GIVE THE FINGER TO WINTER! - Director Lars Schuy - 4 mins On Saturday night, September 20th 2003, Brighton's Laptop Jams raised a collective digit(al) to winter with the world's first Wi-Fi Beach Jam. Webcast live to the world from Brighton beach, it used the unique Pier2pier.net wireless network to unleash the output of six synched laptops on an unsuspecting internet. To the uninitiated, Laptop-Jams might sound like a sticky residue found on a businessman's trousers after a visit to Spearmint Rhino, but in fact they sound more like eeeeeeeeoooowwww! whump! whump! dogger! dogger! scccccrrrreeeeekow! doompf!!! Well, that's what their Press Release says. The last bit was German, by the way. This fascinating film captures the excitement and weirdness of the event and poses the ultimate question: are they Geek or Chic? It also features a great soundtrack of original ambient funk and some stunning laptop-driven images. For more information about Laptop Jams, visit: www.laptop-jams.com |
![]() | THE ADVENTURES OF BLUE - Director Herve Rebolj - 3 minutes This ultra-low
budget animation from a French film-maker (and chef) currently based in Brighton
is a satire on modern life that combines original music, hand drawings and clay-mation
to hilarious effect. The film reveals what happens when a high-tech yuppie crosses
the path of super-cool dinosaur with a warped sense of humour. |

BORDER CROSSING (Directors Cut) - Director Mark Jay - 4 mins Brighton director Mark Jay has re-edited his latest MV specially for Final Cut which now includes previously unseen material. The video features West London Hip Hop outfit, Border Crossing, with guest artist JEHST on MC duties. Filmed in a West London boxing gym, Alias has a distinctly Raging Bull feel with burlesque card-girls and a gangsta contingent. It also features Chris Eubanks twin brothers, Peter and Simon, as robot boxers in a Robot Wars-style game played by band members. The single was released last month.

RODS & MOCKERS - Director Chris Daw - 4 mins Clever,
funny and original music-based animation remembering and sending-up the famous
bun-fights between rival gangs of two-wheeled enthusiasts on Brighton beach in
the mid 60s. Yes, that's almost 40 years ago! Great soundtrack from The
Who. |

COLLECTORS OF WOOD STREET - Director Mark Windows - 13 mins Since
its bustling heyday in the 1970s, Walthamstow's unique Collectors Centre
has declined to the point where it barely survives. Nowadays, only a few traders
and eccentrics remain in this almost forgotten part of East London. One of them
(left) owns a record stall and his prodigious musical memory is able to come up
with the song title and artist of any (vinyl) record - 45 or 33 rpm - merely by
being given its catalogue number. |
![]() | BOGLIFE - Director Will Jewell - 15 mins This fast-paced and genuinely quirky film charts the descent of a nightclub toilet from a clean happy hygenic commode to a vomit-stained, shit-caked den of drugs and cheap sex. Set during the early 90's rave scene, it has a great soundtrack of original songs, fantastic costumes and is full of 'period' detail. It'll make you squirm, it'll make you flinch... it will make you wonder why you ever went a night club!

![]() | SOCK - Director Sean Baldwin - 5 mins One man's bizarre relationship with
a troublesome sock leads him on a surreal journey to his local launderette. |
![]() | JUMPIN' PILLS - Director Herve Rebolj - 3 mins New animated MV from the director
of Adventures of Blue. This one is set in a surreal electronic world
mysteriously resembling the inside of an old TV set and concerns the rescue of
a lonely 'pill' from certain death. Fast, furious and very funny, it features
loads of dodgy special effects and knock-out music from Brighton's DJ-prave. |
![]() | GOOD TIMES - Director Ste Mcgregor - 4 mins elcome return of this excellent
computer animated MV from local animator, Ste Mcgregor. It promotes a recent single
from Brighton band, The Lifters. |

TRANSCENDIA - Director: Daniel Williams - 11 mins Transcendia is a journey into and beyond India, supporting the music of Temple Hedz (Brighton-based producer, Paul Savery), a hot new name in global and electronic music. This extended MV is a fascinating montage of images comparing the urban and natural worlds that was shot in London, Brighton and India. It also includes footage of this year's anti-Iraq war march.

THE 12.37 TO LITTLEHAMPTON - Director: Lucy Ball - 4 mins Rdiculously
low budget commuter-nightmare tale from local animator, Lucy Ball. Using original
music by Jim Robertson ('a friend of mine'), she proves that
a good idea, well executed, is worth thousands (of pounds). |

NOTHING IS WRONG - Director: Steve McGregor - 4 mins The latest MV
from Brighton animator, Steve McGregor, in which he refines the computer techniques
first seen in his previous video, Good Times, which is also in tonight's
programme. This one promotes the third release by F.C. Kahuna from
their Machine Says Yes album, released at the end of July. |
