Jack

An award winning short film inspired by The Stanley Parable indie game, and The Truman Show. Starring BAFTA nominated Kevan Brighting as the voice actor from the original Stanley Parable indie game and Tristan Coates as Jack. The Stanley Parable is a game about game design, a surreal interactive satire on its medium. While adapting this concept to film, we translated the satirical themes into a commentary on film making; developing the story and style simultaneously to build the world of the writer. VFX played an important part in creating a world similar to The Stanley Parable. Using green screens and camera tracking we were able to recreate the shifting environment in the game and place the film in an artificial setting.

Success Is Served

A woman calls The Success Service to help her create the façade of success. The service facilitates re-ordering the house to fit the woman’s perception of success. None of the invitees show up beside the mailperson who spent the day delivering said invites only to realize they too received an invitation. The party of two proceed with the night of fine dining and connection, facilitated by the service workers, but all is not what it seems. Examining the commodification of success and its defining parameters, the film aims to explore the lengths one will go for a fleeting sensation of perceived achievement and purpose. If success is commodified then, just like any other good for sale, it has an expiry.

Red Skelton: A Royal Command Performance

This performance was recorded live on Red Skelton's 70th Birthday on 18 July 1983 and released on the pay cable channel HBO on 22 April 1984. The recording took place before the Royal Family at London's Royal Albert Hall and before a packed house of Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen. Red tosses off jokes, one-liners, and works through elaborate pantomime routines both classic and new. Highlights include Skelton's uproarious "Guzzler's Gin" routine, his "Fisherman and the Little Boy" mime, and his heartbreaking "Old Man Watching a Parade." Additionally , he mimes a scarecrow and an old golfer. His legendary rapport with audiences is clearly evident here.

The Flight of Iro and Casper

When lonely office worker Casper is stood up by his date, he finds himself in a warehouse harboring an abandoned mirror, in which he is confronted by a reflection of a strange woman, Iro, in place of himself. He soon learns from expert Dr Luoma, a physicist struggling to win back her reputation due to her wayward theories, that there is more to Iro than meets the eye and that she is arguably a real person, not just a figment of Casper's imagination mimicking his movements and facial expressions. This leads Casper to a journey into the realms of an inverted world that exists behind the mirror to find out who this feminine impostor really is, and to learn about the curious world in which Iro lives.
