Behind the Scenes - Jaws Sweded

We are back! This time the swede is leaner, meaner and with a whole lot more cardboard which is exactly what you need for a monster movie!





Check out our second round of swedeness here!

The Home Movie Factory

So this week was field trip time! We all boarded the magical silver Mahindragon and singing merrily, we drove to Johannesburgtownville to go experience the magic of Michel Gondry's Home Movie Factory in the Maboneng precinct.

It's quite an amazing setup not only in terms of the physical sets and effort that has been put into making the factory a reality, but the meticulously planned and well guided journey of film making is an insane amount of fun!

A good time, i would venture to say, was had by all!

Oh, and the movie we made? Well, it's called How did the Evil Joburg Space Cops die? Vol.2

Yip.

Press Pause Play



I came across this film that was shown at the Design Film Festival in Singapore in 2011.

Here's a brief synopsis:

"The digital revolution of the last decade has released creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature or is true talent instead flooded and drowned in the vast digital ocean of mass culture? Is it cultural democracy or mediocrity? 

This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world's most influential creators of the digital era."



You can watch the entire film on Vimeo here:



And here's a link to their website: 


Enjoy! It's really worthwhile watching.

The need for swede!

The ever enterprising Ben Rausch of So Many Animal Calls had the brilliant idea of hosting a series of events entitled "The Need for Swede" over the last two months.



In honour of this event/exhibition (which I'm sure you've all heard of by now..)

Here is the Swede we did of Castaway for Rebel Alliance: The Need for Swede 1.
Enjoy!




Go to this!

This happening tonight.


Making things move!

Here are some shots from a shoot we did on Wednesday. A good time was had by all - Thank you Eugene and Henry.
