Zipline Produces Extras for Rhod Gilberts Latest DVD release

This month sees Rhod Gilbert release his latest DVD, and New Tredegar’s Zipline Creative has once again produced Extra content for Wales’ top comedian. The 30 minute mockumentary entitled ‘Back To Llanbobl (Again)’, follows Rhod as he traces the causes of his anger problems around his hometown. “As always it’s a pleasure to be working with Rhod again, I don’t think many comedians are as committed to giving fans good quality, entertaining content in the extras.” Said Producer/Director Rhys Waters. “We were determined to make something original and distinct, and with Rhod’s superb writing and comedic instinct everything fell into place.”
“It was great working with the lads again, last years extras went down really well so it made perfect sense to work with zipline for my new dvd. They are dedicated to making each project the best it can be, which is a brilliant energy to bring on set.” The Zipline team have been producing work with Rhod since 2007, from short films for his stand up tour to the TV series ‘Rhod Gilberts Work Experience’. “Our working relationship has really developed these last few years, and as Rhod’s profile has grown so huge he’s always come back to offer us new opportunities.” Said Nathan, fellow Director on the project.

The mockumentary also features some of Wales top new stand up acts, whom Rhod was eager to give parts too. “It was the perfect opportunity to get some of wales top comedy talent involved, Mike Bubbins, Elis James, Dan Mitchell all wonderful comedic talents that bring the characters in my head to life and add their own flavor.”

Zipline, founded in 2007 has seen steady growth since it began trading and now boasts regular customers like Aston Martin Lagonda, the BBC and Channel 4. Based in New Tredegar, Caerphilly, the company has specialized in producing high quality video, special effects and animated graphics. This years DVD is the follow up to last years hugely successful Rhod Gilbert and The Award Winning Mince Pie, which topped the charts over Christmas 2009.
