Flunky Avant-Premiere!

Check out this awesome poster Andy made for the avant-premiere of Flunky tonight! I know, sweet.

If you're wondering where this event is at: it's at L'Ane Fou in Scharbeek. Well, the French would call it l'Ane Fou. I'd call it the Crazy Donkey.

There will be more news on the event once it occurs, but for now, this is a Great Leap Forward: our first public-ish screening. By public-ish I mean we will be screening it for most of the cast and crew, but it is a public venue, so some Monday night local tipplers might also watch history unfold.

Things are coming together.

The Wizards of Oz

As this blogpost goes to press, Flunky continues to be edited. Significantly, we are now more or less in possession of a final mock-up of the image, which we're pleased with. Bernardo has adorned this with some musical stylings which give this powerful film a suitable level of absurdity and gravitas. He is now engaged in the process of taking this model and creating the final mastercopy.
But that's not all...

In Amsterdam, a logo is being created.
In London, the sound of the film is being designed. And...
In Toronto, the website is being touched up and finalized.

What do these three things have in common? They are all activities being undertaken by a creative powerteam of Australian expats who have spread themselves across the globe to bring awesomeness to their new respective world capitals, and channel some of their goodness into the project we call 'Flunky'.

There will be more new as we gear up for the next phase. Seriously: we're getting close.<

Solutions Labour Solutions - logos

Solutions Labour Solutions, the fictional company where the movie takes place, needed a non-fictional logo.

Andy "Shortcut Kid" McAlpine came through, as he always does, with some hot hot options. Above is Option 1, and the likely victor, with the second after the jump.

Much as we like this second version, it may in fact, be too awesome and eye-catching. The side-hanging banners are not something I'm used to seeing, which is both rad and fresh. But this company is not necessarily on the cutting edge of design, so we may go with the other - still modern and quirky - spin on a classic logo style.

If you want proof of how not cutting edge this company is, you'll have to check out the photos of the location. It is bizarre and beautiful. These may not be available yet, but they will become available.
