What soldiers look like before, during and after war
Casey Chan -
Photographer Claire Felicie’s Marked project shows the faces of soldiers before, during and after war. The differences are slight but undeniable. Skin is weathered, wrinkles are deeper and eyes are sadder. See for yourself.

Geek dump...
Ok just a couple of 'geek' to get off my chest.
First, the first poster for 'Prometheus'
not sure I'm 100% happy about the 3D Mr Scott...
And the new logo for the 100th anniversary of Paramount Pictures, pretty.

'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' World Premier.
So last night we were lucky enough to go to the world premier of David Fincher's latest flick TGWTDT. So, was it any good? Well I'd say yes and no.
The cast is great, well acted and of course the story is stand out, but as I suspected before sitting down and chomping on my complementary green and blacks, this movie didn't need to be made. The original Swedish version was grittier, darker and had a more authentic feel, I think partly because James Bond wasn't playing the lead character.
If I hadn't already seen the original I would be screaming this films praises, but alas I can't. Great job Fincher.

Spinn Christmas party 2011...
Another year another chrimbo outing. This year we kicked of the festivities with a spot of graffiti art around Borough Market, followed by a special showing of that Christmas classic 'Trading Places'. After which we indulged at an Afr'mex'ital'span'glish restaurant who's speciality was Apple and pineapple crumble made with salt instead of sugar.
After we had washed the taste of the sea from our mouths we were treated to an amazing performance at the Camden Round House...
...A splendid time had by all.

Monstah Monstah!
An artist has taken children's drawings and painted them as if they were real. Great idea.

Have you ever noticed...
...Terry Wogan's ears?
They are quite possibly the longest ears I have ever seen. Not to be confused by the largest ears in the world, these bad boys grow from below the jaw line up to the top of his head. No one has ever taken an accurate reading due to the peaks being obscured by thick head hair in some kind of sideways comb over, a comb around if you will.
I say unleash the beasts Tezz'ah, let them be free!

Love the packaging on these M&S teas, purrdy.

You can run...
...but you can't hide the fact you fucked up the ending.
The fact Harry was himself a 'Horcrux' should have been something we find out at the end. It should of ended with him sacrificing himself.
Oh, sorry that this conversation is about 5 years stagnant, but 'I ain't no reedah!'

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...
Our GWTDT work is about to hit next week. As we missed this when it was released I thought we should all take a moment and enjoy the best trailer of the year as voted by me.
May the force be roughly sketched out...
Some beautiful and insightful storyboards from Star Wars V... Loverly!
Thanks BLASTR

What have we been up to?
Since we were last on here we have produced some cracking stuff for Sony Pictures, some pretty things for beachcomber and a few new bits and bobs for our book.
And we're back!
Well its been a rather shitty 2011, few ups and many downs. Hence the lack of posting recently...
We're fast approaching 2012, a new year and a new start. So with that in mind heres a picture of the pope juggling cats. Enjoy!

Walk on the right please...
Using technology and the human eye to organise the disorganised... great stuff.
So you think you're 18?
We think this is an especially brilliant way around the crap 'Enter your date of birth' to access certain sites, which - let's face it - won't deter anyone over 5 who can do a little basic arithmetic.
I want that pickle...

Thanks for the reminder Dulux...
There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road, that's where I'll always be.
Every stop I make, I make a new friend,
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
Down this road that never seems to end,
Where new adventure lies just around the bend.
So if you want to join me for a while,
Just grab your hat, come travel light, that's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow I'll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home.
So if you want to join me for a while,

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
There's a world that's waiting to unfold,
A brand new tale no-one has ever told.
We've journeyed far far and know it wont be long;
We're almost there, and we've paid our fare with our hobo song.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
So if you want to join me for a while,
Just grab your hat, come travel light, that's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I call home, Until tomorrow, you know I'm free
Where's your Sparkle and Spin?
Call me nostalgic but vintage children's books have always held a special magic and charm for me, taking me back to my own childhood spent immersed in beautifully-illustrated books (which were the norm rather than the an exceptional award winner like these days.)
Ann and Paul Rand's "Sparkle and Spin" is bold and eye-catching, different from the highly detailed illustrations I was used to. Still, I would have loved this. It's from 1957 yet it's timelessly wonderful, like all the best children's books.

Sneakerpedia by Footlocker
Cool idea for Footlocker ('enthusiasm beyond reason') from Sapient Nitro. Boys love sneakers to the point of obsession, and the Sneakerpedia taps into that collective consciousness of geekdom. Details of trainers are uploaded, complete with pics of the shoes in their original boxes, and tagged according to brand, colour, material and year. Now sneakerheads can show off their precious collections to the world.

Moving, graphic, darkly funny, Samantha Kittle's blog is the story, not of an illness, but of a woman who refuses to be defined by one.

Google Chrome music video...
Really nice idea, not sure on the tech details but if i had to guess i would say there is a hefty computer city living up in the clouds driving this one. The ending is ace!

