- THE WALL -

Cheers for all your comments! We are currently re-working the guest book, so you won't be able to leave messages for a day or two.

Hi Corin, thought i'd say a quick hello... Rachel from many moons ago. Very impressed your work is taking you far. It looks fantastic. I have a little boy now, Rowan, he's nearly 2 with blond curly hair. We are all good, living in Westbourne Park and enjoying it all. Would be great to run into you again one day. Love Rx

Hi Corin, Just wondering if there's any update on the Butterfly DVD? I've been checking back every couple of months in hope, so some info would be good (if you know a rough date or anything).

love your work, compadre. if you ever need any tunes, or if you ever have a moment for some low budget collabs, lets do it. http://www.jamesapollo.com myspace.com/jamesapollo

Cool site.

I got lost in Butterfly...it will stay with me forever, thank-you.

Hi Corin, I love your work. I have been trying to find where I could buy the DVD rather than the iTune version of Butterfly. Could you please let me help to locate the distributor? Many thanks, Tatiana

Boo! Hey Corin. It is me! Back from the dead! Every Halloween i think of you. BTW- Do zombies eat popcorn with their fingers? No, they eat the fingers separately...

Your weekend animation course was great - really enjoyed it - and the way it was run at Chiddingly. Altho I was probably much older than anyone else there I felt very welcome and included. Just viewed the results of the Fuzzbox animations and thought that was excellent. All good wishes for your future work. Dorry

Unfortunately I was unable to go to your animation workshop at Chiddingly, even though I had really wanted to. Do you have any other workshops planned or any other exhibitions of your work, like the one for the Edinburgh Festival? Isabel

Just a quick one...i you ever need assistance on anything animated do let me know. Cheers John

Hi Corin, Thanks for all the advice and and the great workshop you ran this past weekend at Chiddingly. HAs fired me on to make more and more work. Totally inspirational! John (the big hairy fella)

Hi Corin, its me from the animation weekend in Chidingly, just wanted to say thankyou so much for a great time! i love the "butterfly" film you hav done. I also wanted to add, as i am very enthusiastic about what you have done as a possible career option myself, i wondered what qualifications and subjects you choose? And ialso wondered if you new anywhere i could go and do my work experience, involving the kind of work and processess you use...? Anyway good good luck in the completion in your music video for John Spencer..... Blues Explosion, and thankyou.

Hi there! Just wanted to know how you did to get the band on the paper-animation-thing.. in 'she is the new thing'. Did you tke photos of them and used stop motion or did you you use a computer program like after effects to add the animations on a videoclip? I really want to know, are doing a similar project in school. //Joe

hi there! i absolutely loved butterfly, and Corin is a huge influence on me, as an MA student (with 3 weeks left) I have produced a short animated piece as part of an installation of soft sculpture. The animation is posted on www.softsculpture.blogspot.com. i would really appreciate any feedback from Corin with regards too my work, as he has been such a huge influence for me throughout my MA study. if there is an address that i can send a hard copy to, please could someone email it to me! thanks emma

Hi, it's Ewan from your weekend class in Edinburgh. Just downloaded Butterfly from iTunes and enjoyed it even more the second time. Thanks again!

Late at night I randomley rented Butterfly on itunes. In a way it kind of changed my view about a lot of things, just made me think a lot. I guess I could say in some strange way it changed my life. I don't know, I didn't really want it to end (:

Looking for Butterfly? AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD NOW ON ITUNES IN THE UK! Head over to the News page for the link...

Hello, I'm sorry about the spam in the forum..I am aware of the problem. It is very difficult to manage because the robots post to it every day. I will clean it up now and at a later point fix the forum in a certain way that should make it invisible to spammers, much like I have done for this guestbook (by renaming it the "wall" and stuff..) Perhaps it would be best to remove the forum because its use is very limited. I'll chat to Corin about it. Thank your for bringing this to my attention, Green Gecko Web Slinger

