| For the band's live performances at the 2005/2006 award shows, a different visual effects technique was used to project the virtual band onto the stage: Similar to the ] trick, 3D animations of the band are projected on transparent film placed on stage, it creates a feeling that the band members are actually present on the stage. The first such performance by the band was made on ] ], the third night of the Demon Days Live festival, when the band simultaneously appeared at the ] in ] and performed their song "]". However, there was a slight problem concerning the projections. The music on all of these occasions was rather low in volume, which Hewlett and Albarn revealed to be a flaw with the Pepper's ghost technique: if the music was too loud, the screens reflecting the band on stage would vibrate, making their images blurry. This happened with the mash-up performance with Madonna's "Hung Up". | |||

| In 2002, there were plans made for a Gorillaz movie, but it was announced that the film was abandoned because Jamie Hewlett had rejected so many movie scripts. | |||

| ===Reject False Icons=== | |||
| The phrase, "'''Reject False Icons,'''" was first mentioned on November 24, 2004 on a Gorillaz mail out to fans. The mail out can be found here. On December 8, the Gorillaz website was re-opened with a brand new music video, “Rock It”, which has the saying “Reject False Icons” at the end. On December 19th, the 'Reject False Icons' campaign kicked off with the launch of rejectfalseicons.com. Now fans can submit their photos of ways to spread the message by using graffiti or by sticking 'Reject False Icons' stickers that were available for a limited period from the site and from selected record shops in the UK. | |||
