The Making of      













Bottom line

Test shot with Polos of Death Webcam

Test shot with brand-spanking new digital camera. Hmmm....no competition really....

Ivan fiddles with his knob in the college recording studio. Oooh....look at that lovely equipment

The "Chairs of Power" pre-recording

Dialogue recording in progress with Ivan prompting, and Ernesto, Pietro and Laura in full performance mode

Tara makes the tea, while Ivan dons the mystic headphones

Jon's prototype cowboy

Ivan's prototype cowboy. Ivan made the rest of them. 'Nuff said

Fire cut-outs ready for animating

Cut-outs for gunshot flashes

Matchstick fire

Sunset shot for Poster Campaign (muchos airbrushing to remove lamp)

Crazy paving for pool dream sequence. Made from broken batchroom tiles stuck onto cardboard

Pool scene complete with fortune (there's about £60 there) and diving board

The beer helps the things go smoothly, but it's important to keep some coordination...

Setup for Egg dream sequence. There's about half the garden there, along with some definately alive things. Ivan kept finding creepy-crawlies weeks later

Some oscar-winning special effects. No, it's not Ivan's dressing gown. Darth Vader heard about our work and insisted on helping. And who are we to say no to the dark lord? We gave him some strepsils for his help and he left without dismembering us. Job done. Sorted

Chief gets serious. Nice bit of perspective on the gun

The initial oasis scene

More of the oasis scene. Jon found a big roll of blue card some fool was throwing away in a skip, and you can see the torch used for flashes from guns

The Hut of Doom, made of a cigarette head on a stick, a flowerpot and Haagen-dasz pot covered in PVA and sand, and rows of Hamlet cigars. Scary, eh?

A building in the matchstick graveyard. Again, PVA and sand is our friend, covering some toblerones and matchboxes. Can you guess what it is yet?

Rip-off of the Parthanon and Stonehenge.

The wells in the matchstick graveyard

Spot the sci-fi reference....

 Think that all looks like a lot of work? You ain't seen nothing yet(!)