Dear Corin. I'd really like to buy a copy of Butterfly from you. I've just started working with a bunch who help disabled/mentally ill people back into the community, and I think that would be SUCH an enabling film to show them. I don't know if it's OK to show it in a church hall, somewhere like that, when we get it so I'm asking you if that would be OK. Yours hopefully - it's a great movie, I saw it at Lewes MIND - Chris. P.S. Congrats on the pop vids - I didn't realise you'd done those! That Mysterious Cat - is its name Schroedinger?

please, please bring butterfly out in the UK! i've been wanting to see it since bedshaped was released and can't get it anywhere! It looks and sounds great from the trailer and storyline - i'm desperate to see the whole thing! Thanks, Kimmey

'Butterfly' is either humanism at its most beautiful and deceptive, or it is a profound and truthful insight. But either way, it's very moving and masterfully done. The shot of the huge graveyard near the beginning was very moving. The entire thing was so very poetic; a real work of art. Congratulations

I love the Bedshaped video, which made me come here and love butterfly.Keep the good job

I would like to thank Corin for inviting a number of Teddington School students to participate in the production of the new Keane/War Child Charity DVD. It was a great pleasure and a wonderful experience for everyone concerned. The students have been inspired by Corin’s work. Having viewed the student’s work at the end of the four day event I was very proud of their achievements. We are now planning to introduce animation to the school’s curriculum. Once again, on behave of all the students & staff; I would like to say to Corin THANK YOU. Keith Yarker, Assistant Head & Director of Visual Arts, Teddington School

Hi Corin! Just spent some idle moments looking at clips of stuff i hadn't seen and that idle moment soon became an hour! Fantastic things. The New Thing one was truly horrendous but v. exciting and it was great to see the Bells one and of course many familiar faces in there. At school I noticed one of my favourite students was listening to Bedshaped and so of course I proudly told him about you doing the video for Keane and when he'd recovered he said it was one of his favourites of all time and is looking forward to more!! xx

If Im not mistaken you are the director of the horrors vieo right? just thought that i had to thank you for amazing video... thanks :)

Hi Corin, I as sent here by Alx, who I see is the most recent poster bar me. I am a short film director and I'm trying to get an animation film together, don't feel immediately comfortable about posting it straight up on a message board, but it's about a man made of belly button fluff. Send me an email and I'll be in touch further. John

Hey Corin, Long time no speak! I dropped off the planet for a while before taking a full time job at a production house. Anyway, I just wanted to say congrats on your signing to Academy it's fantastic news and your Horrors Vid is to die for... I'm guessing you're living in London now, so it would be lovely to catch up over a drink at some point! After butterfly I knew you were destined for great things, so I'm sooo happy you're doing so well. alx.xx

Hey there I really love your stuff. Keep up the good work. I was wondering, I used some of the balld of paul k stuff on my website at: www.myspace.com/mcflysims its basically a myspace art gallery of pictures/paintings/drawings of mcfly. all the pictures and stuff have hopefully been copyrighted to the right places but could you please check them for me? cheers lov kel i also did my own pictures based on paul k so if u could comment them and tell me what you think thatd be awesome xxx

Good Grief! When will the dvd EVER be available?

Hi Corin, Well, you asked to be kept up to date on my doings (and if that was just you being polite, then HA HAAA - it's come back to haunt you - hee hee) I've finally finished my music video for My Little Problem, if you fancy a look, slide on over to the 'films' section of my site. Hope you enjoy.

Hey Corin, Dunno if you remember, but I am the cameraman from BBC South East that came to your garage studio a few years ago on my own. Did an interview, had a brew & stayed for ages coz it was really interesting. (I had a Motorhead t-shirt on). Just before Butterfly was being premiered - I was gonna come up London, but had to work late... Did an interview with Keane a while after, had the promo, only realised you directed it when editing piece on them... You seem to be a busy bee now - some great stuff stuff there chap. All the best Tim.

I realized I have been an ardent admirer of Butterfly for sometime now and haven't left mention of what I think of the film. The winding path of circumstances, challenges and traumas life throws at us is adddressed in the film. The pysche is glorified in the film. Like a whirling dust devil, banging and crashing into things until spinning out and balance is brought back into the atmosphere again, Butterfly reveals how the psyche has its own path to salvation and restoration. No matter what is presented to us, a crucified Jesus, a cafe' full of demons, a mysterious cat. PSYCHE controls when we will go from the tight, dark chrysilis to the transfigured butterfly. I liked it!

