Michael Wright & Green Thing — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:46:07 PST

And remember, as Chef says: "It does not have to be pretty, it just has to work." Featuring the hands of Marc Danbury, the lighting of Richard Laing, the camera support of Stuart Bunce, the post production of Magic Films, the dulcet tones of Daniel Lapaine and the writing and directing skills of Michael Wright from an original recipe by Green Thing.

The Making Of Glove Love

Holly Broughton — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:37:52 PDT

"The idea for glove love started all the way back in January. We have put a lot of thought, time and love into creating what we think is a pretty great product and a perfect example of All-Consuming - the art of wasting nothing and using up everything. We hope this slideshow will show you just how much love we've put into glove love." -- Holly

Lonely Gloves

Paul Rider — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:39:20 PDT

Lonely Gloves

View more presentations from Green Thing.

Photographer Paul Rider was so struck by the waste that is lonely gloves. So struck in fact, he was moved to start pointing and shooting. â€œI saw the first one hanging on the railings by the crossing at the side off the road. I donâ€™t think it had fallen there; it had been found and put there. When they find a lost glove on the ground, people have an instinct to put it somewhere where it can be seen, rescued and re-paired. I took its photograph. Over the next few days, as my lonely glove awareness grew, I saw more and more gloves and took more and more photographs. They were in restaurants, in the street, in puddles and on Deal pier. In Tescoâ€™s car park in York they were legion. Thereâ€™s always something sad and vulnerable about a lost lonely glove because gloves are meant to be paired for life. It prompts you to ask where the other half is and how they came to be separated.â€*

Twisted Kate, Sticky Moss

Unit 10 Collective — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 08:02:17 PDT

Take one person and make her the ultimate twister, taking every chance to consume something new. Now take the same person and make them the ultimate sticker, sticking with what they had wherever possible. How different would their lives be? That was question that the talented animators David Altweger, Mira Loew, Guillaume Cornet of Unit 10 Collective (<a href="http://www.unit10collective.com">www.unit10collective.com</a>) wanted to explore - with one super-ironic twist. What if that person was the world's premier consumption temptress, a certain Katherine Ann Moss? The result is a brilliant slice of double stop frame fantasy exclusive to Green Thing. David, Mira and Guillaume were given fabulous musical assistance by the brilliant people of Elmore Judd. The Sticky Kate music is by Jesse Hackett with Louis Hackett, Tom Skinner and Shabaka Hutchings featuring the voiceover talent of Jessie Mills. The Twisted Kate music is by Jesse Hackett with Tom Kenyatta's production, graced by Jessie's voice over again. And after-effects and flash cleverness were provided by Aaron Trinder, Steven Qua and Debbie Brooks. Huge twisted/sticky thanks to them all

Miserable Green Git

Rob Manuel — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:05:46 PDT

His name is Rob, he hates the taste of animals, he hates saddos with too many gadgets and he hates his mother for always nagging him to drive up and see her. He is the man who does all the right things but for all the wrong reasons. Play his video confession - and yes he does eat his cat.

Green Thing compilation

Green Thing — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:01:49 PDT

A few edits from year 1. of Creativity Vs. Climate Change.

Plug Out Boy feat. Green Monday

Ricky Martin — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:06:16 PDT

Stand by for Plug Out Boy. Created by the brilliant and brilliantly-named animator Ricky Martin (http://www.rickymartinshortfilms.co.uk), Plug Out Boy is a boy on a non-power trip to Plug Out everything that shouldn't be on. That he is a line drawing on post-it notes sticking to walls shouldn't obscure the fact that he is a hero we should all try and be like. This version of Plug Out Boy is set to an exquisitely plugged-out track, Green Monday. If you'd like to set Plug Out Boy to another plugged-out track, maybe your own genius plugged-out creation, then download the silent version, overdub and upload it.

Stay Grounded (Tea and Toast) By Tom Williams

Tom Williams — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:19:34 PDT

A fantastic song by Tom Williams and Guy Denning from Tom Williams And The Boat that manages to be sad, hopeful, beautiful and funny all at the same time. What's annoying about Tom is that he seems to be able to do almost anything brilliantly and easily. What's great about Tom is that he's making a habit of doing it for Green Thing. Huge thanks to him and Guy.

