Plank mania is in full swing. The past few months have been frantically busy organising crew and cast for The Plankers. The team has expanded as quickly as the Plank fashion has swept through the pages of the script, soon to escape the far reaches of Ian’s imagination and to become a worldwide reality. Planking!



Only days before filming begins, and already we have experienced tears and tantrums, fraught times, madness and magic. Sweat is made sweet by the sheer hard work and good humour of all involved and we are humbled by the extreme talent and professionalism of the people on board who want to see The Plankers succeed as much as we do.



Let the games begin! Ding ding!

It's always nice to take a break from the "hardships" of creating a movie, and when ya let your hair down, you may as well go all out!

Recently had a fabulous Xmas party, check out the link “Xmas Party (03/12/06)” on Tony’s site -

for all the mayhem!

Filming of the plankers concept shorts went off without a hitch, with sunny weather, gorgeous actors and planks of wood left right and centre. A few members of the public we approached to help out with the crowd scene where only too happy to help, in fact, they where so good, hiring them full time wouldn't have been a bad idea! After the trampling of crowds, whizzing of bicycles with riders deftly balancing planks, groping of 4x2s and comparisons between the guys as to who had the biggest plank, filming was over as quickly as it had begun with payment of pints in the sun greatly received.
