In the era of boybands and pop music, the early 2000s TV channels didn’t offer much for the “alternative” music scene. Two South Londoners tried to change that, starting up their own music video channel, they soared above the top dogs, until they tried to bring them down. Through Interviews with bands, fan’s and the creator’s of P-Rock TV we look into DIY nature of the punk, ska, “alternative” music industry. Shining a light on the community this music scene has as well as answering the age old mystery of what happened to P-Rock TV. Many elements of the story will be told through dramatizations, in style of early 2000s music videos, using mixed media such as stop motion, 2d animation as well as shooting on mini dv and film. The overall tone should be uplifting, championing forging your own path and sometimes the only way too get something done is say fuck it and do it yourself.

Hello explores changes in two people’s working lives: a Mexican trash picker who separates and collects recyclable materials from landfills to sell by the kilo, and a German freelance computer-animation designer working for the advertising industry in Berlin. The double interview is controlled and manipulated by a computer-generated severed hand which Maria describes as an object once discovered in the trash while working in the violent northern town of Mexicali. This CGI hand was in turn produced by Max, who was born with no arms, and sought refuge in computer-imaging as a means to operate and manipulate a digital reality.
