We hope you like it.

The paint’s still wet in a few places, so please bear with us while we make the finishing touches.

You’ll also notice that Chef Julian has returned from his 7 months travelling abroad. He has presents for everyone, but he’s also bought himself a new iPhone4 and will now resume his duties as our official representative on Twitter.

So, have a look around – what do people think of webakestuff.co.uk version 3?

I present to thee my final piece of work whilst at Escape Studios.

Everything was completed by myself from modeling, tracking, removing lens distortion, removing tracking markers, through to rendering and compositing (with quite a few other steps in between!). (Edit: Due to legal reasons I have to state that Gate “did the acting”).

So, as short and sweet as it may be, enjoy! (as always crits of the goods and the bads are always welcomed)

Chef Adam

Well that was unexpected.

You may remember that Richard and Dan entered a competition run by Wicked Pig pork snacks to find a new comedy double act. The film, ‘Disparate Set Pieces’ saw Richard and Dan playing caricatures of themselves, in a film about making films. It was basically a satire of The Bakery.

To our immense surprise – we won!

That’s right: Richard and Dan are the new faces of Stytv and Wicked Pig pork snacks. That’s the most bizarre sentence I’ve ever typed. Look:

What does this mean?

Well, firstly, according to the terms and conditions:

Richard and Dan will not express preference for any other snack category for a 12 month period

Which, given Dan’s appetite, will be something of a challenge. But more importantly:

Over the next few months Richard and Dan are going to be set a series of comic challenges, which they will have to tackle and document on film. The challenges will be set by Wicked Pig, and will come as a complete surprise to our duo. God alone knows what they’re going to get them to do.

The Bakery’s summer has just got a hell of a lot busier . . .

Chefs Richard and Dan have entered the following video into a competition to find “the best double act since Horne & Corden.”

Will they achieve their ultimate goal and become the face of a new pork snack?

It’s been a while since I last posted so I didn’t want to thrust something too epic onto the unsuspecting, so here’s a nice little photo. :)

Comments on the back of a postcard.

In times gone by, when Coffee & Corks was still the centre of Canterbury’s cafe culture, Michael Jackson had only just ceased being the baby sitter of choice for parents strapped for cash, and Tom German hadn’t yet broken the Estonian dubstep-black-metal scene, chefs Richard, Dan and Tom decided it would be quite the pleasant evening if they were to play the local folk open-mic night.

Calling themselves ‘Baffin Island’ – a name that would encapsulate the transient nature of the ‘band’ – they concluded that this night would be a one off, a tour de force of creativity, and, perhaps most importantly, that it would not be documented in any way.

It seems, however, that when they arrived at Coffee & Corks to play this now infamous gig, fate (or at least a budding anthropologist by the name of Pip Price) had other plans…

Ladies and Gentleman, Lazy Anthropology:

A couple of weekends ago the Bakery was mobilised, and after much hard work from both the Canterbury and London offices – plus lots of help from non-bakery freelance scientists – some new Doritos films were born.

These films are all entries into the new Doritos King of Ads competition. Those veteran observers of all things The Bakery may remember that we produced something similar a couple of years that won an award…

…So fingers crossed!

Enjoy.