Stay Grounded

Point Blank — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:42:24 PDT

This video was inspired by a trip to Kew on a beautiful day lying in the green grass looking up at the trees and having the peace and the beauty shredded by the obscene amount of planes cutting through the blue sky of London and the hideous noise pollution they created. We wanted to show the planes leaving, instead of white vapour trails, a more indelible mark on the earth . . . constant scars and reminders of the damage they creating to the earth's atmosphere. Then one beautiful crisp clear blue sky morning we headed to West London to film as many planes as we could from every angle and green space we could find around Heathrow Airport. We then set about editing a minute's worth of planes and graphic lines, ending with a graphic sequence that illustrates the thousands of planes that litter our sky every minute of every day. The icing on the cake was the music by James Yeomans using the Brian Eno I-phone application Bloom - bloody genius! Enjoy. Written and directed by Steve Wallington with filming, editing and after effects by the multi talented Jim Yeomans. Also a big thank you to Antoine & Stuart @ Point Blank

Green Thing Presents Body-Shaped Insulation

Green Thing — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:45:49 PDT

It's freezing cold but you know full well that too much heating burns our future. What do you do? Use Body-Shaped Insulation of course, an ingenious idea from Green Thing. Featuring the animation talents of Tom Baker, the vocal talents of Aaron Willmer and the ivory-tinkling talents of Marc Folan. And see if you can hear the five christmas classics hidden in the jazz soundtrack.

Josie Long Gets All-Consuming

Green Thing — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:51:46 PDT

As Josie Long moved into her new flat, Green Thing challenged her to All-Consume her old things rather than throw them away. So mustering all her â€˜cardboard engineeringâ€™ canniness, the award-winning comedian turned her storage boxes into coffee table brilliance - and used an old picture of David Seaman while she was at it. Now that's talent.

Mister Glovey All-Consumes His Jam

Michael Wright — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:23:48 PDT

On the plus side, he's brilliantly green. On the minus side, he's an asshole. Mister Glovey is directed by Michael Wright and lit by Stuart Bunce - but for how long? Mister Glovey chews up directors for breakfast.

To The End Of The Pencil And The Edge Of The Page

Green Thing — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:05:09 PDT

A video in which a very talented friend of Green Thing, the brilliant illustrator Guillaume Cornet, demonstrates some creative All-Consuming by using up every last bit of a pencil on every last bit of a page and producing a perfect piece of pencil psychedelia in the process. Special thanks are due to Matt Curtis, Steven Qua, Tom Baker, Oliver Smith and Judy Goldhill for their cameras, stands, animation, end titles and long suffering patience - but most of all to Monsieur Guil. We are not worthy.

Glow In The Dark Thing

Matt Lipsey & TBWA — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 23:25:58 PDT

Written by the kind and talented people at TBWA London (tbwa-london.com) and directed by Matt Lipsey (feelfilms.co.uk/ml1.html) of Little Britain fame, this video shows the lengths one man is prepared to go to in his quest to have fun in the dark. Special effects? Naah. The man studied appendage dance and mime for a year so he could do those amazing things with his Green Thing. Try them them at home, but be careful.

Meet Green Thing

Green Thing — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:47:33 PDT

Green Thing has two mouths and three eyes but five pairs of talented hands created this video. The sublime penning hands of Andrew Rae who designed the brilliant characters; the subtle 12-frames-per-second hands of Tom Baker who created the deft animation as well as the veggie girlfriend and the driving temptress;the skilled motion graphics hands of Oliver Smith who created the moving logo at the end; the ten tinkling fingers of Marc Folan who created "Kind of Green," the suave Green Thing theme; and the laid back vocal talents of Aaron Willmer who used both his hands to hold the script. Huge thanks to them all.

Walking Fingers

Danny Cohen — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 08:40:43 PDT

"I wanted to make walking fun. For it to look effortless, adventurous and romantic - but all through a pair of fingers. So the search for the right pair of fingers began. I auditioned more than two hundred pairs. Film and TV stars were asking to play the role but they were acting too much with it. Finally I found the right pair on a man called Justin. The lady fingers are Helen's, she's the H in HLA, the production company who made it all happen. Myself and a fine chap called Dominic made all the sets with paper, scissors and sticky-back plastic. Hope you like the video, and hope it makes you want to walk ..." -- Danny

Mary and Joe

Ben and Greg — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 14:13:56 PDT

Jesus was born in a simple manger in a bare stable in Bethlehem. Perhaps this was because Mary and Joseph knew that it just would have been wrong to surround God's son with the conspicuous consumption that defines many peoples lives today. Perhaps every now and again we can choose to revel in the glory of an old thing rather than a new thing, and do the planet a favour too With huge thanks to Partizan, London

Winterwarm

Superhero — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:26:38 PDT

Play — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:06:25 PDT

When it comes to body warmth we could learn a thing or two from penguins. So thought the people at Play (http://www.playwithus.co.uk), so starting an adventure that led them to the deepest Antarctic where they spent many months making this powerful and moving wildlife documentary.

