by Dave McKean
Dave McKean's first personal film venture - filmed around the clock over a full-on bank holiday weekend and the final shots completed over a year later (tacked onto the 'N[eon]' super16mm shoot) the film endeavours to describe a 'perhaps less familiar' image of god - a god wracked with indecision and insecurities, and quite unable to complete the world in the given seven days after all, constantly putting things off
Filmed with any number of Heath-Robinson techniques, it surpasses bigger -budget shows with it's superlative cg 3D animation, it's trademark wealth of imagination, and plenty of sellotaped-together in-camera realtime effects. Featuring Dean Harris behind the god mask and Eamone Collinge as the devil, their combined work so successful many remain convinced several differing masks were used to create the effect (no)
