At last, a blog for Coalition of The Willing! I thought it was time to create a central place where everyone's work in progress can be shown. Thanks to all the collaborators for allowing me to show their developing work. This blog is mainly for the purpose of connecting the collaborators, showing work as it progresses and announcing any developments. The blog isn't meant to be the public face of the film. The film's website is currently being developed. So finally, just to say that Coalition Of The Willing is already shaping up into a wonderfully rich and diverse piece of work, an enormous thank you to everyone involved.

First past the post

World Leaders - Clichéd 60s complete from Simon Robson on Vimeo.


It is with great pleasure that i announce the first section to be completed by one of the collaborating artists for Coalition of The Willing. World Leaders have completed this brilliant section for what is in effect the beginning of episode 2 of the film (Although the film won't be split into episodes...). Their piece romps through idealised memories of what the 60s was all about. Using a cool colour palette that rapidly transforms into bright colours, our 'dude' tunes in, drops out and escapes his rigid contemporaries. We then fall through a montage of objects depicting clichés the 60s are most remembered for. We finally end up watching blissed out hipsters floating away from consumerist landscapes in hot air balloons. Phew!

I started developing ideas with Ben & Mike for this section back in the early Summer of this year after they saw Tim & I at F5. They have been an absolute pleasure to work with. I'm kind of sad it's all over...sniff sniff.

As you'll see the piece is as yet without VO or sound design. Echolab will soon be onto the sound design and score, VO artist for the film TBC.
