A Sleeper Hit
In 2005 we made a film with Disabled Film Maker Luke McDonnell. This is a unique and quirky insight into a train journey in the Uk. We hosted the film on a now obsolete corner of our web site. We have recently noticed that it has become a sleeper hit and has been watched over 7000 times in the last couple of years. To put this in context it is not on YouTube, it is not linked to from our site and has never been promoted.
Tales (from Next Door and Far Away)
Stories from the past. Technology from the present. A whole new world!
‘Tales’ was a cross platform event for young people combining animation, drama, dance and film. Together with Toxteth Tv and a whole load of Merseyside schools, we created and modelled the world of ‘Tales’ and it rocked St Georges!
Here for the first time online are the animations created by Onteca and the young people of Merseyside.
Film Council Short Filmed by Onteca
Onteca was one of only four companies regionally to receive funding to make
a Digital Short film this year. Space Freaks: Dance or Die is a sci-fi comedy musical featuring a cast of dozens, song and dance numbers and some of Onteca’s innovative special effects.
Principal Photography was during September (which means we’ve already filmed all the scenes) and we are now in the middle of Post-Production; editing and compositing in the CGI. With excellent performances from our stars and solid, swift and talented work from the crew we have a lot of good footage to use. Mat Fraser, Lara Masters and Laurence Clark (stars of stage and screen) provide a backbone of glamour to the film.
Ken Campbell, creator of the Science Fiction Theatre of Liverpool, actor, director and teacher, was to have appeared in the film. Following his untimely death, the film is now dedicated to the memory of his life and work.
