Digitigrade Faun Legs

We stayed up all night making three pairs of last minute digitigrade faun legs for a friend's Christmas party, Chris came home from partying just in time to model them :) The resulting video is too explicit to ever be shown online.

Boots x Summer Camp

We cast thirty hands and mounted them on long arms for a Boots ad/Summer Camp promo. Many 'handy' puns occurred. Until we were working through the night to get them done. Then nothing was funny.

Thanks to May Yang for the SFX makeup, Morgan for letting us trash his house, Sam Ebrahim and George Dodgson for the camera times, Charlie Dodgson for his editing help, Anita Lawlor for being a body double, and to Chris Snelson for doing all the driving and last minute rush arounds.

We Are The Ocean - Overtime is a Crime launch

We made some articulated wings and did the costuming for a We Are the Ocean music promo directed by Mathy and Fran. It's inspired by 80s teen movies. We met the band, who were lovely, but made us feel really old by talking about Blink-182 as a vintage band. Derp.

The promo for Blanck Mass's 'Icke's Struggle' is out now on Vimeo after previewing on Pitchfork! Polystyrene paradise built and destroyed by DIE MORTAL.



BLANCK MASS - ICKE'S STRUGGLE from Alex Turvey on Vimeo.


I hope the making-of video filmed when we were all high as kites on dissolved acetone and polystyrene fumes never gets pulled together...

This was an epic shoot, and a day that involved all three emergency services by the end of it...
