If You Go Down To The Woods Today.
Fashion feature short we just wrapped with D1 Models. Massive thanks to everyone involved, big heads up to Apparat for being extremely cool about the music, and one of the few electronic artists capable of making australians cry. Support.
Backstage stills and more available on the Offworld Project Facebook Page.

The Craftsman
Things have been busy recently, leading up to the big Offworld Project launch. (More on this later).
As a teaser, here's The Craftsman; a short we made recently for the RSA/Philips/BAFTA competition. It's currently in the Top 5, having been selected by the panel and public vote, with Ridley Scott choosing the final winner in a couple of weeks. Enjoy.

Girls On Film
Something exciting is happening with music videos again, I can't put my finger on it exactly, but space is opening back up for semi-professional productions. Until fairly recently it's either been zero-budget 'quirky concept' or Rihanna, but something in-between is on the rise. Whether or not mid level directors are benefitting is obviously in contention, but I digress from these visual treats.
Hurts have always intrigued me, despite their underground overexposure... a straight pop effort dressed in Joy Division Dior Homme and referencing The Night Porter is definitely something to support, even if everyone is telling you as well. Lady Gaga must approve. UNKLE's latest collaboration with Warren & Nick comes off like a fashion film hybrid, and does it very very well.

Explosions In Space Are Silent (2008)
'I' is generally something that's avoided on this blog, mostly because the non-original material that gets put up wouldn't benefit much from a dear diary accompaniment. This entry is a slight exception however, as there's not really a way to post a piece of work I've been sitting on for two years without some words of explanation.
Once upon a time in a land geographically pretty close but shortly after the first iPhone was released I came up with the idea of Offworld Project, and having nailed my concept, was literally exploding to make something that would encapsulate my style completely, that was every bit my baby from beginning to end. Which I did.
In hindsight, obsessive control is never healthy; spending every penny I had (and more than a few I didn't), months of pre-production, directing and very physical acting (my first time at both), no sleep, and learning colour grading from scratch whilst barely leaving my windowless cave doesn't allow for much distance.
Tragically (but fantastic at the time), I managed to suck a load of very talented people into my black hole of enthusiasm who all worked brilliantly together, and expected something to come of it, but as (ambition - distance x expectation = time), it's apparently taken a long while to work out what it was we made, and it's place in the scheme of things. In other words I never showed it to anyone.
At the time I guess it was hard to watch, having put so much into it, and having to see yourself on screen, or it was just stupidity. Either way I realised the other day it was probably about time to put it online...
(There's also a great little making-of that Kyri made, both songs are M83)

Snow White Identity Crisis
Willy Vanderperre shoots Mariacarla Boscono for i-D in a surreally sexy editorial that looks like it would be more at home in an older Dazed & Confused.

Health & Cheer To All Gingers
Ummm... so a couple of shock-tactic new music videos that both happen to be pretty amazing.
First is for HEALTH's We Are Water by Eric Wareheim (via City Slang), and second is another slice of teenage apocalyptica by Romain Gavras (remember Stress?) for M.I.A's new song Born Free (great song as well)...
I like them, if that's the right word....
