Poster Boys

From Poster Boys


Posters like all aspects of the post production stage, are essential to the publicity of a film. They are there to make a visual impact of the film to the casual observer, and so have to grab the attention of the average audience member who has seen every special effect known to humanity.

I'm on a limited budget, so spectacular graphical representations of 'Caution Wet Paint' are simply out of the budget. Otherwise I would be in that holiday home in Columbia by now...

So I have decided to stick with the comic book theme of 'Caution Wet Paint' in order to design the perfect poster for 'Jay and Kay Save the World'. Plus it is a short film that contains loads of animated clips, so it suits the subject matter of the short very well. And so, here it is, the final design for the poster to 'Jay and Kay Save the World!'

So, the difference between this and the first pic? The stills within the poster have been stylised as a coloured drawing rather than using plain pics lifted from the film. The speech bubbles have a deper bacground, the 'credits list' at the bottom of the poster have a background to make them stand out and finally there is a lovely gold background, to contrast with the main images.

Knowing me however, this is probably not the last poster design coming your way...

The Director's Chair

A little look at film making from the Director's Point of View.



You see what happens in front of the lens, but there is a whole process that goes on behind the lens to make the magic come to life! Enjoy!

This is a bit surreal. All right, maybe it is very surreal, but there is a destination to the 'Super Sushi Club'. Really, I have plan with this. If it does not work out, I can always call it apocryphal and therefore discontinue it from the CWP cannon.

The Super Sushi Club!


The fact that I am creating a whole backstory to CWP and a whole world through the comic books is a fascinating one. Plus there is the fascinating possibilities open through expanding the Super Sushi...

Da Crew!



I love those guys. Really. Well, maybe not that much. But, I had to immortalise the folks behind the camera. The ones, who normally, do not get the glory, but who have as much 'fun' as anyone else on set. The crew!



Right, El Director is off on holiday and so the comic strip will next be up and running on Monday October 19th! Until then...;)
