FrankstonTV Youtube competition

Andrew Knights — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 01:37:05 +0000

A few years ago whilst studying Dana Stockton and i produced a mock advertising campaign for the city of Frankston. It got us some press in the local papers which lead to an opportunity to sit down and present it to the council. It was all quiet flattering and exciting stuff at the time. Fast forward a couple of years and out of the blue a council member rings asking us if we’d like to enter it into a Youtube competition they are currently running. Hell, why not? All the heavy lifting had already been done so once again here it is –

The competition ends on August 1st 2011 when the video with the most views is deemed the winner.

Nugget the Dog – paper toy

Andrew Knights — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 08:18:15 +0000

I can openly admit that my dog is my muse. I’ve already made a flash video game, t-shirts and a character in Why Dogs Wag is based on him so it should come as no surprise that i have made a paper toy of my little mate.

I haven’t created any instructions as yet but if you would like to attempt to build your own Nugget the Dog paper toy you can download the .pdf here. Bulid time is approx 1hour with the majority of that being for cutting the thing out.

If you do make your own send me a photos as i’d love to see them.

Cheers!

Melbourne Storm Cheerleader Tryouts

Andrew Knights — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 07:12:40 +0000

A few weeks ago i shot and edited the cheerleader tryouts and 12 Cheerleader of the week clips for Melbourne Storm. 120 girls and boys turning out for what was an amazing day. Today the tryout clip went live on the Storm website which you can view here and the first of my Cheerleader of the week will be played on the big screen at the game this weekend. Very exciting stuff.

The Ramshackle Army – Uprising Young Citizen

Andrew Knights — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 05:10:23 +0000

Over the weekend i directed the Uprising Young Citizen film clip for my good friends – The Ramshackle Army. It was shot over 3 locations in one day on zero budget. Being a freebie project it provided me with an opportunity to be able to work with some good film industry friends of mine with no pressure on the outcome. It was alot of fun and provided a perfect platform to experiment some unconventional techniques. Here are some stills from the rough cut.

I’ll provide a link to the completed clip once it has been released.

Cheers!

Paper toys

Andrew Knights — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 02:51:17 +0000

I’ve been applying for every available multimedia position, unfortunately at this time of year there isn’t alot available and the ones that are i’m fighting it out against every other 2010 graduate. I have been shortlisted a handful of times, just last week i made it to the final 4 out of 97 applicants so i’m doing something right and know a full time gig isn’t going to be to far away. Fortunately i’ve had a few of freelance jobs come my way to keep the mortgage repayments ticking over.

So what have i been doing with my free time?

Well apart from playing Black Ops i have been inspired by Horrorwood, Macula, Cubeecraft and Matt Hawkins at CustomPaperToys to try my hand at designing paper toys. Using the free blank templates from Horrorwood & Macula as a guide i created a Storm Man paper toy with a ride-on quad bike for my first effort. I have presented it to Melbourne Storm’s marketing department and i am awaiting a response back on whether they would like to use it. I have offered it as a freebie so i can’t see why they wouldn’t. Would be great exposure so fingers crossed.

My second attempt was for my nephews who i’ve got addicted to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They love Michealangleo & Leonardo so imade them a papertoy of each and a mask. They loved them and it was so much more gratifying than just buying them a generic store brought toy.

If you would like to make your own Storm Man or TMNT leave a comment and if there is enough demand i might put up a .pdf of the design for you all to download.

Cheers!
