meeting with Mark and Rob
This is only a test post, as we are currently discussing the Creative and Media Diploma Unit 6 (Digital Technologies) and looking at methods for documenting the students work. This process sure does have its advantages, especially in terms of a safe storage location. Having delivered several sessions and workshops on the unit last year, I'm looking forward to working with the new Year 11s this September.

Year 7 Self Portrait Animation
Another week and another film has been added to the Ivisualise Player. This time it's a film produced in 2010, so it's brand new, and by one of my groups I am teaching as part of my 'artist in residence' role at Matravers School in Westbury.
A Year 7 self portrait animation project I led together with the class art teacher David Oakley. This film was produced in a 2 hour session with the group of 25 students, who all worked in small groups of 2 or 3 to animate their own self portraits, using pen on acetate and handheld digital cameras to capture that flowing movement.

The kids are a joy to work with and they really got to grips with the concept of animation and working in their teams very quickly. We are now working together to produce an animated film version of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" which is very exciting.
The animation is cut to a beautiful track by Athlete "I Love". Visit: www.athlete.mu/home

Teenage Pregnancy Animation now online!
The animation "Too Much Too Young" is now available to watch on the Ivisualise Player. The film, which addresses the subject of teenage pregnancy, was produced by Year 11 students at Matravers School in Westbury.
This animation combines stop frame, photography and pixelation to tell a story about teenage pregnancy.
The film was made during a work experience placement, with the 6 kids involved planning their film, scriptwriting, designing their characters and backgrounds as well as going out around the town with stills cameras. The project was mentored by Jamie McDine.
The film was recently screened at the festival Creative Juice and has been used within the school to help teachers and students address teenage pregnancy.

The film "Too Much Too Young" will be shown together with the Generation Europa film, produced by Wiltshire students during the Summer in Germany on an international summer school I organised with the Offener Kanal in Magdeburg. The animation will be added to the Ivisualise Player very soon.

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
