Recently...
I've been working on making a short film about the future of the old Gloucester College building, along with helping provide work experience for students of the existing college.
The old site is set to be demolished to make room for a new housing estate. The film provides an insight into the opinions of local residents, students and architects, regarding the development of the historical city.

Merry Christmas 2009
I've been trying to teach myself Apple Motion today with varied levels of success. It takes ages to render and crashes quite often. The following clip is just a bit of fun that took me the afternoon to piece together.
Oh, and of course - Merry Christmas!

Three Minute Lundy
Just finished uploading a three minute version of my Lundy documentary to the 4 Docs website in the hope of winning a slot on Channel 4 as a Three Minute Wonder.
The new version is considerably shorter than the other two versions that have been made (Lundy and Escape from Lundy Island) and it was a struggle to cram everything into such a short timescale.

To see more photos of our disastrous trip to Lundy, look no further than my dedicated Flickr set.

The things you can do with Garageband
Just something I mixed up with some of the loops included with Apple's Garageband.
For anyone that doesn't know, Garageband can be found on any Mac with the preinstalled iLife suite (so that's pretty much all of them, then). With a little knowledge of music, you can use it to extend, elaborate upon or create entirely new soundtracks, making it an invaluable (if a little limited) tool for editors. The hundreds of included loops are all royalty free and it's quicker and easier to get to grips with than Final Cut Studio's Soundtrack Pro.

Digital Revolution
Been experimenting with the BBC's Digital Revolution competition.
The above was (once again) made with Maxon's awesome Cinema 4D. For anyone else interested, they actually have a very decent demo version available for free download on their website.
Cinema 4D
I've recently been trying to teach myself to use Maxon's Cinema 4D, a 3D animation, graphic and design package. My early experiments have been based on the tutorials from the Cinema 4D R10 Handbook by Anson Call.
That said, there's a lot of useful stuff online, including a tutorial by Grischa Theissen, which demonstrates some of the basic uses of the impressive Mograph plugin to create realtime physics.