Hi, Coincidence is a funny thing. I was at the gym this morning and just about to leave when - ooo- what's that, a glimmer of recognition from my peripheral vision? Surely that couldn't be a Lotte Reiniger film playing on the screens... In a GYM. I stuck around watching with glee as gymfolk passed me by, probably thinking I was oogling a young lady or some such, and quickly caught on that someone had paid a wonderful tribute to Lotte Either, that or bleedin' ripped her off. I was pleased after poking around the web to see credit given where credit's due. This particularly interested me because I'm currently working on a video for a band - my first one - which has also been influenced by Reiniger, not to the same extent, but in use of shadow and colour. Hence my coincidence. Strange how events all converge around points in ones life. But AMAZING work! Ive been poking around the site and watching a bunch of stuff. Really really nice.. the girl in the tube... quite possibly the scariest thing I've seen in ages. I shall have nightmares. Last night I drew a cat to feature in the My Little Problem video. Yours is SO much better... Sob. Moog

I was searching for butterfly on iTunes and came across your BUTTERFLY video. The promo intrigued me to purchase it. I will have to share it with some of my friends to give them hope...

I'm fascinated by the Butterfly trailer and am dying to watch the full film, but iTunes US is telling me that it's not available for download! Very, very sad . . . in any case, I'll be awaiting the DVD release!

Hey Corin, Seems like another lifetime, its weird how you remember certain things when you walk back into your history. Divebombing Parrot in the playground. Why was I thinking that? I like what you're doing, you always were good at delving into the darker side of the mind. You should get me a copy of your latest works. 5 years is a long time it'd better be good. Take care and I hope things go well for you, Keep in touch, Your long lost friend, Chris M.....

Hey there! Im liking your site, its very cool indeed! i like the cat in the corner that blinks! Any hoo, keep me posted on that puppet thing, it sounds great! Hope you are well xxx

Corin I have just returned from your marvelous workshop at Chiddingly.

I became aware of Butterfly when I watched the Bedshaped video, and I think you're an incredible artist! I hope to see Butterfly soon.

Hi Corin

Any chance you could de-spam your guestbook! From the website addresses it looks like most are just posting links to their sites to boost their google ratings, not here with any interest in Butterfly 8o( I don't mind helping if you are too busy, I run the UserQ site, so I hope I am trustable! If there is anything else I can help with just send me an email or ask Paddi for my phone number (I am not posting it here!)

How's the dvd coming along?

Drop me an email sometime and we'll hook up for a drink or ten.

Hey Corin
Don't know if you remember us but we spoke to you after Keane Amsterdam's gig about the videos, and we saw you in Lille when you were leaving.
The videos went perfectly well in Lille, right on time, no gap at all. Told you we'd be checking :oD
Thanks a lot for the little chat on Wednesday, it was really interesting meeting you and being able to thank you for the great vids.
Keep going
Ronan

I thought the film is just beautiful, simle and perfect.

Hello Corin, A recent thread was posted on the Keaneshaped site asking us to give our views on what we thought your 'Bedshaped' video clip meant. I gave my interpretation which seemed to be well received, but I know there are details I've overlooked. Then there's the question of the 'other' Roxley?!
Personally I think the video clip is very moving and extremely well directed in every aspect from the animation, symbolism, iconism, use of colour and imagery, its awesome. I haven't seen Butterfly in full and hope I can view it somewhere soon. Is there a remote possibility you could post we Keane fans with a message about Bedshaped, Butterfly and Mysterious Cat PLEEEZE!?
A big THANKYOU regardless, for Bedshaped has sentimental value for me and will always be special.

Hi!! hows it going? just to let you know that the show im working on (Tin Drum) is showing from wednesday 9th of march to saturday 12th. its on at 2.00 and 7.00 each day (apart fron wednesday when its only on at 7.30).
it would be wicked if you could come!!

