Networking

 I just found a facebook group for networking artists and musicians...it seems pretty quiet but I met a certain musician who is looking at composing something for Fresh Air. Although the original version has a sound track with foley and some Radio Quiz noises - which I voiced myself - I'm interested in considering multiple versions of the same short film with different soundtracks. Watch this space to see where this one goes!

Animated Music Video

Apple Size Golden Clitoris - from the track/ album of the same name...A major challenge...working with an old friend and singer-songwriter Jan Allain on an animated music video. A long track, (over 5 minutes) and difficult to synchronise to the beat - not least because this is working backwards for me  - but made very much easier because I kept imagining Jan's explosive laugh in my ear in the good bits.
A very interesting project , which also involved the challenges of an absence of linear narrative, animating a clitoris, and representing someone else - professionally - through an animated portrait. What do you think of the end result? (Youtube) Beware; apparently its a persistent earworm.

Estings - or not

Channel 4 put out a call for 10 second ident animations for E4 Estings...so wish I'd done this BEFORE Jan's video as it really helped me work out the easiest way to synchronise when starting from the music. They didn't want it, but unfortunately it's no use for anything else. There's probably a moral there in picking your themes carefully and always having an eye on recycling!
