"Mime Time" Music

Today I received the music that Kev Ryder had been working on for my "Mime Time" animation. Although I do very much like the music, I wont be using it on my animation because I feel that it doesn't fit. The music that Kev provided was very techno-ish whereas I wanted something with a classical sound; something to fit the traditional feel.
I think that I will have to leave the music as it is for now so that I can focus on my current project. I may go back to it sometime in the future though.

ASHman

Earlier today I recieved an email from Desique explaining the situation with the ASHman designing.
The work that I submitted so far will NOT be used as apparently it didn't meet the deadline although I was never informed of one. I shan't be recieving any payment for the work but will recieve £50 from Desique as a goodwill gesture because of all the confusion I suffered.
Apparently there will be more work available to me in the new year which may involve more character work or just simple little logo pieces. I'll have to wait to find out the details if and when it happens.

Animate! TV

Last night, at midnight, I watched Animate! TV on channel 4. The programme lasted for an hour and showed 6 films/animations.

Magnetic Movie by Semiconductor
In this film, footage of science labs had been worked on to visualise the magnetic fields and static of objects in the scenes.

The Life Size Zoetrope byMark Simon Hewis
A film made on a fairground ride with people holding open sketch books which animate when the ride runs.

End Of The Street by Andy Martin
A poem about the wind passing through the houses of a street as it steadily raises through the Beaufort Wind Scale until it ultimately destroys a house at the end.

Flat Earth by Thomson and Craighead
This whole piece was created with visuals and scripts made from blogs found on the internet. A location is shown as a blog is read out.

'Francis' by Let Me Feel Your Finger First
A short animation describing the behaviour of a cartoon character as its own being.

Tongue Of The Hidden by David Alexander Anderson
All of the characters and environments are created from the letters and words of the Iranian poem which is being animated.