Saw Butterfly for the first time last weekend, at Hastings Electric Palace. What a superb film and an excellent achievment. I also enjoyed 'Cocooned' - 'the making of' which really highlighted just how much effort was involved. Was going to suggest a showing at the Hailsham film club (at the Pavillion) but I see from previous postings it has already been shown there. Shame, as I would not mind a chance to see it all again. Cannot wait for the DVD.

BTW, I think it was me you captured on video at the Chiddingly Festival two or three years ago. It was in the sculpture garden and I remember enthusing (possibly rather too much?) about the Six Bells pub! Strange I remember that but not what I went to see at the festival?

Totally overwhelmed not only by the film which I saw in Hastings but by the wonderful support you had from your family. A family like that is worth everything.

A CHANCE TO CATCH BUTTERFLY IN HASTINGS

Butterfly will be screening this Friday & Saturday night at Hastings Electric Palace Cinema (www.electricpalacecinema.com)
The film will be introduced by Director Corin Hardy who also created the videos for Bedshaped and Somewhere Only We Know. It will be followed by 'Cocooned' which see's the 5 year task of creating Butterfly recorded by the Director - an 'unconventional' Making Of - as well as a cinema screening of the video for Bedshaped. A Q & A session may follow with Corin after the programme.

Programmes begin at 8pm on Friday 21st and Sat 22nd of January - there is only 50 seats in the cinema so get there early to get a seat. Full programme lasts until approx 9.30pm

argh its driving me mad waiting hurry and finish the DVD :p

Hi Corin,
finally made it onto your website.
The trailer for butterfly looks fantatsic, i just wish i'd known it was on over Christmas.
You MUST let me know when there's another London screening!
Speak to you soon i hope.
xxxxxx

Saw Butterfly on the community channel last night, i honestly didnt realise how dark it was. However saying that i still loved it. Would love to see it on a big screen though!

I saw your video for Bedshaped and absolutely adored it. I hope to see Butterfly soon. I've become very interested in it. Keep up the awesome work.

Hi Corin, was a great suprise to see you turn up at Hailsham. Great to see the making of Butterfly too as I had never seen that before. It was the second time seeing Butterfly and it seemed even better than the first (if thats possible). Shame about the delay putting the film on, that was probably my fault as I was the person talking about the UserQ site for Paddi and I had had to change the projector setting (Oops, very sorry!)

hey corin, is your film already on DVD? if yes...i really need one. greetings from my sisters. good old drummer dorian

I caught the end of Butterfly and so want to see the whole thing. Please if you have a mailing list put me on it as I would buy the DVD too! Also let me know if there will be any screenings in Bristol.

To everyone who's wonderfully writing in and with more more regularity - about seeing Butterfly - Please keep holding on.. There's a few opportuniies coming up.. A Belgian Animation ditributer has put it on a DVD as part of this years 'Anima 2004' Festival (in which Butterfly came 1st!) Also there's going to be two screenings down South shortly - One is in Hailsham (near where Keane are from) Possibly another in Hastings (bizzarrely even nearer where Keane are from..)
Finally we're working at getting a really good Butterfly DVD made - along with loads of features and making of s etc.. So please be patient and keep checking this site, which will be updated as things develop.
Thanks C.

I think the whole story sounds amazing and beautiful, I wil lsee this short film no matter what, if i find it, ill tape it aswell. I saw the video on keane - bedshaped and it sends shivers down me each time i see it, its brilliant!

I am trying to contact Corin, the director to see if it is possible to screen butterfly at the Electric Palace cinema in Hastings - i can be contacted on info@electricpalacecinema.com thanks

I only came across this animation via Keane's 'Bedshaped' music video, it was beautiful, unique and very deep. The song and visuals complemented each other perfectly. It was only after looking the animation up online did I realise that this animation was extracted from the 'Butterfly' short film. I have not seen this short film, but I would love to have the opportunity to see and even more to buy it on DVD. I hope that it is promoted if it is released, I would be interested without a doubt.

