Cash for YOUR Chav Gold!
Pawn shops are nothing new. As old as humanity itself, there has always been a need to trade personal valuables for short/long term cash. What is new in the UK is the rise in 'Cash for Gold' merchants. These businesses advertise on satellite TV during daytime soap operas claiming to solve all your money worries (what's new?) by giving you cash for your gold.
(Click to enlarge)
Of course with gold at an all time high, we at Caution Wet Paint are proud to announce our newest partner! If you have tatty gold lying about in your home, then send it to cash_for_your_gold.co.uk and they will give you money! Yey!

Storyboarding...
Ah, the storyboards. Sometimes I draw them (stick men, at best) but often I will photograph the actors/actresses in a dress rehearsal. It is surprising how close to reality these boards are. They are also ludicrously fun sessions when you can really muck about during rehearsals and flesh out the story itself.
(Click to enlarge)
Most of the storyboards I did for Save the World were from the fight scene between Jay & Kay and the milk bottles. This was practical. To put it simply, this was going to be the difficult scene, an action scene, and so the planning needed to be good. Also mixing animation and live action into the same scene was going to be tough and I needed to know exactly where the actors were going to be before I shot the animation sequences.
The only was way to do this was during a photographic storyboard so I knew where the actors were going to be in relation of the rest of the set.
Enjoy, the logistical nightmare that is the shooing of 'Caution Wet Paint!'

A look back at 2009...
(Click to enlarge)
This is quite a personal comic strip. It has been a tough 2009 for CWP, but rather than blog about it, I decided to illustrate it. The big question I am asking myself is 'what do I do next?'
And to be honest, I do not know...

Agent Special Delivery
Apologies for being a day late with this one, but Monday was rushing around on Planet Earth with very little to show for it! Anyhow, we see Jay unleash his comic book fantasies by portraying his flatmate Kay as 'Agent Special Delivery'!
(Click to enlarge)
This particular comic has a murky beginning. This is partially based on a webisode and partially based on Jay himself. It's easier for you to watch the webisode than for me to prattle on about it, but needless to say, it establishes in the cannon the 'Dumb and Dumber' aspect of Jay and Kay's relationship. And yes, Jay is most definitely the 'dumber'...
So enjoy the almost darker side of CWP with 'Kay the Cool'. Not sure how I will spin this one out, but something will come into my mind...

Poster Boys
(Click to enlarge)
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 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!
(Click to enlarge)
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...;)

Milk! From Outer Space!
(Click to enlarge)
I really liked doing this, both as a short film and as a comic strip.
Originally, Nick came to me and asked me to shoot Jay and Kay in the back garden, just chatting, and most importantly, having the milk bottle 'disappear. He then told me to 'trust him'. So I did. A few weeks later, he brought me the animation sequence and so was born the two alter egos of Silvertop and Goldtop.
The reason why I have enjoyed this webisode so much is that the story is continued in the latest incarnation of Caution Wet paint, Jay and Kay Save the World! Yep, give me a chance, and I will string a story out far beyond the stars...into the realms of madness!
