Congratulations to director Ben Field on completing principle photography on “The Chronicles of Professor Elemental”, his new three part web series, starring Paul Alborough as the Professor.

Kiera and Robin Gould designed a rip roaring fight scene for the final episode involving all manner of weird and wonderful props, and Bill went along to help out. Loads of  fun.

We’re in talks with a couple of production companies re collaborating on two series of short films, we’re developing a commercial for the summer and have a couple of possible music videos on the cards. In addition to this we have begun developing our second feature film and an hour long documentary. Let’s see what happens…

Just saw a full run through of Grist, our feature film, for the first time today. Very rough edit thus far but it’s all there. Very pleased. It looks great and some of the performances are fantastic.

To coincide with the release of Martin Scorsese’s critically acclaimed film, “Hugo Cabret”, we were commissioned by Film and TV prop makers, Dick George Creatives, to produce a short “behind the scenes” film about the creation of the main Automaton character in the film, which Bill helped to create.
