Do the Green Thing - See how Mary, Joseph and their donkey did it
Jesus was born in a simple manger in a bare stable in Bethlehem. Perhaps this was because Mary and Joseph knew that it just would have been wrong to surround God's son with the conspicuous consumption that defines many peoples lives today. Perhaps every now and again we can choose to revel in the glory of an old thing rather than a new thing, and do the planet a favour too

Dirty Tricks and the Macbook Air Commercial by Mac Man Macmanaman
Make no mistake i think apple and their computers are AWESOME after all I made my video on my old mac which I love. I just don't like the way they use devius tricks to make you think you need there newest product and you have to have it and you are not cool unless you spend your thousands of bucks to buy it. I don't have the macbook air and no one says I'm not cool.
A second installation by Michael Wright featuring no noodles, one laptop, two monitors, a face sliced in three, a Japanese accent and another sucking pun. Michael Wright each shot in one take only for minimum production suction.
If you turn your lights off and look at it, the night sky is basically one giant dot-to-dot. The ancients joined those dots to make things they thought were important such as water-carriers and lions. Green Thing has joined up those dots to make things that are far more important today -- things like salty snacks and great Arsenal goals. Created by Steven "Carl Sagan" Qua (http://www.squa.co.uk/) and voiced by Daniel "Patrick Moore" Lapaine, (http://www.geocities.com/stagescreen200 1/danielgallery.html) this video is truly universal -- unless you support Manchester United.

Dothegreenthing.com: Short Sharp Shower Deck (Tom Williams)
Short Sharp Shower Deck was thought up and shot by talented Green Thing friend Michael Wright (www.hibikifilms.com). It was lit by Stuart Bunce and features the music of John Hegley, Zeep, The Meanies, Martin Jones and Tom Williams. When discussing how the hands should act, Wright was very specific. "They should have the panache of Tony Hart and the confidence of Rachmaninov." A Partizan-Hibiki Films production.
This video was put together solely for the Big Green Challenge. The picture quality is low - except from the Green Thing videos. An excerpt from a talk to senior managers at Axa by James Alexander - that gives an overview of Green Thing - from its conception by Andy Hobsbawm and Naresh Ramchandani - through to its current execution.
Take one person and make her the ultimate twister, taking every chance to consume something new. Now take the same person and make them the ultimate sticker, sticking with what they had wherever possible. How different would their lives be?
On the plus side, he's brilliantly green. On the minus side, he's an asshole. Mister Glovey is directed by Michael Wright and lit by Stuart Bunce - but for how long? Mister Glovey chews up directors for breakfast.

Dear Green Thing, if you wrap a granny, do you need to use porous wrapping paper? Regards, Janet Mapplethorpe. Dear Janet, the granny is meant as a metaphor for an old phone or ipod or typewriter or book or jacket or hat or long playing record, but if you do want to give a granny for Xmas, yes, use porous wrapping paper. Love from Green Thing. by Ben and Greg of Partizan London
Stair-climbers James, Jo and Pete risk their lives by trying to reach the third floor. It's a story of guts and sacrifice; a story of genuine heroes who don't know the meaning of the word 'lift' - or do they? Thanks to the brilliant Michael Wright who wrote and directed the whole bloomin' thing, and to Partizan London who kindly produced it. Director Michael Wright lovingly recreated this famous story of a harrowing climb to the 3rd floor of an office block. James is played by Rob Whitelock, Pete by Euan Wilson and the tragic character of Jo is played by Amy Whitehouse. The hugely atmospheric music was written by Michael Mertens and the video was produced and post-produced by Partizan London. Thankfully, no cast or crew were injured during the making of this hazardous video.
