Madron - The Visor

We're thrilled to announce our latest animation project, Madron, which we've produced for Welsh broadcaster S4C. It's a pioneering multi-platform comic spanning television, live events and mobile technology. The story starts with a broadcast TV animation, and then continues in interactive comic books that you download for your tablet and mobile phone.

For the stunning visuals, we've been working with the amazing animators at Planet Jump and fantastic interactive company Cube. The Welsh-language version premiered on S4C on May 22nd.

The English version will be launched soon...

Bloodhound TV Show is finalist for the Japan Prize

We're very proud that our BBC 2 programme The Bloodhound Adventure has made the finals of this year's Japan Prize. The Japan Prize is one of the most prestigious international awards and it'll be a great honour if we win. Glasshead has won the prize before and we've previously short-listed twice.

From the race track to the airfield, from sky diving to water skiing, this programme looks at the challenges behind the development of the cutting edge car that will attempt to travel over 1,000mph.

New Offices

Glasshead has moved offices and we're now based in central London, close to St James's Square. The nearest tube is Piccadilly Circus. Do drop in if you're passing nearby.

Our new address is:

Glasshead
Norfolk House 6th Floor
30 Charles II Street
St. James's

And our new phone number is 020 7099 5407.

Bloodhound SSC at Downing Street

It was great being invited to Number 10 Downing Street, as the Bloodhound show-car was parked outside and Bloodhound driver Andy Green met the prime minister. Above is a video, made from some of the footage which we shot on the day.

Bloodhound SSC (Super Sonic Car) is the fastest car in the world, aiming to reach 1000mph. We're the main production company working behind the scenes with plans to follow Bloodhound over the next two years. We aim to raise most of the money for our Bloodhound documentaries from sponsorship and we're currently in talks with major international broadcasters.

Self Surgery

TLC has recently transmitted our latest shock doc Self Surgery in many different countries.

From backyard botox, DIY dentistry, to self administered sex change operations, increasing numbers of people are taking medical matters into their own hands. And some have even filmed their procedures...

Self Surgery follows eight people who've operated on themselves as they visit medical specialists to find out whether they've done permanent damage.
