Flick - The Movie

Working with Mike Burrett, we've spent the last few months doing the visual effects for a full length feature film entitled Flick.

Starring the Oscar winning Faye Dunaway (Bonnie & Clyde, Chinatown), Hugh O'Connor (Chocolat), Liz Smith (Royle Family), Mark Benton (Early Doors, Northern Lights), Julia Foster (Alfie, Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner), Terence Rigby (Mona Lisa Smile, Tomorrow Never Dies) and Michelle Ryan (Eastenders, Bionic Woman), it tells the story of Johnny, a bullied teddy boy in the 60's. His dream of dancing with Sal (Michelle Ryan) turns into a nightmare when he is bullied and beaten by Sal's boyfriend Creeper, and he finds himself at the center of a murder on the dance floor. Panicking, Johnny flees the scene of the massacre, only for his car to veer into the river, sending him to a watery grave.

40 years later, a mysterious pirate radio station playing the sounds of the 50's causes Johnny to awaken from the dead. Driving through the night, he is a monster in search of lost emotions. Through his eyes, the modern world looks just as it did in the 50's, and memory sees him return to the only place he ever called home... his mother's flat.

Johnny's back - alive and killing...

High Stakes & Spirit Seekers

Well it's been a busy few months, with films, commercials, TV pilots and CGI projects all on the go at once. "It never rains..." as they say.

Other projects we've been working on include the vampire horror film "High Stakes", shot on HDV and just going through grading and the DI stage down at Dragon Digital. More news on that as it happens.

Alongside that, we are now at the editing stage of a pilot for a new TV series "Spirit Seekers" for Gavin Cromwell from "Most Haunted", which is based around his celebrity séances. Also shot on HDV, Gavin searches for spirits in a brand new concept in Paranormal Television, to be aired in the New Year. Guests joining Gavin on the programme include, Natasha Hamilton, Stuart Cable, Caprice, Terry Longden, Peter Karrie and Kirstie Howells to name but a few. If you're a clairvoyant you probably already know when this is due out, if not then you should probably just re-read this paragraph. :-)
