We had so much fun with the animation for Sleep Safe, we have started work on a second animation feature to acompany Magicka. The film shows a titanic struggle between a winged reptile and a giant robot in the streets of Barcelona, with Slash Bikini getting involved in the struggle. Think of 1960s Japanese monster movies and you're half way there.
Feel Like Summer
This video for "Feel Like Summer" was shot by Anton and edited by Ginger. This is a story about two mannequins who fall in love but are then destroyed by Slash Bikini's face-melting ROCK! Watch the movie on our MySpace page.
Naked in a field
Slash Bikini did a nude photoshoot at York Maize Maze. Both the BBC and ITV crews came down and we made it onto Calendar news. Here's the newsreader doing his thing. (1.7 mB .mov file)
Sleep Safe
Oliver Postgate's seminal work with The Clangers is obviously a very big infuence on Slash Bikini. We've spent a glorious weekend working on a video for our track 'Sleep Safe' and would like to offer this little song and movie as a tribute to Oliver. Randy has a special skill with pipe-cleaners that we never knew about. Here are stills some to whet your appetite:
