So I figure, we’re all friends here………..might as well put something unrelated to animation that I’ve been upto this month. BLITZKRIEG BOP is a charity gig I’ve organised in Leamington spa for the last seven years. Each year I pick a different charity to raise for, usually choosing lesser charities that may not have the clout of the main ones. This year money was raised for ‘fight for sight’, a charity specialising in pioneering eye research. The night raised a little over £350 which was nice. Here’s some links to articles that appeared in the local press & photos from the gig.

Bradford Animation Festival → nationalmediamuseum.org.uk

My studio are kindly sending the whole animation team to the Bradford Animation festival next week. The festival is a well known hotbed for inspirational workshops, screenings and talks from some top guys in the industry. Highlights include talks by Christine Phelan (Valve), Lego cinematic animation directors David Brown & Phillip Gray (TT games) and Art & animation director Neil Thompson (Bioware).

If you’re interested in games animation I’d grab yourself a ticket and get down there.
