We haven’t put much of our work up here so far, due to the fact we spend most of our time pistol-whipping and round-housing for justice in the streets, but this job was worth taking a break for in particular. Thanks to Chris, Andrea, Rebecca, Nic and Zak at Icon for a righteous b**chin’ project.
It’s time we started mentioning our work here on this blog. What better a commission than this to start us off? Kieran Parker (Producer) and Steve Barker (Director) today confirmed that Hicksville will be completing the beginning animated sequence, titles and title card for Outpost 2. What’s more they ran through the plot with us and it’s cool as. What’s not to love about Nazi zombies? Unless they’ve got you tied to a V2 rocket of course… (NOT part of the film).
For the second time in 2 weeks Hicksville attended a big fat Premiere. This week it was the turn of The Karate Kid to grace our Thursday evening with stars, glamour and pizzazz. Thanks very much to Sony Pictures who laid on canapes, alcoholic refreshments and breakdancers a-plenty. Not to mention a kick-ass film that managed to reference without ruining, pay homage without… Anyway it was awesome. Go see it. Take your friends. Beat up some bullies. Feel good about yourself.
Last night Hicksville attended the World Premiere of Inception. Also in attendance were Leo DiCaprio, Michael Caine and Christopher Nolan. The film is incredible, but was slightly pipped by the after party in Battersea Power Station. Other high points included being mistaken for the Foals by the talent spotter and the lamb koftas canapes. Awesome night. Thanks to Sara and Sarah at Warner Bros!
Last weekend we celebrated our fifth birthday with a ‘Hick-nic’ in Regents Park. Our friends and some esteemed clients from Sony, Warner & Disney attended to witness expert frisbee throwing, taste our three roast hams and drink their weight in Pimms. Thank god the weather held out! Looks like another Hicksville tradition is born.

OK, I’ve made a playlist to get me around Monday’s BUPA 10K run. My aim is to make it in 45 minutes so to pace myself going round (there are markers every 1km) I’ve picked a 9 minute song to start and eight further four-and-a-half minute tracks. Songs with pun titles not intentional.

Last night you may have overheard some pretty rambunctious behaviour in East London. It was us. Hicksville descended en mass with a few of our friends; Nat from Warner Music, Jess from Harper Collins and Adele from Woodthorpe. Great Pizza, great Gavi di Gavi, prosecco, cocktails, beers and I should mention the “heavenly” Lemon Pot (see below). Then on to Electricity Showrooms for more wine, then on to somewhere else for more wine.
Sorry if we kept you up!
