Issues of Trust- The Definitive Mafia Short Film

Issues of Trust- The Definitive Mafia Short Film.

That's right folks, it's finally finished!
This is a short 6 minute film that a few of the guys and girls from Uni have been cooking up over the last while.

It will be appearing in the April Film Devour festival in Belfast so stay tuned for more details.

Issues of Trust is about... well issues of trust! Tony Valcone, head of a mafia family has called an emergency meeting in order to 'reshuffle' the positions within his crime family business.

Here's the official poster I made when we announced the film


The film stars local legends Chris Heath and Joel Mulhern and was directed by Chris Madden.
Behind the scenes were me, planning and setting up the lighting and pre vis-ing the shots, Eoin Feighan on camera, Amanda Bowes recording the sound and Chris Madden editing the final piece.

We had a few problems with the sound, as in the room next to the one we hired out were music and drama lessons all day, along with University Fresher's Week going on right outside!
This was shot in a conference meeting room/classroom but all in all we're pretty pleased with how it turned out.Great fun to work on something with such a strong visual style/demand.

HERE IT IS!
Remember to hit the 720p HD option



Here's some screenshots












Here's the first teaser poster that I made.
May make a DVD cover next closer to the Film Devour April appearance

What do we think y'all?

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.

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
