I thought that it was about time I shoved one of my films onto the You Tube. Impressively it has a simpler upload mechanism than Google Video used to have - I presume Google Video now shares more of the same technology.
Having uploaded the file I was encouraged to see a mechanism to embed the video in a web page. I'm a sucker for trying this sort of thing out, so here it is:
Of course this video is also available elsewhere on this site!
A Merry Monkey Christmas to you simian, cheese fancying, web surfers! As a special festive treat we at nofear have dusted off, and remastered, another of the famous M. Singe et M. Fromage films. This is delivered out of sequence to the other 8 reels of film left for us to process, but we do not need much of an excuse do we? The film is available as an MPEG and a WMV!
After hours of stife, hunting cyberspace for the origins of the infamous "LemonParty", we at nofear now can provide you with the original video, or film, of the scene. Click the link to see LemonParty in all its glory. Beware the footage is of an extremely fruity nature!
After many delays we are proud to offer the 2nd installment of this excellent serialisation of Monkey and Cheese madness. Click the link to watch the movie:
I got interested in who else might have posted their video footage of firework displays onto the internet. In hunting around I found that there is a wealth of material available not only of proper firework displays but also of a whole host of other interesting stuff. Eventually I might put some of the more choice items up for perusal, including - but not limited to - saftey training footage (quite scary!), and also a couple of yanks in a car throwing bangers at cows, missing, and hurting themselves in the process...
Of course it will all be in the best possible taste.
Nofear Films is proud to present the first of hopefully many "experimental films".
Quantised-T attempts to deal with the constraints of narrative, and by quantising each shot to a whole number of seconds we investigate the nature of editing, does it have to be frame perfect? Unfortunately the foley editor went off the rails and spoilt the seriousness of the whole project.
Quantised-T : Colour, 4 mins (exactly).
Just to keep our film lovers out there happy here is a very (and I mean very) short film about two characters. Digitally remastered from the original frames which were found taken in a secondhand cine-camera.
Click here to see the film. It's been encoded as an MPEG to save space. Might appear as an even smaller WMV file if people ask...
Okay lots of people have been asking for a smaller size, after all we don't all have T1 connections in our home. It's a 351Kb wmv file and probably needs Windows Media 9 to play it. It is also a 'silent' movie in case you think you've gone deaf. Download file
Coming soon, an update about the film of 'The Artist', plus reviews of "Virgil Bliss", "Russian Ark", and "Intacto".
Yesterday I finally got to do my scene in Hamgrays forthcoming film about the resident artist. It really is quite amazing how long it takes and just how much footage we ended up with for what is to be a scene of about two minutes length.
Will post-production be complete before the submission date for the Cambridge Film Festival. Will they accept it? Will it get critical acclaim? Time will tell...
A little word of caution for Hamgray, director of our up and coming film about the artist.
"There is a phenomenon in the business known as director's disease. It is a rash, a cold, or a headache that is directly related to the pressure under which the director puts themselves. While shooting Beauty and the Beast, Jean Cocteau developed horrid boils that had to be lanced each evening. Miraculously, when the picture wrapped, the boils disappeared. Good health is a key factor in maintaining the rigorous pace of a shoot."
A face covered in boils reminds me of Baron Harkonnen in the film Dune. As a teenager I was always fascinated by the scene where he pulls the heartplug out of the terrified young boy, the music reaching a crescendo as his face and the flowers get splattered with blood. I always thought that scene was rather lascivious, but perhaps that's just me.
