Collabs UK

Collabs Co-Founders Dan and Mark have collaborated with comedian Patrick Monahan for his new upcoming show. That 80's Show features the multi talented Marie McGonigle, Dan and Patrick with music from Mark and will be performed live every day at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer, and will be touring nationally later in the year.

Here's a cheeky trailer involving an ice cream, some slick choreography and some tasteful fashion tips...

We're venturing into the world of freelance promo shoots and showreel productions here at Collabs HQ, and we're pleased to unveil the video for our first client.

It was a pleasure working with Shanelle Clemenson, who's talent and personality made the creative process thoroughly enjoyable.

Last night was a thoroughly enjoyable evening of creative alternative cinema at CineDance'15 in Hackney, London. It was a pleasure to share our work with other dancers, musicians and film makers and witness all the other superb films which were chosen to be screened. There was some inspiring work on display.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to Montse and the rest of the crew at the TripSpace Projects for including us in the final selection of films and also congratulate and commend all the other impressive artists involved.

Here at Collabs we like to celebrate the talents of everyone we are lucky enough to work with. Our good friends Jade and Adrian at Wicked Desperado came on set for the Collabs #9 shoot and made this film about the stars of the show Fredy Beats and Fran Widdowson.

So here's a sneaky glimpse behind the scenes at a Collabs in action. The full video will be released very soon.

Enjoy!

Ever wondered what all eight Collabs crammed into 3 minutes looks and sounds like? So did we, so we made this.

A compilation of clips from our first year in business, featuring the fine talents of Samantha Schnitzler, Eric Johnson, James Stanley, Nick Mills, Shelley Eva Haden, Jade Wheldon, Xena Gusthart, Marc Saad, Ebony Clay, James Eastope, Benjamin Taylor Shepherd, Katie Webster and Kim Noble.

A year ago today we officially launched the Collabs platform with the release of our first video...how time has flown.

The shoot for our ninth collaboration piece was a huge success! Thoroughly enjoyable process working with Fran, Fredy, Jade and Adrian.

Great location, great team, wonderful creative atmosphere and energy.

So excited to see how this one is going to turn out, keep your eyes peeled for the video coming soon.

In the meantime you can have a gander at some behind the scenes shots and the behind the scenes of the 'behind the scenes' shots (if your head can fathom such a thing)

Special mention to Dan Lord at Forecast Designs for these fantastic shots taken on location. You can see more of Dan's great work here;
