Hello. January is starting to filter through the senses slowly, but great news in anticipation of AlexandLiane's fantastic new video for Cheryl Cole's 'Parachute', commissioned by Ross Anderson at Polydor. Should be with us and up on the site by early February, but looking mighty fine. One to really look forward to...
WIZ is nominated for 2 out of the 5 videos in the NME Shockwaves awards 2010, for Kasabian's 'Fire' and Oasis's 'Falling Down' respectively. Just reward for the quality of work he consistently achieves in his work. Alongside the videos, a best artwork nomination for Kasabian's 'West Ryder Paupers Lunatic Asylum' for WIZ too!

Other news: WIZ's outstanding TVC's for BBC Radio 4's 'History Of The World in 100 Objects' have gone down really well, he's currently working on other projects but is available for equally challenging work! Sophie's busy and will be stateside for most of February, whereas Jamie is finishing off the post on Treacle Junior in the UK but available around these dates. John Hillcoat has been busy promoting The Road throughout Europe, where it's gone down incredibly well. In the UK, it's opening weekend fell between No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood in terms of receipts. And that was on the weekend with the worst weather the country had seen in 40 years. Props. Scott has been busy with Outsider on his outstanding Honda spot containing over 1000 edits, check it out on their site.
