Above is the last supper enjoyed by the Emperor of Rome, Gaius Julius Caesar. Sort of.

I love the high-energy style of filming food that we have seen ont’ telly recently, and fancied a little leap in the direction of that particular bandwagon. This is my own spin on the work done by those crafty Frenchmen… with the idea of making something a little more organic and foodie perhaps.

Ingredients:

  • 152 hrs spent in my shed making rigs.
  • 22,000 elastic bands.
  • 16 visits to B&Q.
  • Milk of the ever wonderful Penny Markham.
  • 6 pints of lightly fingered blue tack.
  • A dusting of fancy fingered Rob Morris, food stylist to the stars. Thank you thank you sir.
  • 1 very happy butcher for all the lamb chops I bought.
  • A most attractive wife to cook prawns into the night.
  • 12 oz. Joe McNally lovely editor man.
  • 1 James ever clever never late Heaphy on after effects.
  • 1 kindest man in the world Paul Harrison, salon colourist.
  • Sellotape.
N.B. No Chris Griffiths’s were harmed in the making of this film.

  1. These pieces are brilliant. The concepts are fabulously thought out and executed.
    Inspiring. I want to work with you, or at the very least be you when I grow up.
    Thank you for laboring over this and sharing. ~ J

  2. Whilst I admit to being pretty much brand new to filming things, I have analysed this shot for shot and still don’t know how half of it was made. The tomatoes at 0:14 are particularly bending my mind? and how did you get so close to the muscles at 0:37-39! I don’t know which bits are after effects and which aren’t :) anyway I found this all very inspiring, thanks :)

  5. Stunning work! Thank you for doing it and sharing it!

    Everyone’s asking about the music. I wondered the same thing. Haven’t you ever heard of Shazam, people?! It’s “The Anthem,” by Onra. I had the song stuck in my head the rest of the day.
