I&#8217;m pretty pleased with it too- considering how much I hate working with flash, it&#8217;s turned out rather well! It might be a little daft having made a video for a radio station, but it&#8217;s all good in the internet age!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice to do stuff outside of my D&#038;B corner of the music industry, even if it is still music-related. I didn&#8217;t really know much about Benji B before I did this, but he&#8217;s taking over Mary Anne Hobbs&#8217; slot, who I had heard of, so he must be good! He must have good taste too, because by a bizarre coincidence, one of the tunes they picked for this video is one of the few records outside of Drum &#038; Bass that I did the artwork for- MJ Cole &#038; Wiley&#8217;s From the Drop:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/fromthedrop.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"MJ Cole &amp; Wiley - From The Drop Artwork\" width=\"100%\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/fromthedrop.png 570w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/fromthedrop-250x131.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering why his mouth doesn&#8217;t move, I did do a second version (which I may or may not upload somewhere in the future) with talky mouths, but it was a bit on the ghetto side- I guess too ghetto for the BBC. Probably for the better really. Anyway- cool! It&#8217;s my work on the BBC!
