I was delighted this evening to find “Steam Trek”, the silent spoof Star Trek film I made with a bunch of mates on Billaricay Common many years ago, given a nice write-up on MSN in connection with the new Star Trek film. A minor dispute – it accuses us of using carboard sets, when in fact our budget would only stretch to brown paper.
In 2007, an agency that wishes to remain nameless was hired by a client who wishes to remain nameless to commission a film for a website promoting a petition to free Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former oligarch imprisoned in Siberia by Putin’s regime. Nominally, he’s there for tax evasion. The fact that he’s a potential political threat… well, enough said.

Here’s some photos from the woods around Perstein, Near Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic. The battery in my camera had died so I had to take these with my phone. There’s no Photoshop work involved here except the slightest bit of cropping and colour/contrast alteration – the wavy effect in some of them was done on the spot. There’s a simple trick to it!
