Moss the Stork

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.

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.

Icke's Struggle promo
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...
