Interview at SKF in Sweden
We're just back from filming at SKF in Sweden. SKF are the leading manufacturer of the ball bearings. It was a long day, given that we had to take the 7am flight to get to Göteborg, but luckily it was just a single interview.
And we got to taste a traditional Swedish prawn sandwich!Saturday, June 30, 2007
S2000 Track Day Shoot
We spent two days at Prodrive's track near Coventry, filming a track day event for Honda. We had all weathers, it both rained and shined, so the footage looks like it was filmed half in autumn half in summer!
We also got to try out our lastest bit of kit,a really simple clamp that sticks to the windscreen.Thursday, June 21, 2007

This is just genius. Every click's a classic and yet painfully real headline.

Animated spam
This is one of my favourite animations on the net. The script is taken from those spam e-mails that are filled with chunks of text, which hide a jpg with a share alert on it.
The Brother McLeods have taken the text and turned it into art. Shades of Yellow Submarine and Terry Gilliam, but uniquely sublime.

The Good German
I went to see the Good German at the weekend and was thoroughly gripped by it.
Steven Soderbergh shot this as thought it were actually filmed in the 1940s, shooting in black and white, with no radio mikes or fancy grip gear.
It takes a while to sink into the style, because it's a completely different visual style than today. I also found I was missing the odd line here and there, because the dialogue wasn't always crisp.
The story-telling style owes more to theatre than film, with the locations becoming characters in their own right, telling as much about the scars of war as the people living in them. Everyone has a part of themselves they have to sell in order to survive. Cate Blanchette, who channels Garbo/Dietrick/Bergman throughout, is simply, stoically brilliant. And the ending has "Casablanca" stamped all over it.
