POSTER DESIGNS


This poster I did for a test screening of a rough cut. I think it all look's a bit disjointed even though I like how she is coming up behind him.



I put this one together with my producer. It's much more connected. I think this one will be the official one.

Hanging at Picnic Rock - online

It's done it's rounds. It's two years old. Time to release it to the internet.





There are actually website links that claim to have this movie for you to download but they are fake. They've just got the name from IMDB.

Idiots!

Beer Coasters

Most of time I've been on a shoot there's a panic when art department realize that can't show any logo's so they cover everything up. That's just stupid and lazy. Make your own it's easy.

Retribution (Making of) Intro

This cucking funt of a blog won't let me post 6 pages without squashing one of them so here it is below in two halves.

It's the comic I did as my last school assignment.

RETRIBUTION (Making of) Part II








I plan to do this for most of my other films. It's going to take a while. I think there will be about 10 chapters.

Retribution Trailer

It's not very long.

Maybe I will do another one later.

My Corner at VCA

I'm going to miss this place. I going to miss it because after spending every waking hour of every day for the last 4 months stuck to this fuking chair constantly drawing people I could have just filmed I'm going to make damn sure I never go near it again!

The Ghost Hole


A comic I did at the 24 hr comic jam held on Thursday night as part of Inherent Vice at NGV.

The story is also partly responsible for Retribution so it was in my mind at the time. At one point I considered doing something like this as my animation. Would of been a hell of a lot simpler.













I think I spelt lonley wrong. Lonely?

Retribution Shoot Day 3

Child labor is supposed to be a cheap alternative to paying adults decent wages or anything at all. This one cost me a plane fair, chocolates, tickets to Harry Potter and a day at Luna Park. Everyone else was happy(enough) with a free lunch.







If people don't smoke then how do you see them in the dark?

Retribution Shoot Day 2

Computers fix everything.

Retribution Shoot Day 1



How good does Adrian look. I'm sure if I looked half as good as he does I'd be in a meaningful and rewarding relationship with some 24 yr old Brazilian art student instead of the patchy string of car-wrecks that I remember as relationships with girls who were so lonely that they'd go out with me only to justify their own self-loathing until they could find someone that they could show to their friends without cringing with embarrassment.

Having him on this is like finding a young Robert De Niro homeless and broke and begging for lose change in a doorway just when you need an actor for your student project.

I don't want him to know that I've spent the whole day writing his name all over my school ruler in three different colours of biro.



Here is Stephen waiting for his scene after asking "what's my motivation?" I had the boys from the camera department take him into the alley and kick the shit out him until he "felt" the role. breaking his arm might of been going a bit far but we can digitally remove that in post.

Actually Stephen is a very nice guy and important member of the art community. He has his own website. http://www.stephennallart.com/ He also did a great job of looking suitably distressed.



Computers are magic and will fix everything (like extending this wall). Just knowing people who will go home from their soul destroying jobs back to their unloving partners and their ugly children and stay up all hours of the night to digitally paint and correct, frame by frame, errors in your school assignment just so their name will flash onto a screen for a nano-second so that some day, some how, it may help them claw their way out of their miserable existence...well.. it's like living next door to Mexico.

Props




I've often planned to make my own cigarette labels for films but usually run out of time. Now that I've got people doing stuff for me I can just do the designs and they'll put it together.



This is a wallpaper design for Minnie's room. White Cara lilies were often seen as a symbol of purity and innocence and placed on the graves of children. The rare black Cara lily, a symbol of mystery and elegance, is used for goodbyes to the departed or lovers.

May

May is an elusive ghost. Difficult to catch hold of, she is often seen out of the corner of Ben's eye or just out of reach.


Casting May is like chasing an elusive ghost. Difficult to catch hold of, she is often seen out of the corner of my eye or just out of reach.





I want to get somebody who looks something like this.



The Minnie Doll

It's just not that practical to have a kid on set and have her sitting in the background for a long day of filming so I've built this.



It's already been creeping people out.
That's a good thing.
