We seriously struggled with whether or not to post these photos on our blog. Will people think we’re idiots? Yes, probably. Do we care what people think? No, we obviously don’t care what people think. Otherwise we’d probably be more careful about this kind of stuff. But at the end of the day, these nonsensical fridge magnet phrases crack us up. ESPECIALLY the goon poem bat shit one. I have no idea why. It’s just a great set of words lined up one after the other. So please, join us in our stupidity as we take a trip down da da lane. WARNING: SOME WORDS NOT SAFE FOR WORK, ENLARGE PICTURES AT YOUR OWN RISK:
Note – These were the best of the best of the last 6 months. I know. It’s that bad over here. We make more of these every day so I’ll sort through the entirely inappropriate ones and should have another batch for your viewing pleasure up shortly. Trust me, there will be a great deal of sorting on my part. Ta for now! -Justin Today we’ have the third short in The Ten Commandments series, number 7: Thou Shalt Not Steal. This one was a bit of a challenge. Banana’s aren’t exactly easy to animate. They don’t stand up. Who knew? But the sets were a lot of fun to make and we had a great time shooting this one. We hope you enjoy it: More commandments shorts are in the works. We’re 3 down with 7 more to go! -Justin The hard work and dedication of a handful of strong-backed volunteers (like myself) and skilled concrete finishers continues to produce a unique piece of art in a tunnel on Vancouver’s east side. Leeside is like a DIY sculpture project designed for skateboarding that’s constantly evolving. Here are some recent shots of the work we’ve been doing down at the spot over the last few months:
For some more info here’s a short documentary on Leeside produced by Thor Larson: LEESIDE IS AT CASSIAR AND EAST HASTINGS IN VANCOUVER. HERE IS THE GOOGLE MAPS LINK.
-Ken Global Mechanic’s own Brent Bouchard brings us a series of really really short films that take place in a doctor’s office. The timing on these is really great. I’m fond of the horse one myself. Take a look at the first 3 shorts in the series: EPISODE 01
EPISODE 02
EPISODE 03
To see more of these shorts and some of Brent’s other work, visit his youtube page here or visit his vimeo page here (whichever you prefer). Be sure to check out his blog too. -Justin Hello all, This time we have sketches from Bruce Alcock, Nathaniel Akin, Michael Mann, Francois-Marc Baillet and Justin Longoz.
More sketches coming soon! -Justin How dee,
So there you have the basic layout of the set and some of the art room. The two are very close together in the studio which is great because you can come up with an idea for a prop/set dec, walk 20 feet, make it and then have it back in the set pretty quickly. I thought it might also be fun to show you guys some close ups of the details in the short (like the photos and the beer can design). Take a look:
Okay, that’s all for now. Check back soon and we’ll have another 10 commandments short with some more production stills and maybe some more design images as well. -Justin Today we have the second short in a series of films we’re calling The Ten Commandments. This short illustrates commandment number 3: Keep Holy the Sabbath Day. We’ve managed to cram in a little bit of a topical theme this time. Can you figure out what it is? Duuuuh… Hope you enjoy it: Keep Holy the Sabbath Day was made by 1998 creative and was produced in studio by Global Mechanic. 1998 creative is: Chris Mckinlay, Justin Longoz and Patrick Beechinor. Stick around, we have more commandment videos on the way. -Justin I love fly fishing for Atlantic Salmon, which I sometimes do in Labrador. Woods, rocks, flies: this stop-motion sketch shows the 3 iconic elements of the place. Should be more flies really. |
