You know how Apple Watches are kind of ugly?

Wait ‘til you get a load of this absolute fucking monstrosity.

It’s a nice rush of festival screenings for us at the moment. A great, varied spread of titles too! Very pleased to have been involved in all three of these (first two played at LFF and Dolly will be at Frightfest!)

A while ago I was asked to design and make a mask for a new slasher, based on a pretty well set concept…
If you’re at Sitges tonight you can see them on the big screen in the European premiere of Dolly!

I strongly recommend a a lemon pathos near a small corbel with a lava lamp on a smart switch in your kitchen. It’s a nice vibe.

Pages 8-10 (of ten) of my unmade Rogue Trooper short.

Stil, maybe I can get onto a Strontium Dog project!!

In excited anticipation of @manmademoon.bsky.social Rogue Trooper movie, i thought I’d share a short script I wrote for an ultimately never-to-be, proof of concept Rogue Trooper origin movie. Still pretty pleased with it tbh.

Horrifying.

Absolute chaos over at Apple Music.

Great curation, guys.
June 24, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Great job, Chitubox, I’m sure that’ll do!

I love this.

I find it hilarious that it’s the only song that’s just in English.

The apostrophisation of “it’s” makes it feel more weary than annoyed, which I find delightful.

I wonder how many errors occurred before they decided they needed a sign…

Getting into this gritty, urban reboot of Shadow Of the Colossus but do think I bonded more with Argo than I have with Hyundai Kona, so far, at least…

Guess that’ll make it easier for me later…

What a great tip. Thanks!

I made a thing.

Well, this is a great reaction!

We made loads of dummies, bodies and body part puppets for Gen-Z.
This is the breathing, bleeding torso puppet for Robert Lindsey‘s self surgery scene. We had prosthetic versions, to match in the wides but the depth of excavation necessitate the puppet. I designed this skin to be wearable, too.

And here is a video taken by Silicone Department supervisor Angela Coffey of us testing with the dummy would stand up right and of engineering supervisor Elliot Lidgey performing a finally calibrated test to make sure it would move like a body when falling.

Here’s a second shot of the body caught under the wheels, grabbed as the last shot of the night.
Getting that roll under the car, without the body just squishing, is tricky but very satisfying when it works. All the limbs have to be jointed correctly and the little spray of blood is a treat.

Here’s a wide of the first impact of one of our “knock/down” bodies. This was for Gen-Z and was used with a quick edit, though they can be used with a VFX transition, too.
It’s a careful balance making a dummy that will stand unsupported, deform realistically and not destroy the vehicle.

Astonishingly, all the way up at #7, worse than both cock and bollocks, apparently!
April 27, 2025 at 1:14 PM
Bollocks in at 24 (so close) and Smeg is indeed one of the made up swears at 31!

Shit is indeed asterisked but there are 5 below it.

Piss is indeed un-asterisked but there are 2 above it.

Very good guessing!

Thanks for taking part. You still get your souvenir loaf of bread.
April 27, 2025 at 9:33 AM
Cock.
#14.
7% very offensive
27% fairly offensive
1% don’t know
38% not very offensive
27% not offensive at all

9 places more offensive than our target word at position #23!
April 27, 2025 at 9:26 AM
You gov have done a survey of how offensive British people find different swear words.
Given there are no slurs in the list, I thought it might be fun to turn it into a game.
See if you can guess number 23 (as it’s kind of in the middle).
April 27, 2025 at 7:34 AM
Here are some weapons and gag-props I’ve designed over the years.
In order: a hatchet to the back from Seize Them, a breakable ornamental shield from Double Date, a surgical drill from the live Inside No. 9 show and the “6 of Swords” death rig from Tarot.
I always enjoy these!
