A series of short films for MTV under their banner 'MTV Sharts'.

​

'Sharts' was the unfortunate name to symbolise the cool fusion of Short Art Films but unfortunately semantically brings to mind something a bit more scatalogical in my opinion.

​

Still... it was the first time that two new techniques of mine were properly shuffled together into a broadcast form, namely the Phonotrope and the puppet technique that eventually became the heart of Finger Theatre.

 

This film was the first time I had used my recently discovered Phonotrope process in any broadcast way.

​

For all three films I had wonderful help from Tom Raybould, who did the music for 'Turntable', and James Rawlings, who wrote and voiced the 'D12' one and voiced the 'Drummer' one.
