Funnily, I have been secretly called on many occasions a Doc Head...

Been working on some GFX for a pilot of a documentary series. It's stemming from very humble beginnings: it's based on a documentary screening event held in Brick Lane called Doc Heads (every month or every other month I believe) by Tristan, Andy and a few slew of others. Great hosts, and seems that a possible tv segment is in the cards, having got quite a healthy following from the event. Proud of em. The bulk of the gfx work is done. The show will be called Doc Head Presents, promises to be filled with all that indie goodness. Mmm, advancement with a hint of defiance. Working around the concept of the 'Guerilla Filmaker'- anti-everything. Just so long as we aren't confined by the ethnocentric sensibilities of 'elite' film snobbery. Sorry its hunting for that story, whatever the issue. Never mind a budget. Anywho, first render of the ident:

What is more anti-establishment and artistic than graffiti? Brought it up in AE, made it look like it was sprayed on. Hopefully the pitch goes through smoothly.

Sum up,
Deliver.

Moby's After Music Video

Very ugly dirty quick post. I'm working at the church charity so stealing sometime away from re-re-reedting footage. No fun. Any, after a bio' panic, the video entered a part of the Saatchi & Saatchi / Moby Music Video competition is up and running. Watch it and tell me what you think. It's on Vimeo, like it if yah can. Remi said it's decent. It's all good, I do try.




Sum up,
Working on my ish more from now on. Back to dirtbag work.

Born to Render (Enemies Useless)

Taking a brief respite from crazy rendering, and also prioritising the prioritising sessions I have for upcoming jobs. "You! the one in the tacky jacket. How much you got? No money. You want it for free?! Back of the line". "All that attitude, and you still unclear about what you're after? Back of the £$%&ing line". Excuse my french. You'd think I'd have gotten used to it by now. Been busy designing, one one hand, a logo for some social care business. Company's called Three Sisters Care. I'm not sure if it's just me or does that not sound like the Fates in Greek Mythology. So in turn, makes the place sound like where old and sick people go to die. Cruel joke five [Todd voice]. Wow. Scrubs is even less funny now. Possible? Indeed. Here's one of the logos I did for the company. Client didn't like. She 'wished I had something good to say about that'. Dulani Wilson aint sh!t.

Was going for a convent, Scottish Widows type thing. She probably thought it was a hijab. She is an advocate against them, as it's a means of controlling women in the Middle East. The whole western debate is a bit over-hyped. Women who wear them are not integrated into society/ controlled/ cut off/ blah blah. As a black man, when anybody starts talking about assimilation and controlling what people wear, I'm just waiting for something even more draconian to pop off. I should be able to dress like Batman and Freddie Krugar all at the same time, long as I don't hurt anybody for no legit reason. But f@ck, what the hell do I know? I also noticed as I'm writing that I am censoring myself. Must be in a somewhat good mood.

Also designing some shirts which I promised Candy Rose. Stalk us both on Twitter : /icandyrose and /bluntspear.
Did some cool designs which I think would look pretty live on a Tshirt. Here's one:

My sentiments exactly.
I'd rock the shit out of that.

Also entering that Moby competition held on Vimeo. Its been an ugly weekend but I might be finished on time to enter before closing date monday. Hence the rendering and why I have time to be posting on here. I feel I have neglected this blog somehow, but I do come back in the end. Have a couple more freelance tips that should be helpful, should be up here soon.

Back to Moby, doing a video for the song 'After'. Premise is good and technology is putting my creativity and tolerance on trial. Heres an element to be used in the multi-media music video:

Just tilt that sexy head for me. That's it babe. See? It's a weed plant and The original man. Locks down to the flo'. I have some coloured images, but they're psd files and not internet compatible so I'd have to open them in photoshop save em as jpegs... too much. Will hit you with the end product soonish. I'm waffling. Night sports fans.

Sum up,
Bin Laden is dead. I know! Apparently they caught him on the couch watching images of himself. Wouldn't it be funny if it was porn? My mom (HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!) has a muslim friend who told her when they were having a discussion about the terrorist at her school, this bitch co-worker asked her if she was saddened by the news that he died and of how they disposed of the body. Lol. Ah, British xenophobia. Doesn't get old.
