This is

Another new film. This one was actually finished before “Where’d the Cheese Go?” but I had to keep it super secret until the closing date of the Brickfilms Words of Wisdom competition. It features Mike, Geoff and Rod from “Out of Time” in a calmer, more measured film.

Words of Wisdom

It took far longer than I ever imagined it would, but I finally got OOT finished. It took the best part of a month to record the voices, do the animation and edit the whole thing together. Check it out here.

The Christmas message is done, but it’s only a fraction of what I’d intended to put in it. When it gets to midday on the last day of production and you’re still finishing the first minute’s shots, you have to bite the bullet and start thinking of ways to cut it down a little.

The lesson we’ve learned in the last few days is that the run-up to Christmas is not the best time to assign yourself a mammoth stop-motion animation project. I’m not particularly happy with it, but at least I got it out before Christmas day.

OK, so I lied. My first proper film has a name now - “Out of Time” (OOT for short). You can download the trailer now by clicking the picture above. Please note that this trailer is completely made up, doesn’t really tell you much about the story and contains no actual footage from the film. Enjoy.

The music at the end is from “Jesus Built My Hotrod” by Ministry, fact fans.

A couple of “publicity” stills from my current project. I’m not going to hype it any more than this until it’s finished, so make the most of it.

A scientific looking prop - whatever can it be?
