The Defamation of Strickland Banks

Tom Lindsay did a fine job summarizing the good times and bad times of Strickland Banks in this sharp and epic recent trailer. Commissioned for the Brit Awards, this brilliantly edited short ties up all the Plan B videos that Daniel Wolfe directed set against a new unreleased track. The trailer was played on screen alongside live choreographed scenes on stage, bringing the dramatic chronicle to life.

We Won!

The Winners of Ted's Ads Worth Spreading competition have been revealed and three, yes THREE of Paul Hardcastle's ads are amongst the triumphant winners! Woop Woop for the editing shoeper man! (hehe)

The three special spots are the magical Hornbach and Heimat ad 'The Infinite House', directed by Woof Wan Bau, the superb and uplifting Dulux ad by Adam Berg and finally the recent ingenious Intel ad, 'The Chase' created by Smith & Foulkes.

Radiohead 'Lotus Flower'

Keeping secrets are fuking hard, especially when you're Leila Sarraf and you've just edited a Radiohead video with the bleeming lovely Garth Jennings along with an afternoon doing changes with Thom Yorke, only to be told that you can't tell a soul until it's released...4/5 weeks laters. Everytime she got drunk, the secret would bubble up inside of her and the only solution would be to take herself home, before she stood on top of the bar and screamed it out.

And now it's finally disclosed and she can sleep again and everyone else can enjoy the brilliantly refreshing sight of Thom Yorke throwing sexy hard ass moves that would make Beyonce blush. It's beautiful, it's simple, it's raw, its absolute genius.

Trim In Poland

Lots of lard, dumplings and animals were consumed when the infamous Trim bag ventured to the wild Tatra mountains of Poland, chaperoned by Ross Hallard, who was doing a spot of on-shoot cutting for Henry Mason's latest mobile phone commercial. Na Zdrowie!

Girls, Girls, Girls

Over christmas, Trim had the pleasure of messing around with five dancing girls by the names of Zuzanna, Tati, Mariacarla, Kinga and Arizona (seriously we're not making the names up). And by messing, we mean some jolly good, clean editing, 'Consequences' style (remember that game?!) by Paul Hardcastle, Dominic Leung and Leila Sarraf.

Keep you're eyes peeled, as there are more dancing prada dada videos to come!

edited by Ross Hallard and directed by Petrovsky and Ramone of uber creative Stink Digital.

Alex Clare ' Up All Night'

Its a fookin tuuunnnnee! Last year we couldn't get enough of this song by up and coming, London musician Alex Clare. It makes you want to jiggle and wiggle and maybe take drugs and dance till dawn. So we were only too happy to listen to it on repeat whilst Trim's Ross Hallard cut the engimatic and beautifully shot (Steve Annis) video directed by Blake Claridge. Sexy stuff.
