Schonell Screening postponed

G'day, just forwarding this message regarding friday's screening:

Unfortunately the preview screening of 'Heaven In A Wild Flower' scheduled for Friday 22 May has been postponed due to minor licensing issues with music.

My sincerest apologies if this has caused any inconvenience. The production team of 'Heaven' are organising with the Schonell possible dates for a screening in the near future.

I hope you are able to join us on this later date!

Kind regards,

Gabs

Poles Apart screening

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that Poles Apart is showing on friday the 22nd of May as part of the cast and crew screening of "Heaven in a Wild Flower"(An honours Film&TV short).
Screening is at 7PM @ the Schonell Theatre (5$ ticket).
This will probably be the last Cinema screening of Poles Apart as we are about to release it on the Web after a great run in festivals!
Drop me a line if you'd like to see pang-pang on the big screen.
Hope to see you there!

(Here's a little poster for the occasion)

After Effects Intro

This was done for a job I've just completed, most of the work was in the final design element which shows much better on a black bgd, but since the green bgd was part of the client's branding,the green colour had to stay throughout the intro.
