Punk Omelette: A Fist Full of Eggshells

Back in 2003 I began formulating a series of surreal video ideas, born out of frustration at the crop of identikit television programmes that were coming out of Britain at the time, and my naturally warped sense of humour. I made a series of monologues called Punk Omelette - the phrase deriving from my slapping music styles together with TV content, in this case, cooking.

By doing so I invented an entire genre of media-bending formats. Now that I've helped put podcasting on the map and it's accepted as proper grown up media, and now that I don't have to be so damn serious all the time, I think it's time to pick that particular pantyhose up off the floor once more, and get moving with the eggs and the nails.

After all, as I often say - what is the point, except the sharp bit at the end?

John Cleese on Sarah Palin



Quite proud of this video, executively produced by myself and my fellow Small Pictures director Garry Scott-Irvine, which appeared absolutely everywhere and seems set for one million YouTube views. From Seesmic, Vinvin presents and interviews, and Whit videoed and Jeremy edited.

Applause all round.

Open Rights Group Video


Who's Watching Who? from Dean Whitbread on Vimeo.

Just completed this video for the Open Rights Group, the first of a few that in the pipeline from video production company Small Pictures. One of our "actors" dropped out for the second shoot, I had to step in last minute and pick up the baton. Thankfully the team did a lot better than the UK olympic relay teams...

Video

I'm going back to my art roots...



I started a Vimeo account for some HD experimentation.
