Making Meatballs

This is a "making of" video for my Meatballs video, showing exactly how seriously i take myself, even on the most ludicrous of creative endeavours.

It shows how with the help of my friend Stephen and my Mum, i made my entry to the Adam & Joe Video wars competition (on BBC 6Music) which was voted runner up:

... and which even graced the screens of the British Film Institute Southbank cinema, as part of Adam Buxton's ongoing BUG music video events:

It's a parody of Radiohead's weird and wonderful music video for No Surprises, in case you were wondering:

Thanks everyone, you're making my head so big it won't fit in the fishbowl any more.

(Just to clarify, my ears don't really stick out like a gremlins, it's the water in the bowl that makes me look like that!)

how did you do the reflected autocue text?

[tokenfilms]

You can do it with Final Cut or After Effects:

Scrolling text, flipped back to front, with a bit of warping to make it look curved. Also a bit of blur!

[tokenfilms]

It's called "Meatballs" by Joe Cornish. It was part of a competition i entered on the Adam & Joe BBC 6Music radio show. (See the link "Video Wars: The Meatball Song" just under the video window above).
