The Were-Mole (Short).

      The Were-Mole. A 30 second short movie I made for a competition on Last Exit to Nowhere. All shots were filmed in one winters afternoon and within walking distance of my house and some inside it.
      The only problems I need to over come was the fact the facility buildings seen in the video thumbnail below do not exist, so I decided to have my 1st ever attempt at Matte Painting. It took a while, but I feel the result was worth it. Its certainly a technique I will be using again on my other film & animation projects.
      I was also very lucky to have access to the specimen jars used in the interior shots of the facility making it look more like a science laboratory and less like a bathroom.
      Thats about all, there will hopefully be another slightly longer version edited at some point, also a possible sequel or Prequel...who knowns?.

Hope you enjoy it.

For The Championship (A Table Tennis Film)

I have finally made a short film, its not the most classy number as I knew roughly what I wanted to do while filming it but not exactly. So It comes close to my original idea but I was maybe missing a few shots. The Film is about a game of table tennis, My original idea was to make it feel epic, but considering we could hardly hit the ball back and forth, that was never really an option, So its possibly gone more into the comedy route. Anyway, here it is... For The Championship

My latest project starts here

Ok, so my latest project is this blog. On it I will attempt to follow the production of very low budget movies made by the Hamster Crew Film Co, that's basically me.
Based out of my bedroom in semi-rural south Wales, Where I hope to create top Hollywood style movies at a fraction of the cost.
With no background in movies, everything I make or do is self taught. Expect high drama, Low budgets, Stunts, and much much more...
Peace out.
