Fake, but funny.

OK, I admit it...I might have a bit of a problem!

New WCRS&Co Branding

Our agency, WCRS, has undergone a bit of a makeover. It is now WCRS&Co - taking onboard the digital agency Altogether.

One of the highlights of this are these exciting interchangeable logos (click to enlarge) and customizable scripts/business cards. So now, whenever we write scripts for the client we get to choose what logo we'd like on it. There are even some special event logos, for Wills and Kate's wedding etc. I must admit, it makes everything feel that bit more special. Nothing like a bit of the old personal touch in this crazy digital world eh?

Kudos to Mr JF Corcoran.

So bad it's good

Remember this?!



I want a Power Glove and I want it now! Anyone got one?

I will give your fifty English Pounds for it.

Saatchi Gallery Best Of

I had a day off today. I was going to watch Tron Legacy in 3D but got my dates muddled up. Like a moron. So I took myself off to the Saatchi Gallery instead. I had never been before, but watched that School of Saatchi programme a while back on the telly.

So, I think there's some really great stuff in there. And of course some not so great stuff. It seems to me that to get into the gallery you need 'impact', pure and simple. I'm probably stating the obvious really, but to me modern art is all about different degrees of visual impact. And of course, I want the 'how did they think of that' factor thrown in.

Here are some of the best bits (in my humble opinion). My personal favourite was the dead insects being ridden and fought by tiny little skeletons. Some might think it's a bit 'Games Workshop' but I think the attention to detail, imagination and workmanship that's clearly gone into it is superb (click on the bottom picture then enlarge it further to see what I mean). It's called 'Swarm' and is by a lady called Tessa Farmer. My second favourite was the oil room - just so simple and clean to look at.

Hope you enjoy the photos and therefore don't have to trek over there and dodge the Chelsea tractors.

Penzance Promenade Panoramic

I've just been down to see my mum in Penzance, and whilst there I got to see what my new camera (LX5) was capable of. Here's a little panoramic shot from the promenade (click for full screen). Batten down your hatches folk, there's a storm a-brewin'!

Virtual DJ saved my life

Back in the day, in deepest darkest Cornwall, I used to do a bit of mixing like. It was kind of an obsession for a few years, but as you do, I lost interest. However there's a great programme for Macs called 'Virtual DJ' that seems to be very simple to use. I've got a couple of days off now, so might even try and lay down some mixes. F-F-FRESH!!!

Rubbishcorp

Just a quick mention of Rubbishcorp blog. What I love about this blog is that it's run by a guy called Nathan, a CD at Anomaly London, who most definitely talks the talk and walks the walk.




Too many people in this industry simply just talk about doing great stuff, well this guy not only keeps us up to date with all the latest cool shit, he's also out there making lots of great stuff of his own. And it's all of a consistently high quality. Muchos kudos.

Anyway, that's all I wanted to say really. Rubbishcorp is good, which is why it's been my homepage for the past 6 months.

Full of trashy hits, mixed up hectic aiiiiiiiitttttt! Skee-Lo over Radiohead anyone?

Skating and Hermes???

One of the strangest executions tonally I've ever seen. My mum wears Hermes, yet they've chosen fingerboarding as the film?! Very odd, but I guess that's what makes it different. And they kind of pull it off:



I used to be well into fingerboarding at school...must've had one confiscated every week!

Proxy Mines!!!

This is a pretty sweet online app that allows you to plant proxy mines on any websites you want, then blow up you mates.














Love the fact that they've simply taken one of the best bits from Goldeneye on the N64, the proxy mines, and made it feel lovely and modern 10 years on to advertise the new Wii version.

Check it...http://proxymines.com/

Annoyingly, I'm locked out of Facebook at the moment so can't try it properly. Anyway, muchos kudos as usual to Droga5.

Zelda & Hip-Hop. What a Link-up...

I love Zelda. I also love hip-hop. So this album, The Ocarina of Rhyme, is an absolute dream.


















It includes all the classic themes from the N64 smash-hit 'Ocarina of Time', considered by most to be the best Zelda ever (I personally prefer Link to the Past on the SNES but hey). Over the top of these tunes are cleverly layed hip-hop tracks by the likes of Common, Dre and Spank Rock. I don't think it's even an official album. I got it on the down-low aiiiiiiiiiii.

Check out this track, it's Common's 'I used to love H.E.R.' over the Hyrule Village theme.



Makes me want to dig out the old N64 and play it all over again...

RIP Paul

Curry's Star Wars ad

Are these the droids you're looking for? Brilliantly done Curry's ad, beautifully shot and amazing that the wipes are true to the original Star Wars films. For some reason, the R2 looking in the washing machine is my favourite shot.

Better than all 3 new Star Wars films put together. Thank god George Lucas didn't direct it.

And it shits on all Star Trek, ever.

Good to know where you've been innit. Not enough foreign shoots I must add (only Hong Kong, Portugal, Spain twice...) Note to self: must sort this out.

Yeasayer

Saw uber-trendy Yeasayer at the Roundhouse last night...



















Their 'Madder Red' video is a proper beaut.

The Dark Side of the Lens

I used to surf with this guy, Mickey Smith, back in the day.

He's now an established surf filmmaker, specializing in the freezing, outer limits of UK surfing. The guy puts his life on the line each time he gets some shots.

Respect indeed.
