Here's my card...

It's about that time once again. Well, once every what, 9 - 10 years. Never been the one to do a massive amount of business cards. As it turns out, most of my work comes from word of mouth. But sometimes you got to X-Men Gambit-it up with some pristine business cards.

Got these printed at printed.com, which was Goodprint back in the day, and they never fail to get the job done right. One card misprint, but otherwise quality is great.

Designed this recently with all my social media and new portfolio website. At the moment still adding stuff to the websites re: storyboard works but all in all been busy working on a few stuff for People In Motion – a charity that's doing massive things at the moment in the field of athletics, movement and sports. Hold tight for that.

But for now, I am currently trying to get some ideas down for new T-Shirts for TheActionPixel.com + TheActionPixel.store, as I may have found a new supplier that I can actually depend on. Because god knows after the month I've had, I need people in my circle to be held to some goddamn accountability for their ghastly shortcomings. And that's putting it kindly.

Sum up,

Hem Tag, I'm it.

This is only the beginning.

Prepare for war.
A common phrase of the independent creative it seems. Another forced hiatus from posting on here, but I am on the verge of launching a platform that has been a key focus of late. Also doing the odd story art job and animation.... or at least working up to it.

Re: Festival front, got Merchants Of Quietus and Red Man in the Portobello Film Festival 2014, with Red Man being nominated for best animation. More news still on Red Man coming soon too.

So. It has been a relatively busy few weeks.
But will be diligent and start religiously posting stuff on here.

Sum up,
T.A.P.

'Bluntspear at the Film Festivals'. Sounds more epic than it is.

Few updates on the Festival front for my films Red Man and Merchants Of Quietus. An all around good look methinks. Both films will be at the Portobello Film Festival and Red Man will also be at Aesthetica Short Film Festival.

Currently been busy with a few stuff, hence the radio silence. But hoping to launch a few new projects come September.

Sum up,

Great and sad times we living in. Just never compromise. Too many people change for the worse just to conform. Bleh.

"Arnilia Grove" Storyboards [SF]

Did some quick artwork for a pitch earlier this week for some great guys. More on that soonish. But, also did some storyboards for a short film called "Arnilia Grove", to be directed by Christophe Streule. Some steamy stuff, but hey, I was focused. Honestly.
Check it out:

Sum up,
July and seemingly August have been full throttle. Can't stop, won't stop. And I miss my bro.

"Elevation" Title Sequence

Added a simple title sequence to that Sci-Fi short I made in 48 hours. Thought I may as well not make my efforts go fully to waste and see how it would do in festivals:

#sfl48hr The 'Elevation' Entry

Elevation #sfl48hr #teambluntspear from Dulani Wilson on Vimeo.

Last weekend was quite hectic. I was up for over 24 hours. And no, it was not enjoyable. No partying or anything fun. Was directing, animating and editing a sci fi short as part of the Sci-Fi London 48 hour Film Competition #sfl48hr. At one point I remember typing a tweet only to realise I was not in twitter, but actually typing the tweet out in google Search. Sleep is serious. Check out some stills on shoot day:

Ok, so basic idea behind the competition, is you get a brief, telling you the concept, title, a line and prop to be incorporated in the film on the day. So after receiving this, I wrote a script, got some talented actors and shot the thing. Had to dress up a room at the back of my house to look like a sterile factory / Dexter killroom. It turned out great considering. Better than the alternative. All the locations I was researching apparently want 1000 GBP to 2500 GBP for location fees for a few hours. Thanks Film London. Always good to see you doing your part to raise the next generation of filmmakers.

After shooting, took a little rest, then started designing the elements for the computer screen. The Sunday I woke up was the worse. I went full steam, editing, correlating with two music makers/ composers, sound, sfx, simple grade and export. Didn't sleep until 1.00pm on Monday. But I am overall happy with the result.

Thanks for all the help and support over the weekend, comrades!

Sum up,
Upwards and onwards

Merchants Of Quietus Poster: "Uriel Descending"

2nd poster designed for the short film I directed Merchants of Quietus, called "Uriel Descending". I think it speaks to the blight about to be wrought on the world by two unassuming men. The short has got into a film festival in Romania, so I am just holding out to hear from the dozen of other festivals I have entered as well. Alter-Native is the name. Anywho, its time for the #designtyrant unveiling:

Ramadan Reflections Storyboards

Look into thyself. Or just read this blog. Proven to be more insightful than anything ever. Seriously. Currently sending my recently completed short off to the numerous festivals in the UK and overseas, Merchants of Quietus (www.fb.com/MerchantsOfQuietus). Trying to keep busy friend. But you can check out some story art I did for a promo for Channel 4. Ramadan. Deep (er).
