Molly Brown's Blog (35)

I haven't been around here much for a while now because I've been so busy churning out one video after another - several of which have been screened at festivals here in the U.K. (where I live) and Europe - that I haven't had time to stop long enough to post them here. But I've made the time for this one because - at long last! - I've finally made another zombie video.

Though the video is brand new (hot-off-the-press, only finished within the last 24 hours!) the song - Re;…

I made this for a Kino London challenge, for which I had to make a short film with the title: Attack of the Killer Eels From Mars.

I only finished it this morning, so it's very much "hot off the press." Hope you enjoy it. 

Just a bit of silliness made for a Kino London challenge. The audience couldn't make up their minds on the night I was assigned the challenge criteria, so I ended up having to combine two different things:

1) The entire world wakes up one morning with squeaky voices,

and:

2) "Revenge of the Folksinger."

No zombies in this one, but there are aliens. ;)…

A friend recorded this novelty Christmas song some years ago, then found out - about four weeks ago - that it had been included in a compilation album of Christmas songs. At which point he asked me to make him a music video for it in a hurry.

It nearly killed me, but I managed to get it done. So here is my first - and possibly my last! ;) - ever attempt at making a music video. No zombies in it, alas, but FWIW, there are a few dancing snowmen. ;)

BTW,…

This thing has taken up every waking moment of my life for the last seven weeks or so, with the result that I am now officially exhausted! 

I made this for The Halloween Monster Movie Challenge 2012. (Which is still going on; I actually managed to finish my entry a couple of weeks before the 31st October deadline, so this could hardly be more "hot off the press.")

Hope you enjoy it.…

I actually finished this a few weeks ago, but I've been so busy working on a new animation - for the Halloween Monster Movie Challenge 2012 - I haven't had the time to post it to youtube until this morning.

And I don't really have the time now; I'm nowhere near finished with my monster challenge movie, but with Halloween rapidly approaching I figured I'd better take an hour out to get this thing on youtube. ;)

Hope you enjoy…

I seem to be getting more and more into animation these days. "Dust" was made for a competition, for which I had to make a three minute film on the theme of: "Heaven and Hell." 

Though I didn't win -- boo-hoo! - I was told afterwards that Dust had come in a very close second. 

BTW, I'm currently editing my next video: "Your Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse."

It's another animation - and animation can take a lot of time - so it may be a while before I post it here.…

Once again no zombies... but lots of people being crushed by giant falling rocks.

Hope you enjoy it. ;)

Here's my latest new video.

Though once again, I've neglected to include any zombies, it does have a bit of screaming. ;)

I posted the original version of May Be Side Effects here more than a year ago. Then last October, I submitted it for a Halloween screening in London where all of the films had to be under six minutes long. And at 6:48, it was way too long!

I eventually got it down to five minutes and fifty-four seconds. The new, shorter, version has been shown at a couple of screenings - including the Halloween screening which prompted me to cut it down in the first place - where it…

This one was made for a challenge in which I had to make a film in one week with the title: "Dolphin in a Coma," and was screened at Kino London on Thursday night as part of the London Short Film Festival.

Christmas has always been a traditional time of making videos with lots of explosions and special effects, so here's what I've been up to over the last couple of days. ;)…

Here's my latest. I just finished editing it today so it's hot off the press (so to speak).

Once again I must apologise for the lack of zombies. But there are plenty of eyeballs. ;)

Sorry I post here so rarely, but these days my time is almost completely taken up with writing, shooting, and editing silly little videos. It's become a kind of addiction. ;)

When a new edit of my zombie film, May Be Side Effects, was shown at Kino London last month, I accepted yet another challenge to make a film with whatever title they pulled from a hat. And this time the title the hat produced was: "The Last Santa."

To me, that title just screamed…

My previous video, Reflection of Love, had several screenings last month, one of which was at a regular monthly event called Kino London. And when Reflection... was shown there, they offered me a challenge which I naively accepted.

The challenge was to make a film with the title, "When Tickling Goes Wrong, part one," which had to be ready in time to be shown at the next monthly screening. So here is the film - well, "video" actually! - that was shown at the October Kino London…

After The Dealer's Club won the top prize (called The Golden Quickie Award) at the Quickflck London screening on the 8th of June, in a fit of hubris I decided to have another go, with the result that I've spent the last six weeks or so immersed in the making of a new video, this time on the theme of: "Mirror."

I finally finished the new video last Friday, just in time for it to be shown at the Quickflick London screening on Tuesday the 26th of July, where.... guess…

Thought the following news item might amuse:

Also, my short video, The Dealer's Club, was shown at the Quickflick London screening the…

I made this for Quickflick London, a bi-monthly festival of short films made on a specific theme. Though Quickflick is not a 48 hour challenge competition, for me it might as well have been because I only found out about it a few days before the submission deadline of Monday, the 9th of May.

Films had to be on the theme of: "Dealer." So, in a desperate bid to make the deadline, I hurriedly dashed off a script and rounded up some people to be in the…

Read the customer reviews. ;)

My latest attempt at editing. Still no zombies, but it was shot after dark (on my phone) at a fairground, so think of it as location scouting for Zombieland 2. ;)
