New video of our wall on Great Eastern Street, Featuring the Paint skills of Mr Jim Rockwell.. AKA Probs

Alien was a huge film from all our childhoods.  We stayed up late, watched it from behind the sofa and dreamed of worlds so dark and savage that humans were way way down the food chain. The androids leaked milk and the walls moved.  Only one strong woman stood between the Planet Earth and the total  annihilation of our civilisation.

Ridley Scott has done more for Science Fiction than any single man in Film..  Was it the mind of a madman like Geiger who visualised so many of our nightmares  or Scott’s genuine curiosity, fear and vision for the dark unknown that continues to inspire us every day?

Good friends and frequent collaborators, Lazy Habits, are one of the UK’s foremost live hip hop bands and their horn-heavy uptempo tracks feature as the soundtrack on quite a few of our videos. The guys asked EndoftheLine to produce a video for their critically acclaimed single ‘The Road’. The resulting video features Probs painting an enormous post apocalyptic industrial cityscape.  We also designed  and painted the front cover of their incredible new album.

Check them out at www.lazyhabits.co.uk

Their new epic tour has kicked off.  They are hitting all the major uk cities and you can see them at Hootenanny in London on the 27th of April.

Peace out

In East London no one can hear you scream

The weather has been incredible and Jim was getting itchy trigger finger.  We set him a challenge to paint all four panels on Great Eastern St in one day, no backup, no support just a big bag of paint and a handful of caps, Basing the production on one of our favourite film franchises, Alien, by Ridley Scott and HR Geiger, visionaries both.  We can’t wait to see what Prometheus brings to the science fiction table later in the year, if you haven’t heard about it better educate yourself with the link below.

The epic Alien production proved that the Samurai Painting style ( No Thinking Just Movement) and offshoot of the Shaolin Shadow painting School can cover large areas with style and grace without getting caught up in indecision and monotony.  This confident application of paint shuns the status quo of run of the mill photo-realism and adopts ultimate fun as its core principle.  You should be able to see the paint strokes, the mistakes, the artists own true style and not hide behind technique and glossy reproduced image.  The spray can is king and influences the final production.

John Carter Of Mars film Review

Share on FaceBook

We were lucky enough to get preview tickets for the Massive new Disney movie “John Carter” of mars. Based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs novels a Princess of Mars and lots of other ‘something’ of mars titles. We were also interested to learn that Mr Burroughs also wrote the Tarzan series so it seems fitting that Disney turn his vision of Barsoom into a movie. The stage is set for what could turn into a long running science and swashbuckling saga.

We were with a mixed group of all ages and unanimously we all loved it. While some among us were desperate to find something to hate the enthusiasm of the more die-hard sci-fi geeks among us won it for JCM. Personally I can say that I didn’t want it to end and would have happily sat through a bit more explanation of some of the plot holes and complicated story elements that were glossed over a bit too quickly. The CGI was flawless and the interaction between CGI ‘Tharks’ and human/martians was spot on. It really felt like they had spent alot of time trying to film as much of it as possible and using the CGI when it was impossible not to. We can’t stand those converted to 3D films that studios seem to think we want to see but John Carter can join the ranks of Avatar as a film you should definately see in Imax 3D cinemas.

John Carter sets out to make his fortune in the Arizona gold rush after the civil war. Attacked by Apaches, he takes shelter in a cave. a mysterious talisman projects Carter, to the bright red planet, Mars, in a time of War, a world of mysterious cities and strange four armed beasts.

Finally it feels like Disney has invested in a Science Fiction that reaches out and embraces its audience, giving equal measure of humour, action, romance and emotion.  They really don’t make them like this anymore. The strong female leads almost steal the show and Taylor Kirsch is an excellent central character.  The motion capture actors are incredible and its rare to feel such an emotional attachment to computer animated aliens.

Most people I have spoken to have no idea about this film which is a massive shame because it feels like this property really needs a good shove if it is going to enter peoples peripheral imagination. The posters seem to lack the style and composition of the original Frazetta style artwork. While the costume and effects department seems to revel in the connection with the original artwork the Promotional artwokers seem to have ignored this completely and either give too much away or don’t give enough. It is a struggle to find many pictures online but if they had just stuck with the original compositions everybody would be getting alot more excited about now.



There have been some terrible movies made about Mars but this isn’t one of them.  John Carter is out on March 9, go see it.
