Well this is my first blog entry, my foray into the blogosphere, the yard stick against which all future posts will be measured. So what better subject to get stuck in with than the concept of the ‘blog’.
Blogs must be one of the stranger things to come out of the bright, new world of interwebbing. [...]

I watch a lot of video podcasts – or ‘vodcasts’ as the cool kids say – and I have an iPod so I use iTunes. However iTunes doesn’t really handle video very nicely, I much prefer to use VLC. But finding the vodcast file and opening it in VLC is a pain and I can’t [...]

I’ve been doing work experience at AMV over the last month. One of the things that I’ve been working on is a workflow for video assets – managing assets (and information about them) in the file system and between various databases. We set up some ‘chron jobs’ to trigger scripts that interrogate the assets and [...]

I’ve be learning to use Adobe Illustrator by drawing Apple products (I know, what’s better for vector art than technology, right?) I imported photos and used the path tool to trace the outlines, this meant I got the correct perspective and had a good point of reference to use the path tool with. I kept [...]

UPDATE: I was using this script on my site for a little while but I’ve since switched to a more versatile Wordpress plugin called wp-lifestream.
I’ve been using a great script from Remy Sharp to pull updates from Twitter (using JSON) and present them using AJAX. It’s a versatile tool but only works with Twitter, so [...]

Rich is a lovable guy but he’s got these…rules. He wrote them down in the pub one night and they’re so ridiculous they just needed showing off. As a birthday present for Rich I created this pamphlet. It’s in the style of a magazine problem page; pastel colours, simple shapes, etc.
I wrote the copy and [...]

We’ve worked with the admissions team at uni for 3 years and it’s the people we’ve worked with who have made it great. We wanted to produce a parting gift for them, the result is this video. It’s seven short sketches from stories of our time working on admissions days, we threw it together pretty [...]

I wrote these two stories for The Kat And Iain Show (a uni radio show). They’re cute little stories for a feature called Josie’s Bedtime Story where they were read by Josie.
I think I got the tone right; they’re meant to be charming with a subtle moral and suitable to be read on radio. They [...]

We’ve just finished shooting on A Gamble On Life; my latest adventure to write, produce and edit a classic Film Noir story and style piece! We’ve been shooting for 7 days in Brighton with a cast of 5 and a crew of 3.
I wanted to make a short film that was more intricate and artistic [...]

I’ve been doing live shows during admissions days at uni for the past three years, as a group we’ve got really good at it! This was our final show. Each show combines a live Q&A, 3-4 VT packages, an interview and a tour of the studio facilities. They’re produced and directed from the media technology [...]
