I couldn't find the original thread, so for those not in the know… this is a comedy show on the ABC in Australia. It's like Jackass meets Tex Avery meets The Goodies. Some of the extreme sports featured in the show include jumping off cliffs without ropes, jumping over bottomless pits, fighting evil demi-Gods, beating up children, and destroying terrorism by blowing up the earth. And I've volunteered to do some music for their second, microscopically budgeted series.

I've just had my "assignment" for this now. I can't say too much, but what I will say is that I am scoring one of the final scenes of the series, and that it's going to be EPIC… I'm talking Hollywood blockbuster EPIC.

See you back here in five weeks…

Good call Lee!!!! I have never seen this show, got to see it

You really should. For something so clearly cheap and (sellotape and blu-)tacky, it's pretty special. There are DVDs in Australia, failing that try YouTube. Here's a couple to start with:

ha ha. that show is ace. never even heard of it before this. good one lee.

loved the last one most.

One week to go… and I'm just under half-way through. Ulp.

Still, the demo version has the UKDragon seal of approval. Not heard from the Fist team yet though.

Just heard from the main in the lumberjack outfit up the page…

"…the track Rocks!"

I'm well on the way to earning the Full Fist here methinks.

glad to hear that mixo

My deadline's been extended by three weeks… which means more time to add some hideously cheesy flute sounds to the mix. I don't know if any of you have seen Xavier: Renegade Angel on [adult swim], but if you have, you'll know where I'm coming from.

Really positive response from Bryan on my current version. A couple of tweaks, some guitars and proper mixing, and I think this will be done…

Apparently this is being mixed and redubbed this week, so it (and the whole series) should be finished very soon.

Also, if anyone wants to see a trailer for the second series, including clips of the scenes I've been working on (but none of the music) say so here and I'll PM you. I've been asked not to distribute it publically, but to a few of my showbiz chums with a familiarity with the term "confidentiality", it's fair play. I might also use this space to casually inform you that the 8x30 minute series includes five times the visual effects as Heroes and more than the movie Transformers, which is quite a boast for a series with a total budget of around $250,000 AUD. And chances are it'll be funnier than both combined.

This is now in the can, and awaiting transmission. Dates etc will be made available as soon as I know them (which should be soon after Bryan knows them).

I should be getting a copy of the show (and possibly the series) in August, when he's due to come to England. I'll ask him about distribution of the clip and music then. Unless it appears on YouTube beforehand…

Possibly naughty…

sounds very professional.

which/what instrument are you playing?

Ah yes, that might have been useful.

Guitars, drum kit, about three piano notes, the odd SFX - The Fist Band on live instruments.
Everything else (all the strings, brass, pianos, SFX, percussion) - me in Reason and Cubase.

sounds bloody great

can i have a geez at the trailer. moc.liamg|ffo.drah#moc.liamg|ffo.drah

I sent it yesterday; hope you got it.

yeah cheers. it doesn't seem to spoil very much though.

I think that's more for the benefit of those who have seen the show before really. If you haven't seen it, then there's little to be spoiled.

There was an official screening of some clips from the show a couple of days ago, and apparently between clips some tracks from Very Unprofessional and Even Unprofessionaler were played. And I'd only requested that I be represented at the screening by drawing my face onto a lime.

Just call me Big In Australia.

OK, the series begins on Thursday 14th August at 9:30pm on ABC2, and the day after at 11:30pm on ABC1. Therefore, my music will be on the episode airing on the 2nd/3rd October. I'm not sure why I'm saying this, as I don't think we have any Australian residents here at the moment, but what can I say? I'm smug.

Ah, interesting news - apparently each episode will be online after broadcast on the ABC website. Which hopefully means you will all be watching it.

If there's any way I can watch this online, I wanna know about it (:

Hm.. it might be available as a video podcast, otherwise there's no way to watch it online as, like BBC iPlayer is exclusive to the UK, ABC's online service is only available within Australia.

But hopefully I'll be getting the DVDs soon, so if anyone's up for a 4-hour binge session I'm sure there must be some way of a few of us huddling around a DVD player.

Bump.

This is available online now, or if you're in Australia it's on ABC TV over the next 8 weeks. Full details up the page.

ok, so where is your input? is it a particular episode? is your name in the credits? is this all an elaborate ruse? is the plural of "platypus" "platypi" or "platypuses"? and who exactly started this myth that the plural of "octopus" was "octopi" when everyone now knows that the plural is simply "octopuses"….?

…and for the record, the plural of "cactus" IS "cacti" and not "cactuses".

Episode 208, broadcast and online on 2/10/08. But if you want to have any hope of knowing what's going on during the final episode, watch the whole series. And yes, my real name is on the credits.

That is actually pretty good.

I reckon it needs to be picked up by Channel 4 or BBC 3 and broadcast at about 1am on a Friday night.

:)

Apparently series 1 was on Channel 5, Ftn and Bravo, so the chances of a UK showing are quite high.

James, I don't know, but if it helps, I do know that the past tense of "sh!t" is "sh@t."

Number 2's online now…

EDIT: no it isn't; some weak spineless dog's fucked up the video.

Until the ABC get their shit together:

203 online now…

ep. 3 is the one with your track?

downloaded it last night but need to site and watch ep2 first.
i find DTF requires a clear period that I can dedicate to it properly (and have a beer)

Episode 8, out 2 October.

No new episode this week, due to the Paralympics. 205 will be going out next Thursday (18th October), ergo "my" episode will be going out on 9th October.

Episode 5's online… things are getting real intense now. Spoilers ahead:

Rod's lost his powers, both sexual and athletic, Steve's lost his mind, Mephisto's at the palm of the medieval reenactor's hands, Tara's lost her tokens, Panda and the Mime are dead, and Womp's accidentally raped two women.

The night is always darkest before dawn…
