[14:43:15 PM] Darren says: Sai Li? Where’d you go last time?

[14:43:17 PM] Sally says: Roger Dodger That Big OneOFourO!

[14:43:22 PM] Darren says: How can I help you Sai Li?

[14:43:26 PM] Sally says: ready for upload of new creative for the cosmetics thing… over and out.

[14:43:31 PM] Darren says: fine. Well I’ve taken a different approach with this and have written it to the signature track from the Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift film. It’s kinda cool and has a driving beat to it… and it’s young and fits with the Japanese audience. It’s by the Teriyaki Boyz.

[14:44:11 PM] Sally says: I love chicken. Let’s hear it Big Bear OneOOneFourSix!

[14:44:28 PM] Darren says: umm. Right. Okay. Well it reads as follows:

A massive white canvas dominates the back of the stage and spills out and across the stage top itself. The stage floor has an intriguing ‘Luna’ feel to it. White and barren. Peppered with plenty of folds, bumps, deep hollows and strange moving shaped peaks.

Six characters march to stage, three aside. Dressed in funky white dust overalls - covered from head down to full shoe covers. A formal bow is extended to the audience. As they return to a stiff upright position a series of pyros exploded from either side of stage before meeting at the stage center. The lead urban hit track from the soundtrack to ‘The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift” blasts into the room and with that the artists spin away into an engaging and unexpected dance sequence.

Cutting through this fantastic chaos, an artist armed with two holstered pistols presents herself. She quick draws the audience before firing fluorescent paint into the air above her and at the other artists. Once tagged, the other artists start to paint. Paint like there is no tomorrow! Once finished the gunslinger turns on point, and skips away.

The stage is a manic whirlwind of activity. The transformed artists leap, jump, and lunge at the backing canvas. Armed with pots of bright primary colours. In broad strokes reflective of their own distinct individual styles, the canvas starts to take on a life of it’s own.
The canvas starts to resemble some sort of surprise Pollack inspired mess-tapiece.

From underneath the various peaks of the stage surface – other artists dramatically reveal themselves. Dragging out canvas surfaces with them. The once pristine white surfaces are struck again and again by bright colours. It lives. In a highly choreographed dance movement, the artists flit move from one surface to the next in a strange painting circuit. Various sized ladders are introduced into the mix with startling results.

From above the stage another artist drops from high above the stage. She swings back and forth across the face of the canvass backdrop with a water pistol in both hands – spraying bright paint as she goes by at the artists below.

From the back of the room – a massive scaffold trolley is pushed into the room. At speed it races down the room’s center aisle towards the stage. On top of the trolley are a dozen children of varying ages all dressed in white and waving madly to one and all. Woo-hoo!

The gunslinger returns, spinning artfully in the air before coming to a ramrod halt center stage. The others mass around, completely covering this individual in block paint - head to toe. Springing from her like she was on fire, she is fully painted and ready. Picked up and employed like a giant human brush, she is swept back and forth across the series of canvas surfaces the other dancers present to her. She is released as the other artists tumble and roll about – creating a strange collective art work from the various canvas elements.

The trolley arrives at the main stage releasing the children who clambered down and up on to the stage where they jump, prance and roll about in the paint as well as dancing with the big’uns. Living art to a pulsating urban soundscape.

As the track comes to it’s climax – all the splattered cast gather as one for a highly stylized group photograph. The photographer takes the shot – pyro flash followed by lights out and a stage and backdrop bathed in UV light. Previously invisible to the eye – the UV now reveals the new logo painted across the entire breadth of the backdrop canvas.

SEPTEM colours my world !

[14:49:20 PM] Darren says: so. What do you think?

[14:49:22 PM] Sally says: Cool and Fruity – I’ll sling it past the Chieftains of Colour and come back to you tutti sweat.

[14:49:28 PM] Darren says: oh. Well that’s great, let me know if I can do anything further to help. That’s great.

[14:49:33 PM] Sally says: c u wouldn’t wanna b u!
