Ooglies

Ooglies is a kids programme shown on CBBC, my kids think its brilliant and so do i!! it's so funny and makes both me and the kids chuckle loads. i don't know how they do it but i'd like to find out. i really like the idea of giving inanimate objects personalities that reflect their purpose.

stop motion animation

i really like these animations by rhett and link and the behind the scenes clips are really interesting, it look very complicated and time consuming but is really effective, i'd love to try something like this myself.

Com Tech

The things that I want to explore and learn this year are moving image, photography and community arts.
I intend the learn these by attending the workshops, researching and undertaking projects using stop frame animation, claymation, documentary film and photography, storyboarding, music video, special effects and audio.
I kind of feel like the penny is teetering on the edge and is ready to drop any minute! :)

New year, new blog :)

So I've decided to create a new blog for this year, my previous blog was a tumbler one and i didn't reckon much to it so I've decided to make a new one with blogger for this year. I couldn't quite get my head around the whole blogging thing last year so this year I've decided to use it as a diary too, and then that way I might be able to remember to post on a regular basis. Also I think it might be useful to use it as a record of my personal journey as well as my learning journey so here goes! So we're all back after the long summer (didn't actually see much sun though!) it was nice to have some time off after such a busy year but I was really looking forward to coming back and getting back into it. I didn't really get up to much over the holidays (due to lack of funds!) but I did manage to go to a couple of festivals which were good :) Before we broke up I decided I wanted to spend the summer concentrating on trying to lose some weight, get fitter and generally a bit healthier and with great effort and determination I have managed to do this and so far I have lost 3st 10lbs!! I still want to lose some more and have set myself a goal of losing another 2st by christmas so hopefully I will be able to achieve this. I also want to stop smoking at some point and i'm thinking of trying to tackle this in the new year. I'm moving house in a couple of weeks which is exciting but I am a bit worried about the amount of time I'm going to have to do my college work, plus I don't have the internet at home at the moment so I'm really worried about trying to keep up with the work load over the next few weeks. >.<>
