A few of the Lumumba Monologues cast got together to enjoy some fine Christmas radio. What they got was the true horror of the modern Christmas carol.

Sometimes all you need is a fine Lumumba! Enjoy with whipped cream 🙂

The most wanted man on the planet finds himself the victim of a relentless manhunt and smear campaign for revealing nothing more than the truth but he finds help in the strangest of places that guide him and help him discover who is friend and who is foe.

This trailer was edited in a Hollywood trailer style with over-the-top bass in an attempt to make the production seem bigger than it is to get Nicolas Cage on board. (Long story short, he didn’t make it past the first audition. All a bit awkward in the end really)

“Nothing is Secret, Nothing is Private. They know everything”

A short time-lapse video of the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory performing what one of the expert employees (Eric) called ‘An Unusual Manoeuvre.’ Apparently the telescope was tracking a moving object in space. A truly impressive site. (Albeit in real life there was no epic bassy soundtrack and it was much much slower than this:)

A short documentary following the young and deeply disturbed Dr Frankín and his minions as he reveals his life’s work, the secret moon annihilator humanitarian experiment. He also shares his thoughts on tourists, recycling and his neighbour. But have his minions done their jobs properly and is the experiment correctly configured to give Dr Frankín his revenge what he needs to help humanity?

Awakening was an experiment with time-lapse photography that became this video of a Lily. My first attempts resulted in 1000s of photos of the same closed Lilly which were nice enough as pictures (although acutally pretty boring if I’m being honest) but they definitely didn’t make much of a video and it did start to feel strange leaving for work everyday and leaving a camera repeatedly taking the same thing like an art-house CCTV camera. After watching how the flowers seemed to burst open at first light and in as short a time of 1hr I setup and this is what I got. The soundtrack is the actual sound of the flower opening. I put a very small hidden microphone with the flowers and this is what it picked up. Honestly, it wasn’t created separately and added later to make the whole thing seem like Planet Earth on acid!

On a recent visit to the Austrian Alps ‘Das Tagebuch’ gave birth to itself and from the chaos and cushion of digital placenta grew and evolved into an experimental diary to review the many thoughts and emotions of the day. The form is a true surrealist visceral art-house style which subverts and rejects the straightjacket of traditional narrative structures.

These films were conceived, filmed and edited daily in 1.5 hours each (avg based on dinner time) so are instinctive expressions and naturally liberated from any typical editorial processes. As such they embody a rawness that makes them either truly original organic masterpieces of expression, thoughts and emotions or, more likely, rushed incoherent shite.

Note: These films are best watched in fullscreen mode with full HD selected accompanied with a fine balsamic vinegar and a breaded fertiliser.

Tag Eins
“…the Millennium Express stole my innocence.”

Tag Zwei
“And all that remains is my snow blind humiliation.”

Tag Drei
“His coat was as soaked as a doughnut made from spit.”

Doing what he does best Mr Bono Vox lends his weight and charisma to a Three Peak Challenge fundraiser to raise money for River of Life Uganda White Eagles Project. (A great charity supporting and educating children in Uganda and giving them the opportunity to fly high) With the help of “De Edge”, Bono writes a theme tune and shows us his personalised Three Peak training regime with the aim of inspiring the challenge team to fly high.

(This video is a collection of Bono’s bits from 4 longer charity videos so may make even less sense!)

Sick of the consumerist obsession for shopping? Boxing Day 2011 saw people queuing to find deals from 6am!!!?? There’s a lot that could be said about this but we tried to sum up the feeling in a simple film.
