Very much enjoying making silly things throughout lockdown, so am putting them all in a thread here.

Anyway lets start with good old Liz https://twitter.com/MattHighton/status/1250741975847927808?s=20">https://twitter.com/MattHight...

Distress Call: This short film was shot pre lockdown, I just wanted to see if I could film in my kitchen but make it look like space. I love this so much and want more people to see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ4m29mt9xA&t">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Not loaded up this thread for a while. So here goes, starting with the 50s WandaVision intro recreated using only stock footage. https://twitter.com/MattHighton/status/1367777273114472450?s=20">https://twitter.com/MattHight...
And onto the 60s https://twitter.com/MattHighton/status/1367777846647812097?s=20">https://twitter.com/MattHight...

The 90s one was the hardest to make. Nearly gave up. https://twitter.com/MattHighton/status/1367779655713951745?s=20">https://twitter.com/MattHight...
The 00s one felt a bit pointless making it, but it came out okay. https://twitter.com/MattHighton/status/1367779973457731590?s=20">https://twitter.com/MattHight...
