That last tweet will really test your knowledge of brief Twitter moments.

Ed Burns is on #yourefired - all I can think of is him and Dara having sweaty post-gig sex.

I’ve been busy… I know that I’ve been slack in keeping this blog updated… once I could be relied on to update twice a day… life takes over and other forms of social media come to dominate… and then we end up with a stream of apologies and regrets… and no-one wants to read that. [...]
Since it seems unlikely that any more movies will be released this year I thought that I’d offer my uninformed and entirely subjective opinions on the films that I’ve enjoyed the most… It’s probably best not to analyse it too much. More than anything else it displays how few films I’ve seen, and how mainstream [...]
Pangs of guilt kicked in. Fears of neglect arose. Domain names lapsed. Apology required. Soz. So, a new look for a new year. The site has been overhauled, repaired and improved. I’ve returned the focus of the site to the blog which I promise to update more often, and I’ve cut out some unnecessary superfluous [...]
Yes. I know. I’ve been away a long time. Sorry. I’m ringing in some new year changes, making some redesigns and wishing desperately that I knew more CSS so that I could Dreamweaver the hell out of the site and not rely on WordPress templates any longer. Bear with me while I deshonk the errors [...]
I spotted this gem in a bargain bin a while back, hunted out the cover online and then sat and waited while all manner of critical and barbed bile began to form in my mind – and then I realised that I didn’t need to dress it up with criticism as the cover does all [...]
*sigh* Another day, another shitty poster for some goddawful romantic comedy. I honestly have no problem with the style of this poster – characters standing alone against a white background is a perfectly valid, if not very adventurous, design choice to make. The only question I have to ask is why make look so bloody [...]
Here’s a new spectacular piece of artwork for you to cast your loving cinema-attending eyes over, another rendered slice of promotion that it’s a little hard to fathom who would sign off on. It is for the ever-growing list of theatrical non-events that is Sandra Bullocks newest release – some comedy of some kind where [...]
Last month I produced a short ident sting for MTV on behalf of a really rather fabulous design company called Universal Everything, who have been creating the new branding material for MTV Worldwide. Phase one of the idents have just been released and you can find the complete collection of them over at Creative Review. [...]
…or at least that was to be the case. 5 minutes after I had updated the Medlo website announcing that we were to be shooting behind the scenes for the entirety of his run at the O2 than Paul 65 texted me with some news and the rest, as they say, is history. Whilst obviously [...]
Hey Dave Huh? I said, hey Dave. Oh. Hey. It’s me, your blog. Where’ve you been? I’ve been busy, sorry for not being in touch. What’ve you been upto? Normally you stop in say hi quite frequently but recently there’s been nothing. Yeah, it’s been a hectic month or so. I’ve been away shooting quite [...]

Tza, our esteemed former colleague and director of such Medlo projects as Spacestation and AOD, has co-created this excellent Safe Sex 8-Bit Viral for the Leicestershire Teenage Pregnancy Partnership. We’re not the only ones who are impressed – the Guardian seem to like it too.
Just a quick link – some of our work for Chatroom has now started making its way online, and Empire magazine has an exclusive look at the featurette we made about William - AKA Aaron Johnson.
A few months ago we stepped out entirely from our comfort zone and produced the video for Candy Rock’s debut single ‘Candy Shop’ amid a torrent of champagne, beautiful girls and costume changes in a dilapidated former music superstore somewhere in the heart of London.
And here it is. Medlo go girl-pop.
A couple of months ago Medlo chipped in some donated time and shot a meeting of creative minds for The Yes Men – corporate pranksters and scourge of unethical businesses everywhere. They were planning a Bhopal drinking water event so we scuttled over to Soho where the advertising team were readying their designs and captured them in full creative flow.
That footage has now been edited (not by us, we should stress) and posted online. So here it is…
If you haven’t already seen their new movie – The Yes Men Fix the World – then we heartily encourage you to do so. It’s achingly funny and desperately relevant. Go watch!
This is from Dza…
My brother and I will be playing some new remixes at ‘La Boutique Electronique on 25th July.
We’ll be mixing up some of our latest video remix material. Stuff like dis:
Tickets are very limited…..hopefully see you there.
Here is some blurb:

Demand for the show is huge, so book early to avoid disappointment.
So… as everyone in the world now knows; the king of pop is dead. Long live the memory of Michael Jackson! No one will ever replace him.
The loss of the worlds greatest popstar is doubly painful for us as we were in the process of beginning a documentary on his London shows, having been granted access by AEG – the company who’d previously hired Dza and Phil to cover the Prince shows last year.
Footage of his press launch had already been filmed and we were just about to begin full time work on it when news of his death broke; equipment had been bought, subjects confirmed, contracts signed and I was even moving to London for the duration of his residency.
Now, of course, none of this will ever come to pass. We had grandiose plans to cut a feature out of our material and, whether or not that would ever have been seen, it would have provided a terrific calling card for Medlo and enabled us to work on bigger and better projects.
No doubt it would have won us 4 Oscars and we’d be millionaires by now.
It’s still hard to come to terms with the loss – of a man, of a legend and of an opportunity that will never – ever – come to pass again. We spent much of the week following his death in shock, just blinking into the midday sun and uttering half finished sentences that amounted to the same statement – “I can’t believe he died.”
Our thoughts are with his family, and his fans. And with ourselves too.
RIP
Medlo have created and contributed a brand new exclusive video mash-up to Ditto, a sparkling and fresh arts event in the London Roundhouse, and will be screening it live for the first (and only) time on Saturday 16th May.
Ditto is a one-off performance of music, film, visual art and dance from some of the country’s most talented creatives, and will be broadcast live across the net as well as being a physical and actual event that is real and totally attendable.
Head to ditto.tv for all the information you’ll ever need, and click here for the e-flyer.
Reigns – ‘Everything Beyond These Walls Has Been Razed’
From the album ‘The House on the Causeway’ – out now on Monotreme Records.
Produced by Medlo and illustrated by Phlegm Comics.
We at Medlo towers would just like to take this opportunity to mark the very sad passing of the musician Aaron Stout, and to offer our deepest condolences to his friends and family. We’re all saddened and shocked by his untimely departure and hope that his legacy of beautiful music may go some small way to easing the pain of his death.
We had the pleasure of working with Aaron when we produced the music video for his single ‘Spacestation‘ and although we only ever talked by email I remember being struck by the fluidity of his ideas and being flattered by the trust he placed in us to do his work justice.
He was a wonderfully talented musician and a lovely human being. He will be missed greatly and our thoughts are with those closest to him.
