Halloween Gashes & Slashes

As we mentioned in our last post we ended September by meeting some friends and managed to film some episodes of our 'Prop Shop' series with them. Well, we have now edited the first one in time for Halloween!

It features Nicole Klein who is the owner of 'The Hourglass - The Pin up Experience' which gives women the opportunity to experience a pin up and burlesque make over and photo shoot. If your interested you can check out her site at: www.thehourglass.eu. However before making women look beautiful, Nicole's role was quite the opposite as she worked as the Head of Make up on many of the horror experiences at the Warner Brother's Theme Park in Germany. Upon discovering this Nicole very kindly demonstrated her skills on Alan transforming him into one of the undead with half his face missing....
Upon our return to BEARLEFT HQ Aaron roped in the help of Erin, a friend who happened to pop around, who ended up having a massive fake gash applied to her arm. Needless to say she loved it! All of the products featured in the programme can be found online including here: www.brickintheyard.com who supplied us with the 'Gel 10'. Oh, and for some unknown reason we decided to finish the show with some stickmen zombies...why? ...because we're just like that sometimes.....;-)

So that's it for now. Hope you enjoy this episode of prop shop and we will see you all soon.

Make-up, Monsters and Madness!

Can you believe it's October already! Where are the months going?

Since our last post BEARLEFT.TV have been working on numerous projects both in-house and for exterior clients and if we were to go into detail this could turn out to be a mamoth post, so we'll give you the highlights. 

As previous blogged the beginning of August saw our new DVD being launched - Hywel Morgan's Fly Tying - Stillwater Patterns. This was due to numerous requests for Hywel to demonstrate fly tying that was suitable for all levels of experience, and you can see a free pattern over on his Youtube channel. The DVD is available to buy from us and we are now also selling through Amazon and you'll find a new link to all of the places where you can buy our products over on the right. -------------->

Our website also had a slight overhall, and along with a new promotional video on the front page, you can now watch trailers, view product information and purchase our programmes direct from the relevant page. 

September was certainly a busy month for our cameras as we found ourselves heading to locations both near and far. We have filmed a large part of the city of Gloucester for an up and coming project and even Coleford for a local businessman. One of the most exciting shoots was at the Kustom Kulture Blast Off - a great event of the best custom art and artists in the country. We were pleased to support Ty Lawer and our friends at Pageant Paintwork who won not only the Best Airbrush Award but Best in Show! A great achievement made even more rewarding that they are celebrating 25 Years of business. We've editied higlights of the show and you can see it here:


We ended September by meeting a great couple, and without giving too much away, one worked on the legendary Star Wars in the creation of Jabba the Hutt and the other was a make up artist in the Warner Brother's theme park in Germany. Needless to say we have filmed some episodes of our Prop Shop series with them both, and with a few little extra bits from us hopefully they will be out in time for Halloween. (By the way if you missed what we did last year... please put down any hot liquids, breakable objects or small children then watch this)  

This month we are back out filming with Hywel Morgan for two new DVD's covering 4 seasons of stillwater and river fishing and should be out in time for Christmas. We have also got a few other things in the pipeline that may require cast and crew so if you would like to get involved please follow us / subscribe (there are shortcuts on the right---->) and make yourself known to the Bearleft.tv crew.
