Keroche is a documentary we are making for our dissertation film, we first came across it in June when Gary Lamb contacted us telling us about the story – we soon fell in love with it. 5 months and few weeks later we have launched our kickstarter campaign to help us tell this story in [...]
On the 16th September Pat ran the Great North Run, a very tough but rewarding half marathon for the children hospice Zoe’s Place. We met Pat at Edinburgh and discussed what we could do for him and after a great day the day after the Great North Run we produced this short documentary advertising this [...]
It has been a while since we last posted on here, merely due to how busy we have been so really we should say happy New Year. From David coming runner up in the Reflect film competition to recently being shortlisted in the University of Sunderland’s Blueprint business competition we have been non stop. At [...]
Today we were very lucky thanks to Josh Coles to be given the chance to recieve a chat about the opportunity of gaining experience in the BBC through the BBC’s new Production Talent Pool which Simon Wright who gave the talk is the talent exec of. It is a huge opportunity and chance for any [...]
Exactly a wee week ago we were heading down to the Glasgow Film Theatre to submit ‘The Gent’, a film we had produced in a wee week (ok I will stop). Myself (David), Kev and Mike made the SHORT journey up to Glasgow on the Friday and drew out not a favoured genre of ours [...]
After finding out that the 48 hour film project would not be coming to Newcastle we had to find a close one and our closest was Glasgow, so that is where we are going this weekend (7th til the 11th). Last year we were lucky enough to be able to use two of The Longsands [...]
Port of Tyne have been running a competition called ‘Reflect’ for a good while but it is only now, now that the deadline is midnight on Friday the 30th that I am putting 100% into it – thankfully it’s only a minute film. Any way, I am need of help I need a poem about [...]
The Unlikely Lads is looking to expand it’s current services into wedding videography, but we need your help to do so. Whilst we have years of experience with cameras and cutting in leading software we do not have any in filming weddings, so we would like to film one or two weddings to prove we [...]
Not a blog post in a while but we have been so busy, we have a good 3 blog posts in the works. But for some reason rather than starting at the past I am starting at the latest and working backwards… nevermind. It wasn’t until I saw on a friends facebook wall that this [...]
In February of this year we were recommended by our former lecturer Gordon Smith at Gateshead College to take on this commision with the chairty Sight Service. Sight Service wanted to create a narrative short film which follows a blind man’s first day of work, but rather than have a formal and just a walkthrough [...]
Our first client and they have returned for more work (delighted). In February we were contacted by UGroove to see if we could get down to Leeds to film the Killertrax event, sadly due to circumstances we could not, so instead we just edited the footage for them. I had never really worked with footage [...]
That’s right I have been shooting timelapses for just over a year now and I have shot every thing from the tide going out…to the Millennium Bridge tilting to sun rises to sun sets to ice melting you name it! But I figured a new way for me to improve and for you to gain [...]
First: Pepsi Max It Legends competition We have been very busy and in the past month we have produced a short film entitled ‘The Pitch’ we produced it in a week, and filmed and edited it together in two days. We bring this up not just so you can watch it, but so you can [...]
I was set the challenge along with my other class mates on my course (digital film production) to make a film using images to show narrative and composition. I chose the concept of time, the idea was that I would shoot timelapses (what a surprise) in order to portray the whole time is running out, [...]
Although I have done corporate videos before, I was particularly eager to work with UGroove TV, as this was the first corporate video I had been involved in as an Unlikely Lad. David and I also knew delivering a good quality video to a new client could open doors to future work. If you were at [...]
Hi thanks for coming to our new website it is still 50% to go but I felt the need to put something up! So here it is, expect it to fill up within the next few weeks! Thanks David