You have to open with Chrome, those crafty buggars.
We were in cyber jail...
For some reason we haven't been able to log in to our blog account for the past two weeks... but what ever it was stopping us seems to have been barged out the way.

Tube twat #3...
21 April / 08.34am / Northern Line
Today I got farted on. By a complete stranger. It got blasted through the gap between the glass partition at the end of the front row of seats. It happened three stops after I got a seat at Clapham North (a rare occurrence which had lulled me into a false sense of security.) A man (of Mediterranean descent?) got on, leaned against the glass and let one off. It was a grade 3 S.B.V.
What can you do?
I trod on his toe and stared at him on the way out at London Bridge.

Innocent Movie Competition...
And here it is.
Not exactly how we'd hope it had gone but not bad for a first attempt... fingers crossed.

Nokia N8 short film competition...
http://mynokiablog.com/2011/03/28/10000-prize-with-nokia-shorts-2011-from-nokia-and-vimeo/
An idea I've been play around with... hopefully I can get something sorted for the end of the week... We'll see?
The Big Day
The Bride - Open on a woman awaking from a deep sleep. She is laying in a chrisp queen sized bed, floral sheets. The sun gently peeking through the thick lush curtains, reflecting off the mahogany sideboard.
The Man – Cut to a man waking from a restless sleep in a dirt brown hotel room. Shot from above as the rooms ceiling fan spins and wobbles as if it will fall at any moment. The man is entangled in the dirty grey, thin bed sheets, his eyes stained red. A blinding sunlight hitting him full in the face.
The Bride - Cut to the woman, showering behind a glass screen, the brilliant white room filling with steam.
The Man – enters a a dark side room just off the bedroom. Hew walks toward the camera/mirror and pulls the cord. A dirty yellow light reluctantly flickers on, the tiled room hasn’t been cleaned in a very long time, the once white towel left in a ball on the floor. The unshaven man shares into the camera/mirror as we see a out of focus, naked woman get up from the bed in the other room.
The Bride – sitting at her dresser, hair pulled up in a towel, dressing gown, legs crossed. A team of women going to work on her nails and make up as another gets changed into a peach bridesmaid dress.
The Man – half dressed in a black suit, sitting on the bed tying his laces. Three other men, dressed in black suits, surround him. One paying the now clothed woman/hooker at the door. Another styling his hair in the mirror, the last walks up to The Man, pats him on the shoulder.
The Bride – Dressed in a white floral meringue wedding dress. She waits at the bottom of a large wooden staircase next to a large white wooden door, bouquet of flowers in hand. An older man/father walks into the hallway and kisses her on the cheek. The doorbell rings…
The Man – Shot from high above/cherry picker. A old 70’s black Mercedes pulls up outside a set of large stairs leading up to a white pillared building.
Cut to interior of the car, looking through the windscreen at The Man in the passenger seat with the 3 men from the room with him. The driver looks at his watch.
The Driver – “It’s not too late to back out ya’know.”
The Bride – interior, the back seats of a limo. The Bride staring out of the window as her bridesmaids shuffle and re-adjust their dresses.
The Man – He catches a glimpse of the limo in the cars left wing mirror.
The film slows as the two cars pass each other. The Man makes eye contact with The Bride as the camera cuts behind her shoulder. They share a moment. The car passes. The Man watches as the rear lights of the limo fade into the distance.
Camera returns to the interior shot of the car. We see all four occupants.
The driver checks his watch once more and leans over toward the rear seats.
Camera moves to the parcel shelf looking toward the front of the car. The two men’s heads creating a silhouette, The Driver in between.
The Driver – “Ok, You guys good to go? Lets do this.”
Camera returns to the interior shot of the car. We see all four occupants.
All four men reach between there knees and pull on balaclavas.
The Man pulls the slide of his pistol, cocks it. The two men in the back seats reach down and pull up sown off shotguns.
The Man and the two rear passengers get out of the car, closing the doors behind them, rocking it from side to side.
The Driver sits there in silence, drumming his fingers in the steering wheel. He reaches down to turn on the radio. Twists the knob.
Cut to black as the credits roll, music plays through the radio…
…Credits end as we hear the car start up. A car door opens and someone jumps in, scrambling across the back seats.
Passenger – GO, GO for fucks sake go…Fuck… FUCK!
UPDATE... Well I missed the deadline for this year. Too busy finishing off innocent... oh well, next year.

Lights. Camera. Action...
Busy busy busy... Ive been dusting off the directors chair, creating a 30 ad for this Innocent competitionhttp://www.youtube.com/innocentdrinksltd
Hopefully Ill get it finished on time and give you a look soon.
Since working on this iinocent thing ive noticed that you just cant get the shot you want from standard handheld cameras, and then if you want to move up to professional equipment itll set you back 15K... OWCH!
Then someone at work asked me if id seen any DSLR footage. What I asked? then he blew my mind...
http://www.reelseo.com/hd-video-dslr-camera/
Now I need this set up, a lot of money but still a whole lot cheaper than a 'professional' setup.
A hobby for now, but who knows...
