Trapped on Mousa: the WORST film...

Directed, Written, Edited & Enjoyed by:

Lorcan Henry

Starring:

• Aidan Nicol
• Chris Halcrow
• Mhairi McNeill
• Joe Christie
• Max Tyler

We're sorry, very sorry. You have to understand - this film was just a big mistake waiting to happen... four friends trapped on Mousa; they all die horrifically in a Final Destination-esque style. At least their dead now, no chance for a sequel!

Fun facts

We woke up at 3am to film Masks. After this we had to finish Stallion Head and then went to St Ninian's (and later Mousa) to make this film. You have to understand how tired we were, explaining the poor quality

This film began with the plot premise of aliens using Mousa Broch as a base for their evil activities - and a war with trowies and other such thing happening. Unfortunately (or luckily) we didn't have time. :(

The Note

Directed:

Lorcan Henry

Starring:

Seiko

One of our older films, which premiered at Screenplay 2007.

Fun fact

This was made in one take, a few days before the film festival deadline. Deadlines really promote film making!

La Parapluie Rose (The Pink Umbrella)

Directed:

• Aidan Nicol

Starring:

• Roseanne Watt
• Jenny Watt

Music:

'All things change' Jane Taylor

Sometimes even something simple can make you a hero in someone's eyes.

Fun Facts

Cara had to pour water on Jenny (the tiny girl) and said that it was awful - I felt so bad :( Jenny still seems to like us though, so it's all good!

The original edit included a shot of the moon at the end. It supposedly symbolised feminism - but then we realised that it's not important :p

Pork 'n' Beans

Directed:

Cara McDiarmid

Starring:

• Lorcan Henry
• Chris Halcrow

Maddrim's first attempt at stop motion animation - made over the course of 2 days. Will Lorcan ever get his pork 'n' beans back??

Fun facts

This film has 2928 still pictures in it, and it yet still only 1:22 long! We'll never make a full length Stop motion..!

Stallion Head: Protector of the Neighhhhbourhood

Written, Directed and Edited

Chris Halcrow

Starring:

• Chris Halcrow
• Jason Gray
• Roseanne Watt
• Cara McDiarmid
• Aidan Nicol
• Mhairi McNeill
• Lorcan Henry

Stallion Head is not your everyday superhero - he's a little rubbish infact... Can he rescue the residents of Horse City from Thobin Mine the evil life insurance salesman?

Fun facts

The pony actually bit Chris on his leg. Suffering for his art! :p

The horse mask was bought in Sendai in Japan and managed to travel all the way to Shetland.

The blood mixture was mainly milk and red food colouring — next time we plan on looking up a more professional fake blood recipe... Lorcan also didn't wash his jacket and wore it to the Screenplay festival.

Masks

A short film we made for Screenplay 2008. The film examines the destruction of identity that can result from drug misuse.

Fun Facts!

We were put on ITV because of this, though it was a bit rubbish cause they twisted everything we meant and wanted to say into "Shetland has a drug problem". Darn!

To get the street empty, we all stayed at Lorcan's house then went out on the street at 3am. After filming this we had to go and film some of Stallion Head, Trapped on Mousa and "The Running Film". It was quite a painful day!

Amanda Palmer (the singer and piano player in the song) mentioned this in her blog. She said:
