Running Red Lights (lyric video) -The Avalanches DeviousCorporation 2020-04-14 | Fan made lyric video. No rights issues intended. All credits within video.This is a 'passion project' of mine, experimenting with animation and typography. I used AffinityPhoto for the hand-drawn still images and animated them using Moho Pro 12 and iMovie. Finishing touches came from Filmora - they have great transitions and effects - and the song is Running Red Lights by my all time favourite band The Avalanches. The song itself is quite spiritual and uplifting, with the darkest lyrics, which made it ideal for a visual interpretation of cartoon colour and astral projection.

Scratby - An English Seaside Village DeviousCorporation 2023-08-21 | Sunshine sand and pure bliss! Scratby may not be the prettiest name for an English seaside village, but it's the kind of resort that people return to year after year. My family has been coming here since the 1940s.
Barbary Lane in 3D DeviousCorporation 2022-12-29 | What if you could zoom inside my artwork? I took my Logical Lockdown print and turned it into a 3D model. It's Barbary Lane, home of Mrs Madrigal, the famous landlady from Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City series.The original artwork was approved by the author himself, and it soon became part of a range of merchandise which you can find here markwallis.meCreated during the horrors of the early pandemic, I wanted to illustrate a safe place where we would all like to isolate, and Barbary Lane was already an iconic beacon of hope for the dispossessed.The music is my song Beach House, which I made in GarageBand.
The Avalanches Manchester 2022 DeviousCorporation 2022-06-22 | Has The Ritz got smaller, or have I got bigger? An insane live show from The Avalanches, my favourite band. We one waited 16 years for a follow up album, so a live show is a miracle event. Shattered and obviously still not used to vodka.
Why Should I Love You (Heart of Summer remix) - Kate Bush and Prince DeviousCorporation 2022-01-07 | Free audio download from SoundCloud http://tinyurl.com/5fx3325mBack in 93, Kate Bush collaborated with Prince on Why Should I love You, a track from The Red Shoes album which seems to be about a broken-hearted woman seeking spiritual comfort, although maybe more like Madonna than Mother Teresa. Interviews from the time suggest that Prince dominated the track and Kate had to reign him in for balance.We may never hear the demo he sent to Kate, so I've tried to reimagine how it would have sounded. Using many iconic Prince motifs, I've sampled The Purple One to raise his profile to the fore. Aside from percussion, guitars and backing vocals, I've used a line from Mountains which seems to chime with the sentiment of Kate's original demo and album track.I'm hugely blessed to have additional vocals from Mandy Watson of Cloudbusting (see if you can spot them) thank you so much! The whole track was made over the last 6 months using Apple GarageBand.For the video I used still images of each singer and animated them, either by hand using Moho Pro Animation Software or various AI apps and online services. In all cases I had to use my own mouth, lip-syncing to guide the software. All the animation is my own work, and I designed the Prince/Kate Bush symbol. I also borrowed footage from Light Moves at Washington National Cathedral by Colin Winterbottom.I think the star of the show is Lenny Henry, whose gorgeous voice was used to cover the lines that Prince ignored. I've also brought him to the fore, where he deserves to be. He looks a bit grumpy, but you would if Kate was more interested in Prince.Dedicated to Neil Scott for his dedication and triumphs.In loving memory of Eva Georgieva of Trio Bulgarka and Prince Rogers Nelson.www.markwallis.meContains elements of:Why Should I Love You by Kate Bush and PrinceWhy Should I love You (demo) by Kate BushNight Scented Stock by Kate BushMountains by PrinceKiss by PrincePurple Rain by PrinceWhen Doves Cry by PrinceThe Beautiful Ones by PrinceVocals by Kate Bush, Trio Bulgarka, Prince, Lenny Henry and Mandy Watson.Remix and video copyright Mark Wallis 2021
Why Should I Love You - Kate Bush and Prince (teaser) DeviousCorporation 2021-09-09 | I've been using AI to reimagine the funk explosion that could have been when these two great artists collaborated. This is a teaser for the finished track which should be ready in October 2021
Dont You Want Me - Richard Easter DeviousCorporation 2021-02-10 | This my promotional video for the novel Don't You Want Me by Richard Easter. The soundtrack was provided by the client along with a brief that it should be set in a bookshop. I used Moho Pro animation and Affinity Photo to turn a picture of some bookshelves into a 3 dimensional virtual film set.
Song For Barbara Payton - The Avalanches (DC Mix) DeviousCorporation 2021-01-17 | I did a remix! This is Song For Barbara Payton by #TheAvalanches which only really had a vocal and not much else to go on. So I built a cathedral of tragedy around it, with an upbeat kind of rhythm. Have fun spotting the other samples. This really is crying at the discoteque!Dedicated to Robbie Chater who has brought us all so much musical happiness despite all the odds. And also to the memory of Barbara Payton, of course.

September DeviousCorporation 2017-08-31 | September's here again. For several years I've been promising myself I would make this film. This year I realised I had two days to start from scratch if I wanted to release it in time. So here it is, after a sprint for the finish - what I see in my head when I hear David Sylvian's September.
Black Siren - This Mortal Coil vs Goldfrapp DeviousCorporation 2016-05-24 | My best ever remix is a mashup of Song to the Siren and Black Cherry, made with very primitive tools back in 2003. Contains elements of This Mortal Coil's Song to the Siren and Goldfrapp's Black Cherry. I only just completed the video which contains some very clunky stop-motion animation.No copyright issues intended.

Kate Bush - Before The Dawn animated trailer DeviousCorporation 2015-07-18 | This is an animation of an imaginary movie poster I made in celebration of the fantastic Before The Dawn shows by Kate Bush. I was lucky enough to see one of the shows and was blown away by the performance, and the magical atmosphere in the theatre. I based my illustration on the old Star Wars movie poster from the 70s, which I felt echoed the drama, fantasy and excitement of Before The Dawn. This is my first proper attempt at animation and is Fan Art.This work is made under Creative Commons License and is not for sale, does not represent or endorse Kate Bush or the Before The Dawn shows and is copyright (minus soundtrack) Mark Wallis.

Be The Light DeviousCorporation 2012-12-06 | The Manchester Lesbian and Gay Chorus sang 'Dream a Little Dream of Me' for the World AIDS Day Partnership's Be The Light candlelight procession. It was a magical evening, as you can see, and we froze our bits off! But we stopped traffic. This is a little film I made for everyone who volunteered. Let's make next year even bigger and better!See more at http://thevibes.me
The Haunted Carousel DeviousCorporation 2012-11-07 | Get your retro thrills here! We found an old Victorian-style carousel with horses and crazy fairground music and just couldn't resist. The whole thing looks very genteel, but it's a different story when you actually climb on. It goes a lot faster than you think and there's nothing to stop you from falling off!

Postcard from Bishops Stortford DeviousCorporation 2012-03-31 | Here's a trip down memory lane for me and my family. And anyone else who left Bishop's Stortford and looks back with happy memories. We picked a beautiful spring day in 2009 to go back to my place of birth, and after 30 years I was pleased to see that nothing much had changed. Even my old school tie is still totally psychedelic! I went and bought one for old times' sake. Visit my blog here to find out more http://markjwallis.wordpress.com/2012/04/01/postcard-from-bishops-stortford The soundtrack to this video contains the track 'Since I left You' by The Avalanches and is included under Creative Commons license for Fair Usage , and appears in a transformed edition of the original work.

The Doctor Who Experience DeviousCorporation 2012-02-25 | I remixed the Delia Derbyshire version of the theme music specially for this clip. More here http://markjwallis.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/the-doctor-who-experience This is a short film I made of The Doctor Who Experience at London's Kensington Olympia. Part exhibition, part theme park thrill-ride, totally brilliant! Sadly it's closed now, but it's supposed to be resurfacing in Cardiff soon. I got to fly the Tardis and was held hostage on the bridge of a Dalek mothership, but nothing beats the hushed awe of actually stepping onto the Tardis set. Geekiness abounds...
Sparky the Amazing Dancing Cat DeviousCorporation 2011-06-15 | Ok, he can't dance or read. But he was funky. Sparky was a rescue cat, who was old when I got him. He was bright and engaging, always trying to speak, but I had no idea what he was saying. After 6 happy years with me he became ill and passed away just before xmas 2010. I had the good sense to film him in HD, and these are my memories. "Someone to sit in the sun with me. Who doesn't want to go anywhere," as Mrs. Madrigal says...
Right About Midnight - The Found Sound Orchestra DeviousCorporation 2011-01-12 | This is a fantastic reworking of an old Demis Roussos track, and it's a great example of the music of The Found Sound Orchestra, who make sample based music out of the records your parents tried to hide from you. Google them and luxuriate in the most blissed out tunes this side of a sun lounger.
A Candle Lit Vigil For Ian Baynham DeviousCorporation 2010-12-11 | We went down to London to attend the vigil for Ian Baynham who was murdered in September 2009 by three youths in Trafalgar Square. I filmed the event and this is my tribute. The soundtrack is an exclusive remix which I created for this film.
Goldfrapp Live DeviousCorporation 2010-12-06 | CONTAINS FLASHING IMAGES. To have excellent tunes is one thing. But to be consistently brilliant live, and to be the benchmark of cool for other bands... A bunch of us went to see Goldfrapp live at Manchester Academy on November 17 2010. They seem more like a band now, and Alison has dropped the Ice Queen act and gone for Rock Panther, prowling the stage and punching the air. There was a strict No Camera policy as you can see, and during the beautiful Black Cherry encore, some security thug told me to stop filming. Despite the regular intrusions, the atmosphere was electric and we all had a great time. Catch them next time around....
Panic and Run DeviousCorporation 2010-11-10 | I made this at college, and the brief was a short movie to demonstrate Final Cut editing software. This is my imaginary titles for a supernatural thriller set in Manchester's Chinatown. Strangely, plain clothes policemen appeared from the darkness and told me to stop filming, which I didn't. As you can see...
Darkroom DeviousCorporation 2010-11-10 | We went on a tour of Manchester's underground tunnels, the dark forbidding legacy of the Industrial Revolution. There was no lighting, all we had were torches so the footage is a bit Blair Witch, but thanks to the new iMovie trailer templates, I made a decent little flick. It was like the set of a horror movie down there... The tours sell out really quickly, but google them and see if you can handle total darkness. It's a giggle!
This Is San Francisco DeviousCorporation 2008-04-23 | I left my heart, you really do! Here's a crazy jaunt through the most amazing place in the States with added Tales of the City.
Goldfrapp - Clowns (Super 9) DeviousCorporation 2008-04-11 | First there was Clowns Super 8. As much as I love the official version, I thought it needed more...colour. And of course the feeling I got from the song was a nostalgic one, so I put the Banana Splits in, to evoke the TV shows of my childhood and also to keep the theme of silly costumes which has been a backdrop to the Seventh Tree era.
