Maker Faire

So, as mentioned earlier we did this animation for the Science Fest at the Centre For Life in Newcastle.

We then spent the entire weekend from 9 till 6 shooting pixilation animation with kids, families, ourselves and the staff. Jay did a good post about it HERE. But I am gonna steal some of his content hahahahaha.

It was super FUN. We were often so tired we felt like collapsing... but children have impossible amounts of infectious energy apparently. We also got to see our animation projected on the walls of the Centre For Life which was cool :) Not to mention all the fun stuff that was going on, Musical Lightening...rubix cube robots...mathematical sculptures [more fun than it sounds], ROBOT WARS, virtual fun fair etc etc etc...

So that's what I've been doing this weekend. And last week our Digital City fellowship ended after six months...and I moved back to Newcastle. Which is totally mad, Digital City totally solved my life, if it wasn't for them I'd probably be in the queue at the job centre or something right now...haha

Now i'm back in Newcastle I've LOVED seeing everyone and am basically EXCITED FOR LIFE in general. Summer is on it's way...Berlin and Pictoplasma is soon...we have workshops and animation work lined up, so it's all good really. 2010 has been a mint year so far.

Now I just have to tidy my room which still isn't unpacked....I'll leave you with our showreel [which is still unfinished but you get the idea...] The buddha animation I did, with the background and extra animation + effects by jay is on at the end as well...

THE END.

turps illustration

Been working on making show reels and other animation-y things but I found the time to do another illustration for TURPS magazine. Which is a brillzo local DIY magazine some friends have been putting together. Last month I submitted Happy Guts! and they liked it so I've continued with the Fat-kids-with-their-innards-coming-out theme.

:)

Next month they are printing 4000 copies so I best get a move on with some more ideas...ahhhh

 

I had to rush it cuz I had other crap to do, so I think it could be majorly improved with lots more going on BUT it looks areet when the contrast whacked up which is what it shall look like in the mag so wheeeeeee.

I am in a bit of a crap mood today. bLAh. Need to be productive. Don't wanna be productive. Bleh.
