How, was that believable??

There is an unwritten rule in screenwriting that I have come to learn recently called two pieces of magic (Save the Cat by Blake Snyder). The rule states you can only have one piece of magic per script. One piece of magic being for instance ‘aliens are attacking planet earth’, or perhaps, ‘vampires live among us’. Either of these on their own are stretching reality, but you can get on board with them right?, it’s the cinema after all. Two pieces of magic however, mostly sti...

Alternate Granny Sketch Cut

Here's an alternate version of the Granny version, with a different beginning, hope you enjoy.

Set Tour - Hollywood Exec Office kind of

See if you can spot the movie scene set we were trying to emulate.

A Press Release from 2012....

This is a press release from a show we did in 2012, twelve years ago. It's safe to say, we wouldn't write anything like this today.... My god, I can't believe we sent anything like this out to actual newspapers. Outrageous. Anyway, I thought it was worth sharing. Don't judge too harshly...

Live Stream Update Today at 3pm (Irish)

Yes more notice would of course have been better, but surely an improvement on the last few zero notice live streams? See ya then if you can make, if not it will of course be available for watch back. Will post the link on Patreon at 3pm.

Set tour and Smashing Glass Recording :-)

Little tour of our Squatters Climate Change set. The shakiest most dangerous set we've ever leaned against itself. (House of Cards Set Design LTD)

We also needed some real glass smashing for the windows line in the sketch, we decided we get a real authentic sound rather than comb the sfx libraries. In-room recordings always sound more real.

The Update Live!

Foil and Arms jumping on to give a quick update on what we've been up to and what we've got coming up.

Can anyone guess the sketch we are about to film?

Sometimes when you order costumes online they turn up a lot more plasticky than you expect. We were very proud of the set for this one, less so the costumes, although to be fair Foil looks he'd have his vengeance in this life or the next.

Photo Dump!

By now you may be aware that I (Foil) am a big fan of the colour card. I use it to help grade the sketches and get the different cameras we use matching up... I'm still learning. Over the past year whenever I think of it I've been taking screen grabs and storing them away. Seeing as we didn't get to do the weekly update (as we were travelling back from a weekend of gigs in Paris & Zurich ((they were amazing, we had a blast))) I thought I'd offer this as way of apology!

Also, I foun...

Behind the Scenes of the New Show Photo Shoot

Our photo shoot for the new show has begun... Much less colder than all of the previous Edinburgh shoots which have all been outside in February... Brrrrrrr! So nice to not be guerning into the ice cold wind off the coast of Ireland while your eyes water from the strain which then ruins the photo. 

Weekly Update!

Some big news in the office today...
