We used an Australian Playboy Playmate model, Jennifer Kachel, a speedboat and a helicopter shoot to produce this short film on a property, with 'Bono' lookalike, Blake Haddleton. Shot on Sony's EX1, with the Letus Extreme, using 28mm and 50mm prime lenses, at 1080P.
Huge thanks to our helicopter pilot Peter Bird, who does some amazing things (he is the chief pilot for the SLSA's Westpac Rescue Helicopter in his other life). Used FCP6 smoothcam on the aerials and in-boat shots. And a dash of magic bullet.
Budget $15k.

Written & Directed by Julio Lascano

Born in Italy in 1976, Eva + Franco Mattes a.k.a. 0100101110101101.org have been besieging the art world with their clever hacks and elusive digital role-plays for more than ten years. In 'It's always six o'clock', the avatar portraits in their series 'Annoying Japanese Child Dinosaur' are attacked by an army of toys, not the digital representations but the real McCoy this time. From Manga characters to G.I. Joe, and from medieval knights to Winnie the Pooh, they're all performing in the theatre of pop culture. Cute yet ruthlessly aggressive at times, they're taking over the exhibition space. In the process, fantasy and collective imagination are fusing into a dramatically charged form of 21st ready-made sculpture. www.mu.nl
