Right. So. Great news everyone! We’ve got a very exciting job starting soon. We can’t go into exactly what it involves, but we can’t wait to get cracking. More news to follow.
Watch this space for the IBM job, currently in post-production, and our short film - both of which are due soon.
All in all, a great start to 2010!
Ben, Jos, Phil and Ed headed down to the BFI on the southbank yesterday for onedotzero’s closing night. It was a great night and really flattering to see This Is Where We Live up on the big screen with such a great collection of films. We got to meet some talented fellow film makers (Max Hattler and Chris Gavin) and Phil and Ed got to watch Ben and Jos’ first ever live interview on stage! All in all a brilliant day. Many thanks to Shane Walter, Jo Shallow and the team for looking after us and the opportunity to attend.
We have just finished an iPhone application demo video for Enhanced Editions. They’ve created a wicked app that lets you read a book on your iPhone using all the intuative interaction stuff that goes along with the phone. The first title is Nick Cave’s Bunny Monro. Imagine reading the book, listening to a sound track by Nick himself, then switching seamlessly to Nick reading the book to you when you get up to leave the tube…..actually watch the video it’ll do a much better job of explaining it!

A quick update to say This Is Where We Live has been accepted to be shown at both onedotzero at the BFI and Rushes - Soho Shorts Festival. We’re over the moon, and remain gratefully chuffed that this film of ours has captured so many peoples imaginations.
So, as mentioned earlier, we got to go to Annecy with This Is Where We Live. It’s basically the animation section that split off from Cannes and is now held in a very beautiful French town near Geneva.

Ben gets all arty
Ben, Jordan and Ed managed to make it down and it was an amazing experience. We went to meet people and to party a little bit. I reckon we did pretty well with both! Unfortunately we didn’t win the catagory in which we entered (Comissioned Films), the BBC’s April Fools iPlayer ad with flying penguins did, but it was a real honour to be nominated and to take part in the event.

A test Jos did a while back.

Jos works very bloody hard, and maybe that’s a good thing. When he has a spare couple of hours he’s liable to create tests like this, showing what happens when a male BNC connector and two female BNC connectors love each other very much…
Hey, thanks to everyone who checked out the Apple animation. If you do feel inclined to vote for it, then slightly annoyingly you have to go to here then search for “benandjos” and vote, as you can’t link directly to it. Cheers!
This is an animated short made in 8 hours in the depths of a Sunday hangover. It was made for You Tube’s 48hr Cannes Lions competition. When You Tube have got their act togther I’ll post a link so anyone so inclined can vote for it.
So Jordan has put us all to shame; being really proactive about entering This Is Where We Live into competitions (nice one J!) One of these was the FMX and Imagine Innovation In Animation Award and… well… we won! Jordan’s heading over to FMX in Germany to see it screened and to eat a lot of Bratwurst. Needless to say, we’re all very chuffed and this is a great opportunity to say a big thanks to everyone who made it possible.
