40 years

40 years has just won best international short film at the Orlando Film Festival along with a bucket load of other film festival selections and a couple of other prizes for best sound and best cinematography.

It's the first film directed and written by my old friend Russell Appleford. He created the Channel 4 idents and is a 3D wizard. For a short film it has an unprecedented level of CGI effects. That's due to Russ' skills and the fact that he created and animated the monster himself. I helped Russ out by painting the set at Greenford studios (I'm offically a Set Decorater) and Mr Shinn & I also did the type design.

Killing me

Check the music video for Robyn's new track 'Don't Fucking Tell Me What to Do'. It's the first of its kind, a 3D video using no cameras, written entirely in code, with much of the content fed by fans via a Twitter feed. The first portion of the video features a visualization of Robyn’s lyrics in 3D. The remainder of the video is created by users themselves who tweet what is killing them using the Twitter hash tag, #killingme. These tweets are themselves visualized and credited to the user. The video has the potential to become the infinite video as users can continue to add on to the endless stream of #killingme comments. It is also the ethereal video, as as it re-generates with each loading of the URL.

Space: The 3rd Dimension

After a short break, our internal UTI's are back for 09.

Neil Mason, one of our top 3D dudes, has arranged the following, with some poster skills from Dangerous Dave...



3 diverse experts will be chatting their way through 3D spaces past, present and future. Those 3 are:

Gary Shelley - a designer responsible for a wide range of Museum and exhibition design projects in such places as the Museum of London, Tower of London, V & A and the Natural History Museum who currently works for award winning designers Casson Mann.

He's joined by Steve Jensen who is is just finishing Vivienne Westwood's offices and has a range of works spanning 20 years from residential projects to the Big Brother house.

And completing the trio is James Eyre who has worked for the likes of Barber and Osgerby Juggernaut and for the last five years Paul smith, designing windows for the man globally.

Should be good. A write up of what went down will be here a few days after in case you can't make it down.
