Hard to believe that it was 15 years ago that The Prodigy released their single Smack My Bitch Up and along with it the ground breaking video by Swedish director Jonas Åkerlund.
We were approached by Felix Leiter and the club brand Elektriqa to produce a video which played homage to the smack my bitch up video, being Felix’s favourite music video.
The track, like the brand is called Elektriqa and has since been signed to one of the worlds biggest dance music labels Spinnin’ Records
The track is not officially released until the summer but here is a sneak preview of the video, this is the censored version;

We have been asked by the organisers of The Evolution Festival to produce several videos for this years event.
The first is a promo advertising the main daytime events of the festival. The organisers did not have any video footage of past events and so we were asked to source photographic content from several local photographers for the video.

The festival takes place at the former site of Spillars Wharf and at several other venues on August bank holiday. Full lineup is yet to be announced.
We were asked by Codeworks to produce a viral video advertising the North Easts regional heat of Microsofts global Imagine Cup 2012 competition.
Codeworks requested that we make something which would appeal to students between the ages of 16 and 25 who are into graphic and web design, games and media. Codeworks wanted the video to primarily drive traffic to their website for the competion they also requested that the duration be no longer than 1 minute and that we try and involve local landmarks to interest potential competitors across the north east.
Here is the final product

The Making Of U
We recently completed a half hour documentary for charity After Adoption. The documentary was shot in Newcastle and Gateshead and covers the production of childrens book ‘The Making Of U’ by a group of adopted young people working under the pseudonym Kendra Fairbairn. Together with facilitator Paul Summers and illustrator Josie Brookes they created a beautifully written and illustrated book which is aimed at key stage 1 and deals with isssues such as identity and belonging.
“The Making of U is a book for all those kids just trying to work out who they are. Written by a group of adopted young people and stunningly illustrated by Josie Brookes,
The Making of U tells a story of self discovery and adventure which resonates with children and adults alike. Addressing questions every child needs to consider – Who am I?”
The Making Of U has recieved great reviews on several radio stations as well as in The Journal and The Guardian newspapers
We were present at every development meeting and recorded approximatly 20 hours worth of footage from the very start of the project all the way through to the book launch at Seven Stories Centre For Childrens Books
Our documentary, ingeniously titled ‘The Making Of…The Making Of U’ (no idea how we came up with that) has so far been screened at Tyneside Cinema and the After Adoption general meeting.
The book is available here from Amazon for £6.99
We hope to make excerpts of the documentary available online at some point once we have recieved clearence from all involved.
