Having spent last night catching up with old friends from ‘The Mill‘ in Soho, I was reminded of the number of young creatives who are taking the industry by storm. Here’s a short animation by a good friend of mine, Ed Shires: Solar-the-film.

I don’t know about you but today actually felt just the tiniest bit like summer. I seem to remember last year we were basked in sun for a couple of months in spring, only to be drenched again in summer. ‘Global warming’, everyone said…it’s a good thing that we’ve found a new scapegoat- I was planning on blaming the fact that I can’t stop eating cheese and ham toasties on pollution too; I’m sure I can twist it somehow. 

Anyway, enough of my cynicism, here’s an interesting site for aspiring filmmakers. You can create a profile, upload your shorts (short films, not bemudas) and take part in regular competitions. There are many sites like this sprouting up on the old t’internet, and I’ll keep you abreast of the best on this here blog.  Chow for now. 

Here’s a small plug for my old hunting ground. The University of Greenwich are once again exhibiting their talent at the Free Range graduate Art & Design show in east London.

It seems like just yesterday that I was in their position. It’s an exciting event and there will no doubt be an abundance of creative talent on show.

Hello, and welcome to Studiome’s blog. I plan to make this an informal affair; a place where you can watch things, discuss things and keep up to date with the latest developments in the world of film-making and animation. Many thanks must go to Jill from 10 Yetis for setting this blog up for me. They are a very talented group of PR experts and designers and good people to know.

To get the ball rolling, I’ll draw your attention to one of my favourite websites: The people at Aardman Animations have got being ‘quirky’ down to a T. Enjoy.
