Twisted Films



And whilst in the area of the blog, 
I was also informed a couple of weeks ago that ...

The Fraiser Werp is the winner of the 'Twisted Films' showcase.!!

it was something that was advertised on a BBC web page a while back and so I thought, ideal.

http://www.twistedshowcase.com

I'm just dwelling upon whether to let them show whole thing on their site yet or whether I'm being too precious about it. 

Meanwhile in Cuckoo Land I've actually been earning money and working my bingo wings off over the last few months on freelance stuff. It's most agreeable when a plan comes together.

The Edinburgh Short Film Festival

Right.

I kind of forgot this blog thingum.  But in the theme of self promotion...

Today it was announced that 
'The Fraiser Werp' animation has been chosen to be screened at this years Edinburgh Short Film Festival.

It will be at The Voodoo Rooms, Sunday 16th June.
screenings star at 7:30p,

the full programme will be available soon at this website

FLIP Film Festival

It seems The Fraiser Werp was shown at the FLIP film festival without me knowing....

 

It's a shame that some kind of spell check seems to have changed the word creature into something else each time it was mentioned but I'm sure that just adds to the ambiguity of the whole thing.

See the trailer for said film here...

Fraiser Werp Trailer

Finally the long awaited and not so anticipated Fraiser Werp Trailer.


I thought it wise to get something it out there while I'm trying to promote the actual animation.

THE VAN D'OR AWARDS

Well Mr Fraiser Werp didn't win at the Van d'Or Awards but I did come close to being lumbered with a very expensive jar of Barry Norman's pickled onions during the auction I'm sure.

Had a fun filled evening full of champagne, pizza and San Miguel all the same. 

The majority of the evening was focussed on film rather than animation. The winner of the animation category was Bertie the Crisphttp://bertiecrisp.co.uk which we didn't actually get to see, but to actually have The Fraiser Werp nominated as a runner up to an animation built by a 31 strong production team is nothing to be sniffed at. 

So I'd like to thank my production team for getting me there:

Andy Jenkinson 
For the quality voice over and additional sound effects 

Paul Smyth at Lab73 
For levelling out the audio tracks into something very close to perfection

my good self
for learning on the job and doing everything else, cheers.
.

Something that I was quite impressed with was the winner of the Motion Graphic category...


A trailer of The Fraiser Werp will be be available to the public soon, or full version can be seen upon request....

THE VAN D'OR AWARDS

Fraiser Werp News

I'll be heading to the Van d'or awards in London this friday as 'The Fraiser Werp has been shortlisted for this very award. Should it win anything then it shall transverse on tour to the Cannes Film Festival via Paris and be shown from the back of a van in the streets of Cannes for the film buff public to view.

That's a big if, but being nominated is funky enough, not to mention the free dinner and free booze, the ice-cream van and the potential of shaking Barry Norman's hand as he present the award.

It'll be a fun night out I'm sure.


The event

Barry Norman (who use to do what Jonanthan Ross now does with film reviews)

For those of you weirdos unfamiliar with Fraiser Werps

Star and Shadow

Well done to everyone at The Star and Shadow last Thurs you all did yourselves proud.


Witches Tuller

A little test demonstration I had to do for a potential job last week (in between the Star and Shadow shenanigans). They wanted to see if I could produce some animated kinetic typography (moving words) so I recorded myself asking my iphone questions it couldn't quite grasp. These were just a few of the answers but I'm sure it must have got the point across for them.
