He later resurfaced as a carol singer in "Space Zombie Christmas", appeared in a blink-and-you'll-miss him cameo in the "Notes on Early Aviation" video and he was also as a sexy and stylish thug as well as a stunning and sizzling librarian in the "Nothing-Men" comic. Nick is a dedicated follower of fashion (no matter how idiotic he looks) and his perfectly groomed beard, his ever-present red army jacket and his camp swagger provided ideal inspiration for the character of the deceptive gay sailor in the "Won't Lovers Revolt Now?" animation from "Palette". Nick King isn't fond of "facilities".

 

Katie Lawrence

Katie appeared as "the thief's girlfriend" in "Bucket". She popped up again in "Palette" and a few music videos including "Notes on Early Aviation", and she also posed as Ruth in the "Nothing-Men" comic. Katie is fond of very young boys with tight jeans and nice fringes.

Ludders also posed for the characters of Max and Luke in the "Nothing-Men" comic and he provided Mark with relevant and inspirational reading material. Ludlow's additional responsibilities include being the designated coffee maker (in exchange for stealing cigarettes) and to constantly reassure everyone that "it will be alright" ... particularly when it actually won't. Ludders is strangely fond of ladders.

 

Man Ray Sky

Mark made the video for the track "Vessels" and also put together some "mash up" visuals for the tracks "Press Record" and "Oort Cloud/Feelings of Loss" for Brighton-based experimental group Man Ray Sky (Andy Aruldoss, Mark Benton, Mike Shirley, Gee Sowerby, JS Thornton and Nick Wilson). Visit the Man Ray Sky MySpace here and their FaceBook here.

 

Ivan Mansutti

Ivan made a brief appearance in the "It Don't Come Free" video and then posed as "The Baddie" in the "Nothing-Men" comic (which is totally inappropriate as you'll never meet a nicer guy ... although he does look a bit scary) and then made an even briefer appearance in the "Notes on Early Aviation" video. Ivan plays drums in Furta Sacra for whom Mark made the videos "I am the Dustbowl", "Shake it like the End is Nigh" and "Bone Man" and also recorded them performing live.

Stuart Offord

Stuart danced about semi-naked and smeared fake blood all over himself in the "Don't Bite" video and then posed for the twins, Gerry and Johnny, in the "Nothing-Men" comic: both of these unfortunate events stemmed from the simple fact that Stuart worked in Mark's local pub.

Brian Reece

Bri played a gangster that was in love with a wok in "His father's Eyes": a shoot in which Mark broke Bri's lounge door as well as his toilet (to the extent that the bathroom totally flooded and an emergency plumber had to be called). Bri then played a man that lived in a tree - and in doing so - he spent several days walking through rivers and fields in a ridiculous costume (see above). This was during the original "Branches": a film that was never properly finished as Bri mysteriously disappeared without a trace and didn't answer his phone. Several years later, Bri resurfaced again in "Bucket", a project in which he had to cut off all his long hair, get slapped across the face several times and push Mark around in a wheel-chair. Brian no longer answers his phone: he is quite fond of not answering his phone (and who can blame him?)

Steve Tozer

Tozer was a "production assistant" or "boom swinger" in "Bucket" (or as he puts it: "held the mic for a minute") and also was a production assistant for "Circus Stomp" (or as he puts it "gave Garvey a broken record player") and "Dare We Claim Victory?" (or as he puts it "gave Garvey a broken TV"). Tozer has also helped Mark film a few recent live gigs and he appeared in "Notes on Early Aviation". Tozer breifly popped up as the third "shadow character" in "Bucket" and again as a "smoker" and as a "thug" in the "Nothing-Men" comic.

An over-intoxicated and hyper-aggressive Thoma Brainz somehow briefly surfaced in "Bucket", "Palette", "Don't Bite", "It Don't Come Free", "Circus Stomp" and "Notes on Early Aviation" as well as in the "Nothing-Men" comic . Almost all of Brainz's appearances have inexplicably involved him being dressed as a Priest.
