collections - learning final cut pro

I have had a busy (but fun!) weekend going through all the photos from Thursday's session in the studio. There were over 300 photos to organise and edit.

I also got my animation piece planned (it is due in on this coming Thursday) and it is pretty much finished now. The clip below will hopefully give you a little taster. I will post the finished piece closer to the deadline.

The finished book




Nick's characters

I have been dying to write about this, and as the book came through at the weekend I now can. Last month I spent a very happy few hours at Material in Ludlow. It is a fantastic gallery and shop and a great resource for books, pressies and inspiration in general. Lucy who owns it is really lovely, and together with Nick Morely aka Linocutboy, hosted a fantastic royal wedding themed day. Nick had come up with a simple (but effective!) design for a Royal Wedding themed book (we got to choose the title!) which allows the reader to make some crazy couples by choosing different pages. Everyone there was asked to design either a Prince or Princess, the crazier the better,which we cut out of lino and printed.  The images on Nick's blog  make everything clear!

collections and things organised neatly
