The next Cheek video

After a few weeks have passed we can look back on the production of ‘No Job Too Big Or Small’ and feel quite pleased about it – but where do we go next.

With Christmas (aagh!!) less than half a year away we turn to the inevitable for inspiration. If there’s anyone out there who wants to sponsor a video about chimnneys give us a ring, it could be the best investment you ever make (assuming you’re into chimneys)

Video shoot

The first shoot for ‘No Job Too Big Or Small’ went well, thanks to the generosity of Herbert Lewis (the excellent department store in Chepstow). The store’s bedding department was a perfect ready-made set for scene 1, and they were kind enough to deliver us a tray of proper tea. Thanks also to Izzy, who we think will be well pleased when she sees the edit.

Apparently the van was on its last legs anyway and was off to the big white crusher by the dock.

Local Help

As good a day as any to test the SexyBookmarks plugin.

Health and Safety – what’s that?

The lads have expressed some concern about health and safety in the next video shoot. There’s no budget for stuntmen, but don’t worry guys, don’t forget that one of you is a fully qualified JIB electrocutioner … I mean, electrician.

‘No Job Too Big Or Small’

gaffer — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:22:38 +0000

The album, written by Ian luther, has not long rolled out of the recording studio, but already it’s being listened to all across the world. ‘Cowboy Builders’ are riding the favourite just now, but it changes every day. What’s your bet on? Personally, as we get close to Xmas, the sensible money’s on ‘Build a Chimney…’ or ‘Jesus was a Carpenter.’

What sort of video news?

What sort of video news. Well for a start there will be a piece about the making of the first video. Then there’ll be another about the disappearance of Big Cheek, who seems to have gone missing after the last building inspector came round. The building inspector hasn’t been seen since either. Also, expect the ongoing investigation into the rogue cheese, and the strange shadow on the surface of the moon, and developments in the world of cement chemistry… but mostly it’ll be music.
