More awards news; Daniel Wolfe snagged Best Director and Tim Francis Best Producer at this year's UK Music Video Awards.
Dominic Leung joined Hammer&Tongs' Garth Jennings and Nick Goldsmith onstage, to collect the Icon Award for their work in creating some of the most lovedvideosofalltime.
Daniel and Tim have had a stellar year, producing a string of top quality videos for Plan B. Daniel's filmatic style has won him rave reviews from the 'Tube to Antville to Promo News. And for some reason this all feels like just the beginning...
Over the past few months at Trim, Tom Lindsay and Ross Hallard have been industriously cutting together Jamie Thraves' new film 'Treacle Jr'. Starring Aidan Gillen and Tom Fisher, it's a buddy film of the highest order, following in the fine tradition of classics such as Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy. Time Out gave it a glowing 4 star review, calling it "Funny, touching and gritty, a coolly rendered observation on need and rejection [it] really is a Brit drama to shout about."
After a difficult experience on his last studio film, Jamie decided to produce the next one on his own terms. Re-mortgaging his house and pulling in friends, family and loyal crew; he made Treacle Jr at breakneck speed and for peanuts.
An amazing accomplishment in itself, but doubly rewarded by being a rather amazing piece of work too. It's classic Thraves in many ways; great performances, fantastic dialogue and a bitter sweet ending.
In a total shocker last week, Treacle Jr drew for top prize at the 21st Dinard Festival for British Film. Previous esteemed winners have included Shallow Grave, The Full Monty, The Girl With The Pearl Earring, London To Brighton and Billy Elliot
It is also playing at the London Film Festival from 21st October. You can book tickets here, though hurry it's almost sold out!!
You can check out pictures from the film and other info at its facebook page here.
Plan B's "Stay Too Long" video directed by Daniel Wolfe and edited by Dominic Leung has been nominated in the D&AD awards editing category.
Trim's had an ongoing involvement in the Daniel Wolfe/ Plan B partner ship, and between us we've cut 3 videos and one live performance piece. We're pretty blown away by the talent that is Plan B, and are always up for seeing what he does next.
For those of you who missed our blog entry about the video back in December, you can watch it here:
Several commercials edited at Trim have picked up an array of awards at this years BTA's (that's British Television Advertising Awards, if you don't mind.)
Philips "Carousel" edited by our very own Paul Hardcastle, and directed by Adam Berg for Stink Digital, won 2 Golds, one for Best Over 90 Second Commercial, and one in the Household Appliances category. We love that there's a Household Appliances category!
Compare the Market "Jingle", also cut by Paul, won four Golds in the 10-20 Second, Financial, and New Creative Team and Series categories. Paul edited four of the commercials in this successful series, two of which also scooped Silver in the Direct Response and Financial categories.
Two spots cut by Tom Lindsay picked up Diploma awards. These were O2 "The Walk" in the Telecommunication Services category directed by Saam, and the beautiful BBC Radio 4 History Of The World "Horse" spot directed by W.I.Z.
