I did say when I came to relaunch this blog last month that it would also be an excuse to re-post some thing’s I’d made in the past.  This is one I was always particularly pleased with:

I made this in October 2006 soon after the new BBC One identities were launched.  The video was shot using my Sony Handycam in DV with the animation formed from several elements created and animated in Flash.  The BBC ONE logo was created in photoshop and the whole thing assembled and edited along with the music (from a genuine BBC Ident) in Pinnacle Studio.

A few weeks late with this but once again The Middlemen assembled to take part in the Sci-Fi London 48 Hour film challenge.  The idea is to write, film, edit and all-together produce a 5 minute film in one weekend.  Each team is issued with a randomly selected title for their film along with a prop to use and a line of dialogue.  Our selection can be seen on the left.

This being our second year taking part certainly helped.  This time we managed to include music and far more in the way of special effects.  I’m particularly pleased we managed to get some decent green-screen shots to work just using a DIY lamp I picked up at Class Ohlson to light it and a lot of patience.

Then last weekend we assembled again to take part in the screenings at the Apollo Cinema, Lower Regent Street.  It’s always a thrill to see yourself and your name on the big screen.  The other audience members seemed to laugh in all the right places too.