Devious MacBook Air commercial

Mac Man MacManaman — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:46:59 PDT

Make no mistake i think apple and their computers are AWESOME after all I made my video on my old mac which I love. I just don't like the way they use devius tricks to make you think you need there newest product and you have to have it and you are not cool unless you spend your thousands of bucks to buy it. I don't have the macbook air and no one says I'm not cool.

Recycled/Reborn with Jesse Hackett

Firecracker — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:52:51 PDT

Jesse Hackett aka Elmore Judd goes to a recycling centre, picks up some random bits of metal and wood, uses them to make some amazing instruments and then uses them to make some amazing music. Filmed by the talented, willing and helpful people at Firecracker Films.

Recycled/Reborn with Laura Barton

Firecracker — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 23:30:17 PDT

Guardian journo and interviewer extraordinaire Laura Barton takes a walk through the city of London and finds some thrown-away papers and magazines which she recycled into a poem. And even more impressively, it's great. Filmed by the talented, willing and helpful people at Firecracker Films and featuring music is by Graeme Miller -- cleverly recycled from last October's Green Thing. commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/laura_barton/ www.firecrackerfilms.com

Recycled/Reborn with Glimpse

Glimpse — Sun, 17 May 2009 12:28:53 PDT

Swedish art collective Glimpse make some dazzling garb out of some tawdry garbage. The clothes could have been rubbish but actually they're brilliant and the circuit board waistcoat is of genius. But will the Swedish public wear them?

Noodle Remixed

Michael Wright — Sun, 31 May 2009 04:53:29 PDT

A second installation by Michael Wright featuring no noodles, one laptop, two monitors, a face sliced in three, a Japanese accent and another sucking pun. Michael Wright each shot in one take only for minimum production suction.

Tears Of A Cloud

Barney Howells — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:41:47 PDT

It's like the emperor's new clothes. Mineral water does untold environmental damage, tastes exactly like tap water and costs 1000 times as much. And yet sad gullible people across the world fall for the mineral water myth and think they're buying something crucial to their health or self-esteem when they're not. Someone's gotta tell 'em the emperor's got nothing on -- and that someone is Barney Howells from Partizan London who made this very funny and slightly cruel video for Green Thing. Enjoy.

The Riddle Of The Noodle

Michael Wright — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 08:41:22 PDT

Green Thing friend Michael Wright of Hibiki Films (http://www.hibikifilms.com/) wanted to create an installation that sucked so he bought four bags of extension leads and plugs and found a studio in which to create his art-meets-sci-fi noodle creation. Edited by Matt Dollings at Partizan (http://www.partizan.com) and featuring stirring theramin by Graeme Miller (http://www.artsadmin.co.uk/projects/artist.php?id=46). Sucking good stuff.

Recycled/Reborn with Tristan Eaton

Chris Coots — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 07:52:28 PDT

Toymaker Tristan Eaton of Thunderdog Studios and Kidrobot fame finds a bunch of thrown away saw blades, zappers, knives and a water bottles and turns them into a quite magnificent Recycled/Reborn Green Thing toy thing.

We Want Tap

Provokateur — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:08:53 PDT

Had enough of the bottled water industry? Here's a refreshing little animation from Tap, a campaign promoting tap water. To find out more, visit www.wewanttap.com

Western Spaghetti

PES — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 06:42:44 PDT

Fancy All-Consuming those everyday household objects like a Rubikâ€™s Cube, Post-It notes or a ball of string? Try cooking a plate of spaghetti then. Itâ€™ll taste better if you eat it in stop-motion too. Delicious film-making by PES (Adam Pesapane).

Recycled / Reborn with Denton Rose

Denton Rose — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:00:29 PDT

Nashvilleâ€™s finest paranormal investigator and Green Thing friend Dennis recycles some cans, a cat and has a theory about Americans and why they each get through seven trees a year in paper products. And like many great theories, he has this one on the toilet. www.mindsplintersfilms.com

And a watery Green Thing hug to Olivia of Joy for stepping forward in the first place. www.triffic.co.uk www.voodookazoo.com www.joyfilmsusa.com/joy_rsa

A Short Sharp Shower with Denton Rose

Denton Rose — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:07:12 PDT

Denton Rose, the internetâ€™s most famous paranormal investigator, tilts his quiff at another Green Thing, this time showers. Problem: Denton needs to work his â€˜pectorialsâ€™ into shape to get the girls. Next problem: working out means sweating up. Next problem: sweating up means showering down. Next problem: how do you shower down and save water? Donâ€™t worry, Denton has the answer.

Short Sharp Shower Deck

Michael Wright — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 03:03:45 PDT

Short Sharp Shower Deck was thought up and shot by talented Green Thing friend Michael Wright (www.hibikifilms.com). It was lit by Stuart Bunce and features the music of The Meanies (http://www.myspace.com/themeenies). When discussing how the hands should act, Wright was very specific. "They should have the panache of Tony Hart and the confidence of Rachmaninov." A Partizan-Hibiki Films production.

