“Lucky us.. drawing rom-com.”

This year eep! entered as part of The Mammal Group. And again, we tried to fit altogether too much into such a short space of time. But, we pulled it off! Handed in a fully graded, sound mixed version with eight minutes to spare.

UPDATE:
The Mammal Group wins Runner-up at the Wellington regional finals, along with Images & Sound Sexiest Short & Philmworks Best Editing!
Thanks to all who came to the finals, and congratulations to Dog Films for taking the top Wellington prize (and the rest)!

We caught some of the action when Signer played The Crackhouse 5, and with some footage from their performance on the “Assembly” stage at Campus, we bring you “Languidly Toot” from the recently released “Next We Bring You The Fire”.

Watch the video.

To accompany her second single, we needed to find a dancer with the ability to move with the same emotion and restraint you hear within the music. And finally, we found her. Watch Sugar C featuring the movements of the lovely Milo Haigh.

For their first single, they decided to have some fun with a simple one-take. Poor Minty took it all in her stride as the rest of “The Mammal Group” attacked her face with objects of all kinds.

Check it!

The first is for Melbourne based Hip Hop producer & multi-instumentalist Pataphysics aka Patrick Marks. Earlier in the year eep! was commissioned by The Very Good Agency to produce a clip for the second single from Pat’s debut (soon to be released) album off the back of the great success his first single received in Australia’s Triple J Unearthed charts.

Check out “Over“.

Second is a clip for Auckland’s Bannerman aka Richie Setford – not just the friendliest bass player you’ll ever meet, but part of several great Auckland acts including Batucada Sound Machine and the recently defunct One Million Dollars.

Check out “House of One“.

And finally, post-production is about to begin on the documentary of the Camp A Low Hum trilogy. Make sure to check back in the coming months for updates and excerpts from the film.

With such a great line up in the final 15, make sure you get your tickets now for what should be an excellent night at the St James…
