Distractions- a short and extremely low budget entry into the world of filmmaking

So me and my mate Chris heard that a film festival in Northern Ireland were looking for short movie entries.Us being the smart people that we are left ourselves 2 days to write, shoot and edit something. Smart move I know lol
So after writing a script and storyboards in about an hour in Starbucks we mucked about using old and extremely unstable equipment (a 12 year old camcorder and a mic that kept falling out lol) we had no tripod, cameraman, or just about any crew for that matter lol
All we had were some beers and alot of good craic =D
(*edit, for any Americans who might be reading this for some unknown reason, craic, for the last time, is not referring to drugs -.- )

without further ado here's the link

watch it in HD (lol) and ignore the random sound dips and buzzing lol

*edit Our humble movie was picked to be played at the festival =D

PS. if you want to find it on youtube at any time search 'distractions QUB'
'cos we're obviously not popular enough to come up under 'distractions' lol

The Scottscars 2023

The 2023 Scottscars For the film industry, 2023 was a year of soaring highs, particularly in animation, as well as crippling strains- see the SAG-AFTA strike or the state of Marvel and DC. So grab yourself a Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, with sugar free syrup and enjoy the 2023 Scottscars- the awards they all want to win, they just don't know it yet. The running order as always: The 2023 Scottsars Awards Last years predictions 2024 movie predictions My 2023 Stats Because the Scottscars are 100% my personal opinion, here’s what we’re working with! I had a very busy year doing the festival circuit across the world for my own short animated film, Candlelight , so I didn't see as much as usual in terms of feature films- although I have watched 75,348 short films this year. Movies watched: 72 Cinema : 29 times, 11 Imax Most watched actor/actress: Jackie Chan Most Watched Director: Brett Ratner (oh dear 💀) Notable films I haven’t seen this year: Tar Maestro...

The 2022 Scottscars

The 2022 Scottscars Hello readers! Hope you’re both well. 2022 was a funny old year in the movies. There’s certainly a sense of Hollywood trying to find its place in the new post-covid landscape, to varying success. Disney’s MCU experiments had mixed results, with the Disney plus shows varying wildly in quality and Thor 4 being an attempt to make a film about cancer into a stand up comedy routine. The year started with Will Smith’s slapping Oscars performance, then the world heard about Amber Heard’s dog stepping on a bee, Ezra Miller continued to be the absolute worst, Henry Cavill being in and out and all about with the Witcher and Superman, Warner Brothers showing absolutely zero confidence in their products by shelving 2 COMPLETED movies and James Gunn deciding to toss out the entire DC universe and rebooting it from scratch. But one thing that DOESN’T change is the most obscure and least renowned film awards of the year (It’s tradition now, so we're stuck with it). We...

Guess the Sketch!

So I've decided that my artwork's went waaaay downhill since I moved to digital sketching and inking. I still prefer digital for non messy colouring but for sketching, nothing beats a good ol' pencil. So for my first serious pencil sketch since my Sherlock Holmes sketch back in about 2008 I decided to sketch ......... Why don't you guess? Here's my first initial outlines, which to be honest looks like a troll in drag. Anyone who guesses right before I update the post with my progress can pick what I draw next! That's right people- FREE COMMISSION! Post your guesses here on the blog if you have a googlemail/gmail account or in the link on my facebook Dear, dear I've got my work cut out for me
