I have experience in working with programs such as Pro Tools, Premiere and Final Cut Pro, and I competent with editing.

11 Hours of AfterFX

Me and Louis G had a hardcore session on AfterFx, playing with the footage creating some menacing looking imagery.

Tats and Hypnotise, you know, Tatnotised.

Pab did a tattoo for Ryan in the front room. It was worrying.

I dont mind visual culture sometimes.

Using a camera as though it was under psychosis this film alters frames from positive to negative, but leaves the narrative intact.

Em Pee See

Takes him a minute to get in the zone but gets better as it goes on. Fresh.




...some guy having a chilled cut session, unfortunately he doesn't have any trousers on. I dont know why either. It all about his bongo skills.

Abandoned Britain

I have been researching abandoned buildings across England so I can take some photos of my own to use in my animation project. Cane Hill is an abandoned mental asylum. Speaks for itself.

Wonderful Days/Blue Sky

A Korean animation using cell animation in combination with a miniature set. Looks stunning.

"I keep him in a ten foot cage with a typewriter"

This is amazing. Tom Waits reading a poem by Charles Bukowski. If you dont know who either of these people are, iv also posted a taste of both. Two great linguists, im so glad this happened!

TickaTickaCrackDaDumDumCrack

Heres a playlist I made on youtube a while ago. It's just a load of tunes people have sampled breaks from. Most have been sampled more than once, see how many you know.

Notorious BIGFOOT

Some Bigfoot stuff. He loves it. Check his website at www.bigfootone.com, loads of really clean prints and graphics. Found him through the Ipath website, glad I did!

Model Motions

Think I found this through Ella. Cheers Ella! An awesome film by Jiri Trnka. Banned by the Czech government, the film is a terrifically told tale of totalitarianism. Mouthfull much?

New Media If I Ever Saw It.

This is crazy, would be great to come up with something similar.

Fuck That Girl, Fuck That Place, Im Never Going There Again.

A couple of pictures and a couple of quotes from neckface, one of my favourite artsits not just for the art but for the mentality of the guy!




"For me I wanna' make people laugh, you know i want the person whos like just bummed out like 'Fuck that girl, fuck this place, i'm never going there again' the persons just so bummed out right, and then he sees like my thing on the streets that says 'neckface beat your kids' and if i bring a smile to that guy whos been bummed out the whole day or the whole week then thats like ya' know i'm psyched"

"I get the watercolours and I just fuck it up. Mess it up and make this fucked up guy here. Taking the watercolours and making a mess out of them"
