Reason 29

I'm very, very sorry.

Spoof 2001 / Hello Advert

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 12:41:59 +0100

A while ago, as a result of a drunken conversation about how all advertising was rubbish and even a monkey could come up with workable ideas, I made this thing. Then lost it.

Now I've found it again.

Did Hello magazine ever use such an obvious idea? Or Heat? I don't know. But if they do, I want a cheque.

Best advert of the year (so far)

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 02:06:08 +0100

What happens when you use the best driving song of all time (as selected by Top Gear, and independently verified by me) to advertise the best chocolate made (as decided by me)?

This..... enjoy.

Brilliant!

I am a Twit, The Sontarans are sh!t

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:06:36 +0100

Ok Jon, I've started using twitter now. Are you happy?

I hope you are. Currently I'm so unhappy and angry that I may need to go out and kick a tramp.

What could possibly bring on this foul mood? Why its the latest concept to by urinated on by our old favourite Russell T. Davies, the Sontarans.

Lets have a quick look at them from back in the days when they weren't shite and didn't do silly dance...

Whippet Dog

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 20:40:43 +0000

The fantabulous Dr. Ashen created a cartoon called "The Life and Times of Henry Pickles: Whippet Dog", which you can find here.

Being the terrible plagiarist that I am, I stole the concept (and his voice), and produced this...

Thanks to the good doctor for allowing me to steal his voice. His soul will be next!

God Gave Us Life

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 04:02:10 +0000

"God Gave Us Life", by Half Man Half Biscuit.

Another half-baked animantion, cobbled together over two nights.

This one celebrates all that God has given us.

The Shrew (Where Everybody Knows Your Name)

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:32:22 +0000

Here comes another hastily put togother video. This time its a version of the Cheers title sequence, but featuring the folks from The Shrewsbury Arms in Stafford.

Cobbled together by myself, with photographs supplied by Alf Jackson, and some old ones from the Staffordshire Past Track website. Gary Cartwright gave my the idea for this last week, and frankly I'm amazed that I could be bothered to get it done, considering i'm such a lazy oaf.

"Theme from Cheers (Where Everybody Knows Your Name)". Words and Music by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo. Performed by Gary Portnoy. Earthtone Recording, Inc.

Stafford Song Animation

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 17:56:31 +0000

After literally hours of work, I've crafted this wonderous video of the excellent Stafford Song. It's made with Moviestorm, and the music of Tom Sofa.

Truly Awful Goth Jokes #1

Sun, 09 Dec 2007 04:05:44 +0000

For those of you too tight to shell out a few quid for the Goth Jokes book (available here), I've made a short animation of one of the lower quality jokes. This time i'm using Moviestorm, the beta version of which is free. Oh, and some speech synthesis software was used too.

The Window Cleaner

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 18:48:22 +0000

Another pointless animation

The Man With X-Ray Eyes

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 19:47:57 +0100

Another wonderfully pish-weak animation for your viewing pleasure. This one is made with The Movies.

From the painting by Richard Dadd, and the Music by Queen.

The Dancing Peanut

There really was no reason for me to make this.

The "Job" Series of Animations.

Fri, 05 Jan 2007 16:31:01 +0000

Three videos for the price of one here..... All made with The Movies, but I forgot to upload them to this site.

Come On Baby, Light My Fire

Inadvisable lighter trick
"Having read in your worthy missive that disposing of batteries by fire is not very impressive," writes Tony Blews, "We decided (instead) to cast our communal lighter unto the flames. And film it."
Yup, that looks more impressive. But don't blame us, Tony. You were clearly drunk and reckless.
