39/LieutenantLowercase.
The brief was to produce, direct, film, act in and edit a 60 second film combing a movie genre and a graphical term drawn at random from a hat.
Each film had to include three objects :
- an egg
- a ladder
- a cat
Have three lines of dialogue :
- “how much for the little one?”
- “see you next wednesday”
- “the most important thing in life is…”
and also include the word Chelsea somewhere.
This is the effort of Christian Jeffery, Jessie May Peters, Joshua Carpenter and myself with help (and many thanks to) from Mark Hawkins. It combines the movie genre War and the graphical term Lowercase. It follows the rescue of Lieutenant Lowercase having been captured by the deadly Vietcong.
Presenting Lieutenant Lowercase : The Last of Nine. Winner of Best Film, Best Special Effects and Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the Chelsea School of Art and Design GDC1 Oscars 2010.

30/Inspired/First.
An animated typography project, Inspired. We had to take a short passage of speech that has either inspired us or would inspire others and bring it to life. This is original turntablist Grandmaster Flash talking about being first, the transcript goes on and I really want to develop this further; we’ll see what happens.

29/VersionTV.
Some actual #gdc1 work now. This was a joint project with Olivia Tythlerleigh in response to a brief set by Peter Chadwick. The brief was to imagine and produce an ethos and identity for a music channel.
The ethos : -
A music channel solely driven by user-created content. Offering a platform for fans and creatives to show off their creativity and put their own mark on music artists’ work. About participation and interactivity, a deliberate contrast to existing channels where a specific, highly-glossed image of music is dictated toward the viewer. Works as a refined and selected showcase opposed to an over saturated Youtube, where the best work is easily lost in the archives.
The identity centred around bits being brought together; be that geometric shapes, blocks of wood or youtube videos in much the same way the makers of videos that our channel showcase use the resources and ‘bits’ they have to piece together something very creative.
Logos, posters, flyers, on screen identities and a sting after the jump.
23/Pollution/ptI.
Currently middle of a project called Wordplay. As the title suggests, looking and and playing with words. Everyone has their own word, mine is Pollution.
This was a one day project to realise a prototype for a 3D installation of our given word. This one is pretty self explanatory; geometric shapes appear abstract but reveal the letter P when a movie (hinting at pollution) is projected through.
