Featured on YouTube!

Wowzers!, Zoiks! and indeed Blimey! ‘DON’T TOUCH‘ got featured on YouTube!
Considering I can’t stand watching the bugger any more I’m quite proud. I suppose it’s appropriate to show you it again… as if it’ll look any different featured. *edit – Thought I’d give you the new HD version to oggle at.

Shorts on the Walls

David Allen kindly managed to squeeze DON’T TOUCH into the Shorts on the Walls line up today. Ian went along to introduce it.

It got a pretty good reception, including a nice mention from Chris Unitt on CiB. Just found Eight Eyed Sea Bass also liked it. That’s nice of them too.

Commissioned for 20 Years of Pixar Exhibition

In the first week of of the 2nd year of my course at ECA we (including some people who had only just joined the course) were marched down to the Nation Museum of Scotland to talk about making individual commissions for the up-coming 20 Years of Pixar Exhibition. A big step up from the usual slack pace that most animation courses run on. A lot of the course members suffered from the animation equivalent of The Bends to get over the learning curve. Some, I’m pretty sure cried themselves dry.
