When my PS3 finally gave up the ghost earlier in the year after a valiant effort to save it, I thought rather than just dump it I could make a smash it up video. Catasta being Catasta couldn't leave it at that of course, far too easy but wanted to give the whole reason for the smashing up of the console some social context.

That context came with the riots that spread throughout London and then across many of the major cities in the country.

  • nicely done, very good editing, I'm glad to see you keep on experimenting. by the way, I keep on working on our burning dress :)

  • @KINZOisHERE thanks Kinzo, now if only I knew anything about music I would have a go at that too but, I shall leave that in your good hands. Looking forward to the burning dress

  • Different for you, but with your touches. Kill your consoles!

  • @divamissz thanks Zelda, just wanted to try something a little different and see how things would turn out

  • A totally different video for you.Not of your usual style but I have to say that you have always been very creative .I definitely love the rubber with the goggles .What an amazing outfit.It kind of has that alien look about it .First time also seeing the horrors that resulted in the rioting that day in UK.This video had a very paralyzing affect about it.Excellent job Cat.

  • @Lady0nline Thanks Lady. Yeah it was a bit different for me. I wanted to try and make a commentary about how much of the riots concerned the fact that it wasn't politically orientated but rather fuelled by a desire to attain those symbols that represent success in Britain today, the gizmos, fancy trainers, games consoles. Hence I check the health of my PS3 and find it so sick that I decide it must be destroyed. The next film is the actual destruction.

  • @sharky101 yeah Abe is the characters name if I remember right - love him

  • @cabbageboiled50 thankyou, the next one should be a bit more straight forward (haven't decided yet) but is me destroying the PS3, a real smash it up vid for those who like that type of thing

  • I was trying to think of a character you reminded me of and then it came to me. You look like the aqua guy from the Hell Boy film, that was a cool character.

  • that is a cool mask. i like to boots too. another great video.
