying to include the iconic elements of the show (Vest, pocket watch, brown dress shirt w/pale blue tie and Umbra BT font) while loosely aping the style of Ikko Tanaka - particularly this piece.
Using prosumer grade equipment in my own home, I began producing this weekly tongue-in-cheek review show just over three years ago to create a multi-disciplinary learning environment for myself.
Web series are a nexus of so many useful talents. Writing, video editing, graphic design, conducting interviews, copyright law, presenting, web design, online community management, e-commerce and even producing are all areas I’ve become more experienced with while making this show.
For most of the show’s run it was done in front of a greenscreen in a more formal and graphic intensive style, but recently we’ve switched to more intimate, pared down presentation.

A title card for a longer video I was commissioned to do for a guy who likes to run roleplaying games with A/V to aid him. The “Get Ready” is a placeholder for the main content.
Music featured: “Silence” by Portishead, which I don’t have the rights to nor any desire to try and make money from.