Where can i get this film??? I have searched the entire uk for this and still i can't find it. Please let me know as soon as possible. It inspired me in many ways and i would love to be re-inspired. e-mail me terrypsycho@hotmail.com. thankyou

saw butterfly last week flicking through the channels. it upsets me to think that this film is so unique. there's so much deep thought in it, it's a metaphor for a lot of people's lives. i loved it, i need the dvd NOW! would love to hear of any similarly minded stuff - music, artwork, animation etc. that's on the internet / tv or music world. already know about slowlydownward.com and radiohead.com - visit them too, everyone! i need more stuff that rubs my face in the tatters of my soul.

Saw butterfly last night and can't stop thinking about it. Just magic. I don't do crying, as a rule, (far too macho) but you broke my resistance. I work in mental health and I've never seen it portrayed so beatifully and ultimately so positively. Bravo.|

Check out the Keane website www.keanemusic.com where there's a link to an interview which is pretty in detail. Also there was a feature in the last issue of 'Creative Revue' on him. He did the new Dogs Die In Hot Cars video which is on their site www.dogddieinhotcars.com and on their new single 'Lounger'.|

Great comments,
Looking forward to seeing more on mysterious cat,
Brilliant Keane vids, Butterfly was excellent too of course,
Keep at it young Jedi!

I've seen the trailer of Butterfly, and i can't wait to catch the movie!!! I'm at the other end of the world, Singapore, is the any chance of you to show it here?|

Wahey Corin, look who's successful!

I sooo badly want a copy of the Keane videos! I've barely seen half of one of them! The world is ahead of me, it's not fair ;).|

Hey, I'm loving Butterfly, like most people stumbled onto butterfly through the keene video and from what i've seen it wont dissapoint. Can't wait for the DVD or Mysterious cat either.

There's been a phenominal response to the Bedshaped video, thanks for your interest - for anyone wanting to see the film - we're working on getting a Butterfly DVD together. This will feature the film itself alongside special making ofs which incorporate footage I shot over the 5year process, start to finish/premieres/Edinburgh Film Fest etc as well as designs and trailers etc. Keep an eye out over the coming months, we'll update this accordingly.|

I abselutely adore the bedshaped video; it's what brought me to keane and also lifted me out of a dark time. It's THE BEST music video I have ever seen. I have it recorded on my digi box named DO NOT DELETE and it can make me cry I like it so much. I watched the advert for butterfly and I would love to watch it if I ever had the chance. Thank you for making this video, thank you so much :)

Corin, really interested in getting in contact. I run a magazine in Eastbourne called East which has featured lots on early Keane and is all about pushing and publicising young local talent of all types. Drop me a line if you have a moment. Cheers, adam.

also saw the article in Creative Review...trailer looks great ...and i'm impressed with your 5 year dedication to one project! keep the stop frame animation alive! i think its great too

i was looking through creative review and saw the feature on corin.. so i visited this site, and i love, LOVE the butterfly trailer on here. i want to see it so much. great stuff, indeed!

Hello! I just wanted to say that I saw the video for Keane's 'Bedshaped' and think it is really great! I wanna see the Butterfly movie now and was wondering how can I do that. Do I have to go to some special screening and or is it on video or something? Thanx for reading this message.

| Date Submitted: | Name: James | Location: uk |

Hey I like the look of your work I think it's great and really detailed, but I can only access the trailer where could I see the whole film?

| Date Submitted: | Name: Claire | Location: ENGLAND |

Heard of Butterfly through the Keane/Bedshaped video. I wondered if there
was any chance that there would be a screening of Butterfly that co incided
with the Keane show in Brixton Academy? I know many people from the Keane
board would love to see the film and a lot of them will obviously be around
in London at that time.

Might be a long shot I know but thought it was worth a mention as I myself
would love to see the film.

Thanks

Claire

Hi, My name is Hur. I'm Korean.
I'm very impressed to see your movie, butterfly in SICAF.
Thank you for making like this good movie.
I feel like such as reading a literature.
When the movie is going on, I continually astonished "WOW! WOW!"

I'm studing and making some movie in Academy, the title is "RULER", say about leadership.
I think it will finished until this year

If it is possible, I want to get the movie to use a reference of my studing.

I thank you again.

(I have many thing want to say, but my English is not good... )

Love the Keane Vid - great to see Butterfly out there!
