The short film POKMAN "The Chase" made in 2009, was an exploration in placing La Pok into the urban environment. The chase as a plot enabled the characters Pokman, Fft and Chicken Heart to move through different landscapes. Their costumes juxtapose their surroundings, creating unexpected scenes in familiar settings. I don't have the movie at the moment, but will post it soon...
As we moved through different scenes, peoples reaction where varied. Little kids stared in amazement, some people applauded some people ignored us and one security guard escorted us out of the Northcote Plaza.

This was my first attempt at making a short film and was a lot of fun. It was interesting to see what we could come up with using a minimum of materials. Basically cardboard, string and paint. From here we have begun planing another movie APokAFari, which will be shot at Tambo Station.
What I have learnt making this short film is that we need more durable customs, as they did not wether well. However we intend to still use found and recycled materials for costumes and sets.
