“For the first time a professional movie will be designed, made and marketed using everyone’s creativity and drive. Plots, characters, auditions, dailies, marketing – all done together.”

they are giving 55% of the profits to the people who help make the movie – you will be sent 12 surveys over a year and need to fill in 8 making decisions on sound, title etc etc to get your share of the profit – you can also be an extra if you want and will be in the credits.

Might be interesting – they already have the funding to make the movie.

I downloaded google earth too..

here is an example with a good ending…

here are some nasa ones: http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/search/Keyword/Zoom.html

I came across the film below : www.powersof10.com – the world scaled up and down.

Im trying to zoom into my tomato world so i was looking for something with the Earth to use as a guide….

…it may make you feel a little small…

Ive been down at the old Bally shoe factory today… starting to paint my elephant. Here it is virgin white before i started. (thats when it looked its best)

I’m building an unusual artistic and illustrative free online point and click game for my masters. the most similar thing i have been able to find is this game which i love!

basically i want to do a series of about 10 portraits. They will all be unusual, looking at portraiture from different angles (and spaces!) so for example i will have one sewn into cloth, one projected, maybe one in lego, all different mediums but with a digital twist somewhere, i want to do large digital images on a folding screen that i would make in the wood workshop. I have LOADS of ideas and they would also be presented in different ’space’.

I’m also painting one of the elephants for www.goelephants.co.uk at the beginning of may. The design is called ‘all the people of norwich’ and its basically little coloured people – i think it counts as a portraiture themed design! and definitely one in an interesting space…

here is a link to the version of the website that is being tested

Hi… a few people were asking about the page flip code…

At the moment you can wake the bird up and put him into the machine…

Ive also started some pet sewing attempts…

The black and yellow thing is becoming a BirdCat…. the orange jumper is an attempt at felting – I bought lots of old used lambswool jumpers from ebay… big sizes… and then washed them at 90 degrees to shrink. (makes good fabric for animal making according to my sewing book)

I like using old used things to make the pets. It gives them more life.

This is Jonathan (one of my collaborative partners) at my house when we were taking pictures of an exercise book and creating a stop motion animation for the book opening action.

There will be two books on the table. The one that is already made and the excersize book we are making at the moment.
