'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.

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:

Designing and adding a few bits and pieces. Busying myself. That's my neologism for the day

Red Man Animation Still

Red Man reaching a close. Seriously now. Progress always feels good, doesn't it. Recently did some story art for another couple of Mitsubishi ads, so will share in due course.
For now, check out Scotland's supreme overlord king in all his tyrannical glory:

'Merchants Of Quietus' Poster

I did two posters for my short film, which I have been sending out to various festivals both nationally and internationally- Merchants of Quietus (www.facebook.com/MerchantsOfQuietus) #IBringDeath.

I recently shared the first poster on the film's official FB page, and thought I would also share it here. So check it out:

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).

Redman and other campaigns of terror

Hey gang,
One of those weeks where I am faced with numerous things to do and I am trying to block and tackle it all. #prioritise man! Any who, taking a quick break Redman frames (yep, still working on that) and though I'd say whats good. Check out a frame I churned out last night:

Also working on Merchants of Quietus, a short film. Before I was planning to make it a promo film for Lazarus Rising like I did with Black Box.... which is at 20,000+ views on YouTube right now! But after consideration I decided to make it into a film in its own right. The ending's change.... and a lot better if you ask me. Meeting D.O.P Stil to discuss sometime tomorrow hopefully. Meanwhile just working on the script and finalising it and storyboards and getting them printed. Finally got cartridges for the printer. It's been awhile you goddess of duplication.

More on that in the coming week.

It's ok, but to be fair, my dorm room was a lot more cluttered than this.

Sum up,
I am also updating the sandjfoods.co.uk website. More on that in the new year!

I am also on Instagram. Follow and share the love: www.instagram.com/bluntspear

The best gifts come in the Black Box

Hope you guys have been tuning in to www.lazarusrisingfilm.com cause that seems to be where I'm taking shelter from the nuclear holocaust that is the internet. Black Box, a promo to ... well... promote Lazarus Rising, is fast approaching release on your YouTube screens so I have been promoting the voice talent that sacrificed their time on the altar of creativity to help out.

Check em out on the Lazarus Rising website and like the FB page www.facebook.com/lazarusrisingfilm

Among the deft novices and growing talent, we have a few vets attached to the  Black Box promo, namely voice talent Corey Macri (COD: Modern Warfare, XBox, BBC) and Joerg Stadler (Saving Private Ryan and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince).

Plus some more updates are coming on the site for Monday. Stay tuned fans.

Sum up,
Self worth is good, as long as it is not inflated.

The Radio Interview: Lazarus Will Rise

What the flying bat crazy holy catholic feng sui was this guy waffling on about. My new short film in pre-production "Lazarus Rising" check out the official site: www.lazarusrisingfilm.com. We have a notable presence online: Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo, Youtube.... We are live!

Also over the weekend, I was on OnFM w/ David Michaels getting into the nitty gritty of Lazarus Rising and me as a creative. Talking about myself seems so narcissistic so excuse my modest question answers. That and the defective mic I had to totally slut it out with just so it could barely amplify the god's words.



Sum up,
Ugh! Nails on a chalk board.

Sum up,

Music Video all this half month, then it's bringing the dead to life.

Mother Knows

Mother Knows... apparently not. If you have a child and you're a prostitute... living in house... well, it's not hard to judge anymore is it. A nice but disturbing film short by Kaya George. Met her through a mutual friend, very cool director. So recently did some boards for her film and she was happy with the outcome.

Sum up,
Also did some VFX work over the weekend. Exciting, self-harm-tempting stuff!

21 Balloons Story Art

Did some boards for a short film entitled '21 Balloon' At the very least, boards are done by me so in that instant the director is at a good start.

Story Art Done. Animation commends. Pockets empty.

Sum up,

Palmiers and Gingerbread Men are nothing before my tremendous might. Look how they crumble!

Kids With Guns

Storyboard time again friends. This time for David Clark. Cool guy. Worked with him on a project with Natasha on Reunion earlier this year. He sent me snapshots of that and it looks like its coming together in a big way. We digress.

The boards was for a short narrative about kids with imaginary weaponry. Look-a-here:

Sum up,

Iron Monkey Flag,
And corrections (annoying mind lapses)

Hello, Charlie. Would be cool if it was followed by Napalm and Agent Orange.

Greetings from the crypt of the shadow arts. Sorry people, dealing with some terrible technological mishaps that has me beaming my brain goo matter to you from the clankity clank of a rather robust PC keyboard. My mac laptop, after years of infidelity with chaos and bastardom, has left me. God rest her whorish soul. So now, hopefully I'll be able to recover most of my files she left with. Just because we are divorced doesn't entitle you to half, baby.

Did some boards a week or so ago for short Hello, Charlie.

Short film, dirtbag work. Here:

Note well: Insults and approaching me with no ettiquette and respect for my time is a good way to be ignored. I'm a Martian, so enter my realm with caution .
