<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here I am, with poet and judge Polly Atkin, local Councillor Christine Wright, and winning poet Sarah Leavesley who wrote the very beautiful <i>That Night</i>. It was a bit cold outside by the sea during the screening, you can probably work that out from our hunched postures, but it was a very clear night, and a great atmosphere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The evening kicked off at Blackpool Central Library, with poetry readings and the announcement of the winners. There was also hot pot!! Despite living here for five years, I have somehow never had this Northern delicacy; I liked it. So did my dog Freddy, who accompanied me and Billy, the film's composer. Freddy kept sniffing the air and looking around him quite optimistically.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
From the library we took coaches to the Illuminations, and onto a big screen watched the film projected. Suprisingly, I took photos:</div>

It was a really wonderful week in Vienna; I loved it. Everyone I met at the Summer School was lovely, and working with the workshop participants was very, very fun. I hope they are proud of the finished film. They gave me a load of chocolate at the end, so I guess they were happy too!Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11395588499523796244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723893500838875885.post-78698643254296112482014-09-10T23:43:00.000+01:002014-09-10T23:43:38.967+01:00The rhyme is losing to the riddlingWe used to be pretty good at maintaining this blog and our "notable" activities, and lately (and by lately I mean the last 12 months or more), we are just rubbish. Well I don't know if that is about to change, but here is a new post nonetheless!<br />
<br />
We've been asked to make a film for Blackpool Council's WordPool Festival of Poetry. As everyone knows, we love a reading and libraries and words, so we are very happy to working on this project. The short (very short) animation will be screened at the Blackpool Illuminations in the evening on October 2nd, which is when the winning poem will be announced and read by its author.<br />

Details are <a href="http://blackpoollibrary.wordpress.com/">here</a>, and lookit, it's a poster:<br />

And guess what, the second installment of Strange Hill High is here. I spent 9 months in a large, cold, dark studio wrangling whatnot from 8am til 6pm, amongst a crew of ridiculously ace people, and here is the fruit of our labour:<br />

Well, you can if you sign up for one of the workshops at Tricky Women Animation Summer!<br />
<br />
We've shown our films at past editions of the <a href="http://www.trickywomen.at/festival/">Tricky Women Animation Festival</a>, and a couple of weeks ago they contacted us about doing a workshop. And thus, Anne will be teaching a 5-day class called "Drawn-Digital Animation Collaboration". Which basically means we'll be making a short 2D animation together, mixing up different styles of animation and different processes both traditional and digital. The resulting film will be based on Marge Piercy's <i>The secretary chant</i>, which she has very kindly given permission to use. It is a fantastic poem; have a read:<br />

The animations are not mentioned, but it does talk a lot about the veterans and the pupils' reactions to meeting them, which is nice. The article includes a really nice letter one of the children wrote in the last session. Very sweet!<br />

This May will be the anniversary, and there are plenty of commemorative events going on in Liverpool.<br />
<br />
I was commissioned to work with a class of 8-9 year olds. We were visited by John and Jack, two veterans of the Battle, who kindly talked to the children about their experiences. Inspired by these, the children are creating two animated films, helped along by me.<br />
<br />
Here's a sneak peek of some illustrations which will be displayed at FACT. I collaged together different children's drawings to create the pictures, one for each film.<br />

The show is called <i>Strange Hill High</i>, and it's on Wednesday 8th at 5pm on the CBBC channel.<br />
<br />
Josh Weinstein, who was one of the writers on <i>The Simpsons</i>, is one of the showrunners, and it stars Doc Brown, Richard Ayoade and Emma Kennedy.<br />
<br />
I've been really proud to work on this programme, as it looks really different from everything else out there, and the scripts are very sharp. It was put together with a strange mixture of live action rod puppets, plus CGI animated mouths and facial expressions (that's me), which in itself is also an unusual way of working.<br />
<br />
Because of its unique look, the show is getting a lot of promo before it airs, which is exciting. <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/caroline-aherne-to-voice-bbc-childrens-series-strange-hill-high-8587215.html">Here's an article from the Independent</a>, and if you go here you can <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0187lwb">watch a bit from BBC Breakfast</a> where Weinstein and Kennedy talk about the show.<br />
<br />
Despite animating on it, I still haven't seen it all put together, so I can't wait to see it!

If you like GLAM and happen to be about Liverpool way tomorrow, come check out this exhibition on at the Tate. We'll be filming 21 seconds of fame, so if you want to pull a few shapes or give it your best 'blue steel', we'll capture the moment for you.<br />

Here's the <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-liverpool/special-event/glam-21st-century-factory-prequel">Tate's website </a>where you can book tickets.<br />
