[edit] Martin Hunter
I spend the majority of my time making, acting in and editing independant films while secretly wishing someone from the top shelf will notice me and give me zounds of cash to make a film.
As you guessed, my lifetime ambition is to become a director and I am very aware that it will be no walk in the park but I'm going to give a damned good shot at it.
[edit] 'The' Lists
My idols, favourite things and favourite people are -
Stanley Kubrick - The greatest director ever
David Cronenberg - Original and Dark
Takashi Miike - Original and adrenaline fueled
Park Chan Wook - Clever and one cool looking cat
Peter Jackson - The king of splatter films
George E Romero - Set the guidelines for how zombies should be
Richard D James - aka. Aphex Twin
Chris Cunningham - a brilliant, non-mainstream director
Michael Gondry - Music and experimental film director
Eric Chahi - Sole game programmer/designer/animator for Another World
Quentin Tarantino - King of film dialogue
John Carpenter - Made the greatest horror film ever, The Thing

[edit] My filmmaking skills? Well...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IspaBE8Wo-w - A fairly immature but surprisingly well recieved movie I used to test the doomed Metal Gear Solid film I had planned. Starring me as Otacon and Snake.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7LzoC5t2nY - The Ugly Boys: Quest for the Fountain of Youth. A short film we made within an hour where three men must try to find the fountain of youth to cure their personal problems - ugliness, rock and roll appeal and thirst. Starring Davey as The Glam Star, Ross Pat as The Lunatic, Ian Todd as The Ugly Fuck and a cameo from myself. In my opinion this is the best film we've made.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VrCPlYK-NA - Lud Wig. The battle between Ludwig Van Beethoven and Che Guevara begins in this exciting film. An older clip. Stars Ross Pat as Beethoven and me as Che Guevara. The whole thing is a big reference to A Clockwork Orange.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oJkrAnxMXU - Kick Cat. The owner was tired of the cat's cries for food whilst he surfed the internet for porno. Starring me and Spike the cat. Was originally planned to be much longer but problems in getting the bloody cat to act prevented me from doing so.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLHSSxgwW_Q - Peter the Monkey's first video blog. Royal Drag Productions hates video blogs and video bloggers. It's a waste of space and incredibly boring. This is a spoof conjured up one night.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stxhMww1DVw - Trigger Happy Bastards. The first film ever made, re-edited from it's glory and made even better. A group of mercenaries are sent in to destory the terrorist threat and rescue some Russian scientists.
[edit] Movie Spoofs and Parodies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxD1EM5z4ZM - Apocalypse Pete. A parody of Apocalypse Now which took me about ten minutes to film and edit. Starring Myself as Pete.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRLAszG7mVU - Spider Ned. A cheap sketch we made, to the theme of Starsky and Hutch. Ned = Scottish Chav/Townie/Thug/Jock. Starring Davey as Spiderned and Ross P.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdCWb9GGmbg - The Terminator 5. Parody of The Terminator starring me as The Terminator and my friend as The Flatmate. Includes references to Kill Bill and Trainspotting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdCWb9GGmbg - Kill Catt. Parody of Kill Bill. Contains quotes from Aliens and Evil Dead 3.
[edit] The Goriest
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mz6oa1O25w - A Close Shave. My first gore test, done in the early hours of the morning. Starring me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIAYMfsv28s - A Closer Shave. Second gore test, much gorier with blacker blood. Starring me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw7mdhUy62U - Potato. An experimental short and a favourite with my stoner friends. Starring me as The Lunatic and Arnold Schwarzenneger. This film has spawned several theories on what it actually means, but you'll never get it from me. Mainly because I like seeing all the cheap ideas that pop up.
[edit] Do I Do Music Videos?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VrCPlYK-NA - Aphex Twin Video 1 - "Windowlicker Remix"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4xKYiBlH4A - Aphex Twin Video 2 - "54 Cymru Beats"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNa6d69iMUA - Aphex Twin Video 2 - "Crying in Your Arms"
[edit] Extra Stuff
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcZBky8W4hM - the Outtakes for The Ugly Boys. Some claim they are funnier than the film itself. Watch as even the cameraman (me) cannot contain the laughter at the sheer brilliance of The Ugly Fuck's 'speech'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFs0P4dvYnQ = One of about ten trailers for Trigger Happy Bastards.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFzQvVr0rpk = Spoof trailer for a film I made by myself called "Brotherhood of the Werewolf". I play all three triplets using cheap computer effects, and the Werewolf. My sister helped me during the beheading scene. The name is a tribute to "Brotherhood of the Wolf" although it bears no resemblance to my movie at all.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMWsmrVnM0Y - Outtakes for Trigger Happy Bastards 2 Parts 1 and 2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRQecr4Ghs8 - Top Ten Royal Drag Deaths.
[edit] Trigger Happy Bastards - The Series
Originally the sequel to our very first film, Trigger Happy Bastards 2 was renamed simply to Trigger Happy Bastards and made into a mini-series so that I could release at least some of it and so that I could get it on youtube in segments. It is known as Trigger Happy Bastards, Trigger Happy Bastards: The Series or simply abbreviated, THB. Starring :
Ross Paterson - Captain Paterson
Martin Hunter - Sergeant Kennedy
Ross Robertson - Private 'Patch'
Ian Todd - Private Barnes
David Lindsay - Private 'Roachie'
Aaron Meikle - Private Meikle
Andy Shaw - Ivo
Gareth Evans - Private Steiner
Josh Grafton - Private Kelly
Robbie McLochlan - Terrorist
Trigger Happy Bastards will be released one after the other in segments. You can expect plenty of plot twists and cliffhangers. This is the most expensive film we have ever worked on and it cost me around two hundred quid on camouflage, combat webbing, a kevlar helmet, guns and more. Thankfully money was saved due to people getting their own gear.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hffxJQy-I3U - Episode 1. We open up at the helicoter crash site. Who are these terrorists? And why did they shoot our chopper down?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jgTSB3lJc8 - Episode 2. We find some more survivors and continue on the path of Thompson and his men.
