50 Films and a Happy New Year!

Hello again!

well as I mentioned with last weeks blog, the latest video on our YouTube account would be our 50th film! The film is now officially online and we hope you watch and enjoy it!

We shall be uploading a new video soon celebrating the 50th film, giving special thanks and a little montage of every film we've created from September 2007 all the way to December 2010, including big projects, small projects, college projects and university projects.

Overall, it's been pretty awesome making all these films, telling all these different stories with so many different characters. Here's to the next 50! (and of course a Happy New Year too).

An Upcoming Milestone

Hello everybody!

Next week will be the debut of our short film "Finding Santa", a silly little story about 2 teenagers trying to prove Santa Claus is real.

However, the film is quite an important film, as it marks our 50th film! In 39 months, FOW Pictures has created 50 films, ranging from 1 minute to 1 hour, from comedies to dramas to even horrors. We've done the lot.

This is a huge achievement for everybody involved in the crew, as each person played a key part to getting this far. From starting out as a media studies project to working with Ray Winstone and Jack Huston... this whole thing has snowballed massivly, and because of that, I hope you will all join in with the many things we have planned for the event!

While you wait, please check out one of our Bolex films, this one is called "Late" and is about a young man who is late for work.

And don't forget to keep an eye out on the YouTube page for "Finding Santa" - FOW Pictures' 50th Film!

Bolex Projects

Wow, once again a lack of weekly updates. I should stay on top of this.

Well the major news is that 3 news films will be hitting the internet this December. 2 Of them are from the bolex projects that we worked on in early Novermber.

The final one is a film called "Finding Santa" which is the third film in the Liam and Tom saga.

We're also starting work on our next project currently named "Deadline", which is about 3 university students and the approach of an essays deadline. That will be online in late January.

Of course, like always, we have many more videos and films being made over the Christmas period, so keep watching.

Also, keep an eye out on this blog for a blog about the 1 year anniversary of the start of FOW vs WMG.

Cooling Down The Hot Potato

So The Hot Potato has wrapped filming this past week, and it's been increasable being on set.

Myself and Jonny Hodgetts were down there for 3 days, and we met all the cast and crew like Ray and Lois Winstone aswell as Jack Huston too. We took tons of pictures and made a lot of contacts with the possibility of getting more work in the next few months. Not bad for some 20 year old kids hey?

But enough about that, let's talk about our brand new web-series "The Hot Sauce Guys", in it, me and Jonny decide to try and eat a tea spoon of hot sauces of all verities. In the first episode we tackle some Nando's "Peri peri BBQ sauce". Check out the results!

Late To London?

Nah not really, but the words have specific meaning.

Firstly, our short film "Late", which was the first film we've worked on to be shot on 16mm on a Bolex camera, has wrapped filming this past week. It is now officially in the post production stage, with it's online debut being a couple of weeks away!

Secondly, next week, myself and Jonny shall be finally heading up to London to work as camera grips and runners on the film "The Hot Potato" starring Ray Winstone. This is huge for us as it's a big budget British movie that plans to Premier at the Sundance film festival next summer, and with a lot of powerful names in the uk film industry, we shall be doing our best to establish contacts within the industry. This shall hopefully be the first of many big budget pieces of work we'll be working on.

But do not worry, we shall not forget our internet viewers. Here is our 46th film, a parody of all 4 Jaws movies all in 1 minute.

Work Slowing Down

Hello again.

Some people may have noticed that the blog hasn't been updated, as well as having 2 of the 3 hosts of The Suplah missing and other odd things.

Well it's because we're back at University and things are hectic.

Once things are sorted out, we should be back on track, just stick around.

Liam
