POST OFFICE Car Boot Sale
1 year ago
40 sec TV. One of a series of three Post Office spots, progressing the techniques developed for SOHO SQUARE vimeo.com/2226047. Each spot is based on first hand observation, with dialogue improvised in the sound studio to a prepared storyboard. The action is then recreated by actors and dancers miming to playback. This one is based on my own sketchbook drawings, made at a typical Saturday morning car boot sale (car trunk sale? garage sale? that sort of thing).

The technique is really well achieved, especially on the car.
I like this one the best .
The scripts are excellent.
I'm glad you like the scripts. They were entirely improvised, to storyboards I had already prepared, which in turn were based on first hand observation (sketchbooks, video etc.) at the actual locations of each setting.
I briefed the voice actors (all stand-ups and improv comedians) on their characters and spent an hour in the recording studio, making stuff up, followed by hours of editing afterwards to get them down to 40 seconds.
The films were then shot in the studio, to playback, with different actors (mimes and dancers) miming to the edited track.
