Ian Brown Kiss Ya Lips (No I.D.) Music Video

To celebrate the launch of his new album "My Way", we have something very special from the Ivisualise archives, featuring my favourite singer Ian Brown.

In 2004 I produced the official website for Ian Brown and his album "Solarized" which had 4 million hits in the first 3 weeks! As well as designing and programming the site, I also helped manage the message board and produced video content for the site.

In 2005 many fans submitted artwork, illustrations, animations, photographs and videos, all to represent Ian Brown's Kiss Ya Lips (No I.D.) which I edited and produced. This was an excellent community project and really brought together the creative skills of fans from across the world.

Ian loved the video, but until now it has been unseen by the fans. So now it finally appears in all it's glory on the Ivisualise Player. Thanks and well done to everyone whose work features in the video.

And please check out and buy Ian's fantastic new album "My Way". BUY IT HERE

The kids are highly animated!

This week on the Ivisualise Player is a 90 second compilation of pixelations produced with students from a variety of Wiltshire Schools, all studying the Creative and Media Diploma. The "First Animations" were produced as part of an introduction to the creative and media world and in particular to my work as an independent producer and film maker.

The session was both creative and hands on, with all 60 new diploma students involved in the production of the animation - both in front of the camera, and also behind it controlling the animation software and setting up the camera etc.

It is always fun for me to work with young people, passing on my skills, techniques and mentoring or teaching them in producing their own work. Whilst in Magdeburg, Germany, I led 2 film courses for Year 12 students at the Hegel Gymnasium and the IGS Regina Hildebrandt, each 5 month project culminating in a cinema screening of the student produced films. To see the wonderful films and the reactions from all the students involved made it a thoroughly amazing experience, especially as they presented their films on the big screen in front of their family, friends and general public. Films produced during these projects will be added to the Ivisualise Player at a later date.

So for now, enjoy the pixelations and keep checking back as more films are added to the site! If you are viewing this blog on a standalone page, please visit: www.ivisualise.de
