Drawing inspiration from the album cover of The Prodigy's '90s classic Fat Of The Land, with some Terminator T-1000 thrown in, Finnish director Anton Tammi has created a superb combination of visuals, editing and VFX for Bruce Smear's Pick & Roll with simple yet visually arresting ingredients - a couple of crabs, a scorpion and metallic liquid. A tabletop shoot in Brooklyn last year has been transformed, as result of months of editing back in his hometown of Helsinki, into an brilliantly kinetic exercise in twisted super-reality. And no animals were harmed making this film, it says here, not even by that fork.