Denton Rose Goes Easy On The Meat

Denton Rose — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:05:40 PDT

Featuring Denton Rose, the internet's top Elvis-wig-wearing paranormal investigator, this incisive piece about the meat issue also features a lion, a club sandwich and a turkey talking turkey. When Denton does it, he does it like no one else.

Royale with cheese eat your heart out. Directed and animated by Kethi Copeland, words and music by Naresh Ramchandani - and bold american v/o by Peggah Khashian, Jason Stanard & Daniel Lapaine.

Lifts Are Not F.A.B

Michael Wright — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 04:23:16 PDT

To illustrate the considerable dangers of lifts, Michael Wright not only reused some old bits of polyboard and silver spray to make a skyscraper, lift shaft and lift, he reused some old bits of airfix for the props, two old marionettes to be the lift victims and one of those victims to be the evil lift-cord cutter. The result: a tremendous piece of psychological insight about lifts and why you should doubt them big time. Music by the very talented Aaron Paul Low of Sacred noise, produced by the very kind Partizan.

Touching the Stairs

Michael Wright — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:37:08 PDT

Stair-climbers James, Jo and Pete risk their lives by trying to reach the third floor. It's a story of guts and sacrifice; a story of genuine heroes who don't know the meaning of the word 'lift' - or do they? Thanks to the brilliant Michael Wright who wrote and directed the whole bloomin' thing, and to Partizan London who kindly produced it. Director Michael Wright lovingly recreated this famous story of a harrowing climb to the 3rd floor of an office block. James is played by Rob Whitelock, Pete by Euan Wilson and the tragic character of Jo is played by Amy Whitehouse. The hugely atmospheric music was written by Michael Mertens and the video was produced and post-produced by Partizan London. Thankfully, no cast or crew were injured during the making of this hazardous video.

Granny Wrap

Ben and Greg of Partizan London — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:20:44 PST

Dear Green Thing, if you wrap a granny, do you need to use porous wrapping paper? Regards, Janet Mapplethorpe. Dear Janet, the granny is meant as a metaphor for an old phone or ipod or typewriter or book or jacket or hat or long playing record, but if you do want to give a granny for Xmas, yes, use porous wrapping paper. Love from Green Thing. by Ben and Greg of Partizan London

Old Thing Slideshow

Green Thing — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:07:22 PDT

Some people have very deep feelings for their old things. If you're one of those people, upload a picture of your old thing, tell us why you care for it and we'll add it to our slideshow. The very beautiful soundtrack, literally complete with bells and whistles, was written especially for Green Thing by talented New York-based composer and sound designer Michael Montes. (http://www.michaelmontes.com/) Many many thanks to him and to the people who've already sent in their pictures to get the slideshow off to such a good start. To be continued . . .

Constellations

Steven Qua — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:35:28 PDT

If you turn your lights off and look at it, the night sky is basically one giant dot-to-dot. The ancients joined those dots to make things they thought were important such as water-carriers and lions. Green Thing has joined up those dots to make things that are far more important today -- things like salty snacks and great Arsenal goals.

Gusty And Ford

Steven Qua — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 01:28:20 PDT

This film is about the way you see more when you walk - in this case, the way you look at road signs. I didn't drive anywhere to shoot any of these road signs. Most of them I walked to and one of them was in Norway and turned out to be quite a long walk especially carrying a camera. I didn't do it all, the music is by Marc Folan and the voiceover is Paul Berczeller. If you like the video then why don't you take some shots of some road signs, make your own one and upload it.xxx

Grasses

Naresh and Stuart Delves — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 04:32:30 PDT

It's a poem by Stuart Delves all about grasses and when Naresh heard it he thought it would be good to go to some grassy spaces and shoot photos of a friend's foot and cut it all together to the poem with a nice beat. So that's what he did. Hope you like it.

Le Promenade Libre (Free Walking)

Aaron, Will and Craig — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 07:01:36 PDT

A mystery man in baggy pants and hoody freewalks the walk around London. Who is he? Someone who knows better than to take the car, thatâ€™s who. Shot and edited by the ever-talented Aaron, Will and Craig for Green Thing without Green Thing even asking. Nice. Huge thanks to them - and to the mystery freewalker...

Star Guitar

The Chemical Brothers — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:21:38 PDT

An excerpt from Michel Gondry's treatment sums up the genius of this video: "Every sound from the track will be illustrated by an element of the landscape that appears each time that sound is heard. As the song becomes more elaborate, we will create a more and more complex landscape." See it more than once. Superb.
