Well, we’ve come to the end of the Internship. Last Thursday was our final day. And of course it feels bittersweet. No more two-minute video’s . . . no more Flips . . . the girrrrls are leaving.


I spent the last day finishing the How To Use a Flip Camera video. This involved doing some little diagrams of the Flip to be inserted at specific points throughout the video. Now, these diagrams were not part of the original plan, but since I elected to record the visuals before the audio (stupidly) w… Continue

It’s coming to the end of the Internship and things are easing up. Cass and I have just a few more things to finish up and we’re done. Nooooo! That means uni is almost back! Hours and hours of brain haemorrhage’s to come. Yeah . . . not looking forward to 3rd year.

Last Wednesday was interesting. Cass and I set off for the wonderfully bizarre land that is Central Station to conduct random vox pops. We discovered that it is excruciatingly hard to get people to chat to you on camera. They see you… Continue

This week we finally got to work with the super cool (!) Refill Kids out at Miller Tech High in Liverpool. Cass and I both had so much fun!!

So, armed with both a video and still camera Cass and I set about creating a visual record o… Continue

Okay, I have to admit that this week Cass and I were a bit lazy. Well, perhaps it was just me. Everything seemed muddled. We started working on another one of the ‘How To’ articles that Cass has been doing over the Internship, but this time it was for the Flip Camera. Now, I initially thought we’d have this done by mid morning. However, the fact that Cass and I had conveniently positioned ourselves out on the cosy warehouse couch did not exactly create an environment for a focussed effort. So, w… Continue

This week we have continued to chip away at the animation script for All Around You. Most of Monday was spent compiling all the messy bits and pieces we have done toward the animation thus far so that it resembles a nice, respectable lump of hard work. That includes all our brainstorms, lists, interviews, collages, influences and letters. In the afternoon I showed Cass and Peter a little drawing I had done whilst thinking about the ‘Inspiration List’ we had devised the week before (actually I wa… Continue
