Lean Mean Fighting Old Men

June 15th, 2006

Nope, not a new show from Endemol (but remember where you heard the idea first…) but instead a nice bit of self promotional film work from the chaps at Lean Mean Fighting Machine.

I’ve been working on a little plugin for MediaMonkey that, err… ‘pays homage’ to the nifty context panel in Amarok.

So where does your average ‘digial creative’ go for inspiration and to see state of the art flash work these days?

So far I’ve got:
