Blooper vid – rated (M)
Late last year our team had heaps of fun making the Schools Went Crazy video (which you can view on the homepage below left). Creating the video was a great experience, and something we’ll never forget. Filming didn’t exactly always go to plan. Here is a collection of bloopers you can see on our Facebook page.
Starter Pack cards
Did you order a Year 12 Starter Pack, and not receive your student hand-out cards in the post?
You should actually receive your cards in a separate parcel to the Annual + DVD.
Depending on the size of your letterbox, sometimes the postman will leave a post office “collect” card, for you to pick up the cards. Check to see if they left a card. Otherwise contact your Yearbook Consultant, and we’ll chase it up for you!
RIP Doujon
Doujon Zammit’s life support was turned off in a Greek hospital yesterday, after being attacked by bouncers while holidaying in Mykonos.
An original member of our 2006 Creative Services team, we first met Doujon as the 2005 school captain of Cecil Hills High School. A friendly, capable, charismatic and respectable gentleman, Doujon was a model student leader who was highly respected by his peers and friends. In my years of meeting year 12 school captains, I have never met a more ‘special’ student leader to this day.
An all round good guy, Doujon’s work as a graphic designer was outstanding, showing an amazing natural talent of producing high quality work. The tragedy hurts, as it could not have happened to a nicer person.
Rest In Peace.
Tehehehehe… Rock Band has arrived!
We’re really into our computer games here at Rockstar. We have many excuses, perfectly valid reasons to play:
- Grand Theft Auto 4: published by Rockstar Games…(the only relation is the name)
- Guitar Hero: ….well, we need to know how to Rock
and now…. ROCK BAND!!!
For those completely unaware: You know when you’re walking in the city down George Street, (or Collins St for those of us in the better city), and you see those kids playing Dance Dance Revolution in the arcade…
Well, Guitar Hero is a similar game, where you hold a fake plastic guitar, and press the coloured notes at the correct time. If you’re into your music, it’s absolutely AWESOME!
Fast-forward a little further, Rock Band was released in November in the States. Created by the original developers of the Guitar Hero games, Rock Band adds drums + vocals to the gameplay! (Hello I’m in Heaven!)…
Now, because EA Australia are completely useless, they’re not going to release Rock Band in Australia until probably 2009!!!!
Because we were so damn desparate to get it, we imported Rock Band from the states via eBay. And yesterday… IT ARRIVED!!!
If you’re in Sydney, please drop into our studio and play us. (and make up some excuse about yearbooks)… any excuse to play will do!
