'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.

Superb news on Red Man, the motion comic / 2D animation I made earlier this year. Been quite busy storyboarding and filming an online web series so didn't have time to post this. But Red Man made it as one of the top 10 film shorts to go and see at the Loch Ness Film Festival 2014!

I want to go to there. Awesome stuff, you can read it all here in the Huffington Post .... post. Here:

Dan & Guy BTS

Awesome news. Few things. Just completed day 2 of 4, filming an online web series. It's been super awesome couple of days, and footage so far is very promising. Not to mention the cast antics have me smiling. Samya and Mayve have given 120% and writer David has been superb:

The Iron Curtain (Canon 60D) is holding up well. And also been doing some video / recording work for Vivobarefoot, and some storyboards for a few productions. More information as things develop. Can't wait to get this bad boy edited.

What's the biz, cuzzo!?

Working on a few. Securing locations, storyboarding, animation, writing treatments, editing, casting and ~~playing COD~~ brainstorming new ideas. All over the place but my sanity is still somewhat intact. Nice.

Nothing I can physically share now at the moment, sadly. So thought I may as well touch in an say 'hey. So... hey.

Be sure to look out for:

Get ready. Not so ready. Little less. Nope, a tad bit more... yes, that 'ready'.

Sum up,
Working.

"Wavy With It" Music Video BTS +

Shot a short music video Monday past, pass.... which one is it? Check it out. Managed to get a picture before my attention became consumed with the lights:

Will be editing the video as well for artiste Mimi Storm. Did it to test out new gear really. Have to say my new tripod is a beaut. Davis and Sanford. Provista. Definitely worth it for you DSLR shooters and killers.
May have to take the gloves off to get something decent. Which was never the plan, but I'll take it as it comes.

Working on a few projects at the moment, personal and client-based, for some decent brands and awesome people. Would say things are looking up, but don't want to jinx it. Jinx!

Sum up,
My Kingdom for a horse!

Blackberrys "Go Sharp" Advert

Hey did a quick turn of the design hand to make this ad for Blackberrys "Go Sharp" Autumn selection. As part of a Talenthouse / Blackberrys-hosted competition. Check it out:

"Go Sharp" or go home, baby! Sleek text made bold through colour, as well as the explosive, sharp blast of glass to mirror the lithe but striking presence of the model compliment each other well I feel.

When it comes to voting you can do that here:
https://www.talenthouse.com/i/350/submission/119926/9b8f5bbd
Any support would be appreciated kindly.

Shooting a music video next week, and a comedy series a week after that maybe. Planning and scheming.

Sum up,

bluntspear.co.uk is about as complete as it can get for now. Check it!
