New video tonight, an official music video for Cyrus Gabrysch

Click to see - In The Chapel Of All Kinds Of Things

A return to the Sylvanian world!  With a duck vicar pushing leaflets through
the village doors in order to promote the family fun day !

"Songs of road trips, surreal maladies, preachers' rants, requited love songs
and drunken revelry in dingy bars with a reckless swing towards Gypsy, Motown and Gospel."

A great song and album from Cyrus.  You can buy this track and the album via this link -

Not too much more work to do on Empire 30th Celebration.

Bits of leaves all over the floor at the moment though.
Still, makes a change from the bits of fake snow and
polystyrene I've had on the floor for the last few weeks
recreating Hoth!

Another new movie is complete,
Action Man : Pound Shop Snooker Championship

 click here to see it !

Filmed in just 7 days, this film sees an Action Man and a GI Joe face off against each other on a
non-regulation snooker table from the Pound Shop.   Featuring a minimal amount of red balls,
a table that is too large and a slight alteration in the rules, it is possibly the first ever Action
Man Snooker movie !

Halo : The Toy Wars 2 is now live, click here to see it !

Film #88 and our first movie of 2010 is done and uploaded,

For this movie I wanted to create something using a single set,
hopefully giving more focus to the two characters.
