SO… I’m been pretty lucky lately (well some may call it luck, some may call it hard work!), and i’ve just finished an amazing two weeks work experience at ITV, where i worked with 14-17 year olds on a ‘work inspiration’ scheme (definitely in the top 10 experiences of my life!). And have also sent out about a thousand emails, to which i’ve manage to get a total of two responses (one which is a result of working with ITV), which are:
- MAKE - Based in Huddersfield media centre, ‘MAKE is a digital agency bursting with mobile & web creativity, passion and experience.’ Had a response from a guy named Warren who said he is more than happy to go for a coffee and see what i can do for them sometime soon, just have to drop him an email tomorrow to set up a date.
- Candu Media - Received an email about opportunities within production and after a few emails to and fro i’m on my way to Ossett this Wednesday to meet the assistant director Neil to watch recording for a new tv channel and to discuss opportunities of experience within his business.
Also, from my work at ITV i am on line for some more work experience with them:
- Working as a runner in the news room and hopefully some shadowing of the pa’s (if you’ve never seen what they do in the gallery it is laterally amazing!)
- Working as 3rd assistant director at Emmerdale
May i add to this, yes i’m getting quite a bit of work experience but its from non stop nagging and chasing people up! But my summer project and my dissertation is seriously suffering for it!
I love this
Two-year-old chimpanzee Do Do feeds milk to Aorn, a 60-day-old tiger cub, at Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo in Samut Prakan province on the outskirts of Bangkok. The crocodile farm, used as a tourist attraction, houses some 80,000 crocodiles and is the largest in Thailand.

Haha, so simple, but i love this
“The Cyclotrope” is a device recently built and animated by Tim Wheatley. It was inspired by early inventions for displaying motion pictures such as the Zoetrope and Praxinoscope
A music video for Danger Beach’s song “Apache,” animated/directed by Ned Wenlock and character design by Rodney Selby.
“The track made me think of traveling but I think a lot of music video’s use this device so I was looking for a new way to show traveling without just having panning backgrounds etc. I thought it’d be cool if you could see more of where he’s going and where he’s been. This made me think of bending the plane he’s on like a roll of paper going through a print machine so we can see shapes of things to come. I added more rolls so he could move between planes which he does on the train ride. When it was set up I tried to think of different way’s this system could be used to illustrate a scene, starting with quite a simple desert scape and the inside of a cave to the more complex scenes with the train where the motion bleeds together. I’m already thinking about new projects where I can push this idea further. A more graphic less literal approach might be interesting.
The textures, colours and bits of postcard are a nod towards nostalgia for the old west as depicted in kids books and films.”
‘A multimedia studio named Sweat Shoppe has “developed a new interactive technology that enables them to explore the relationship between video, mark making and architecture.” They call this technique “video painting,” which doesn’t use any paint or post-production effects.’
