Very quick and dirty

Seemed funnier in my head. Audio is pretty shit but hey… I guess it gets the point across…

Oh and apparently the M&S spoof I made a while back is going to be featured in a women’s magazine. “Scarlet is packed with sexy semi-naked men, true confessions, forthright sex articles, lingerie to lust over and erotic literature”. I’ve always wanted to talk dirty to thousands of frustrated housewives.

We now have a video. Spent a few hours making this.

Youtube has fucked the quality of it.

Oh well.

Lyrical genius

It’s fucking hardcore
You go around killing
with a big ass sword

Lyrical genius from Henry and myself. No really. Well ok, maybe not quite genius (or even close), but people seem to like it; sent off the final piece on Monday, and the feedback was positive. I have a feeling that it’s a bit too much like a trailer of the game rather than a viral send-to-your-friends type video but hey, it was a laugh to work on.

Talking of (this time actual) lyrical genius, Frank Turner’s “Sleep is for the Week” is fucking awesome. First album I’ve listened to in ages where I ended up stopping doing anything else just to listen carefully to the lyrics. The music is excellent, but it’s almost overshadowed by the stories Frank tells.

Once we were anarchists

Because I’m young enough to be all pissed off
But I’m old enough to be jaded
I’m at the age where I want things to change
But with age my hopes have faded
I’m young and bored of being young and bored
If I was old I could say I’d seen it all before
In short; I’m tired of giving a shit.

Hmmmm…

God of War 2Rob Manuel from B3ta.com phoned me up half an hour ago to see if I was interested in working on a web video viral for a new Sony computer game thats being promoted by a well known viral agency.

There’s no guarantee they’ll use my work, but I get paid regardless, and it’s a nice change from the typical brochure type website that I’m usually working on.

To be honest I’m kinda happy just to be asked to work on this, as I guess it means the odd person must kinda like the videos I’ve made up to now. Had about 60,000 views so far, but in internet terms that doesn’t really count for much.

Anyway, if nowt else it’s a few quid for messing about with some video clips.

Oh and I’ve just noticed my tooth has been slightly chipped from the events of the post below.
