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

Exclusive Begbie live and acoustic video
Begbie are the latest feature on the Ivisualise Player. No, not that one from Trainspotting, but the excellent Indie band from Magdeburg in Germany. If you don't already know them, then check them out, before the debut album is released later this year! Head on over to: www.myspace.com/begbieband for a listen
As for the video on the Ivisualise Player, Schöne and Koss perform the title song from the stunning football documentary "Blauweiss". This was recorded in front of the Hundertwasser 'Grüne Zitadelle' in Magdeburg city centre in 2007.
This music video was an exclusive extra on the very limited edition bonus DVD (only a magical 74 were ever made) that came with the film "Blauweiss". A full version of the song was later recorded and released on the Heartdisco label, under the title "Blue and White".
"Blauweiss" is a critically acclaimed epic documentary that follows FC Magdeburg and their quest for promotion to the second division in the German Bundesliga. Full of emotion, passion and action, this 105 minute film leaves supporters teary eyed as they reflect upon the season that they came so very close. For more information, please visit: www.ivisualise.co.uk/blauweiss/
I love it towards the end when it goes a bit quiet and if you listen carefully you can hear the tram in the background, as well as the guy who shouts out "Große Klasse, wirklich"! There were a couple of builders who were working on some houses behind the camera and they stopped briefly whilst we recorded the video and seemed to really enjoy it! (the song that is, although I'm sure they enjoyed the quick break as well!)

the artist, new films and wedding photography!
I hope you all had a great Christmas and enjoyed the snow. It's a New Year and I've begun a new job, as 'artist in residence' at Matravers School. It's very enjoyable working with kids aged 11-18 on a variety of subjects and projects, delivered mainly through film, animation and photography, and working with some particularly motivated and talented staff. If you'd like to read more, there is an article online here:

One animated film I made with Year 11 students last year (Too Much Too Young) was shown at a film festival in India last week and will be shown at the Preloader festival in Wiltshire next month. The film is in the archive on the Ivisualise Player if you'd like to watch it. And the featured film on the site this week is an animation with the local community in Westbury at a taster day:

Whilst I have been adding to my portfolio and range of services (I now produce beautiful wedding videos in Wiltshire, Bath and Somerset), Jackie is also working as a portrait and wedding photographer, shooting and editing wedding photos for a very competitive (cheap) rate! Check out some of her work and information here:

As always, if you know of anyone getting married, who may be interested in our work, or may just enjoy watching the odd film for free, then please pass this email on. I'd also love to see some of your feedback or the odd message on the guest book of the website, or on each individual video via the Vimeo link.
On days when I am not at school, I am currently producing corporate films and commercial work, as well as delivering workshops for various organisations and schools, so if you have a project or an idea, then please do get in touch!
Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2010,
Jamie

Happy Christmas and new website!
I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has visited and supported the Ivisualise Player and my work over the past few months. There will be plenty more added to the site in 2010, so keep coming back and please spread the word about the site!
There is a little animated plasticine Christmas message on the home page this week to enjoy, so please check it out HERE
I wish you all a happy and healthy 2010 and hope it is an exciting and enjoyable one for us all.
Having worked within documentary, short film, music video, corporate and community film for the past 10 years I will also be moving into a slightly new area next year as I will be producing wedding videos. After these copious years of experience of shooting, directing, editing and DVD mastering of projects for various clients around the globe, I'm looking forward to putting my film talents to the use of creating beautiful wedding films.
Having been to friends weddings recently and researched into wedding videographers, it's quite scary to see the quality (or lack of it) of films that are being produced (and for large sums of money). Which is why I am now offering my professional expertise, so that people have something beautiful to cherish and remember forever from their special day - and for a reasonable price.
I have just uploaded the new website for it here: www.wiltshireweddingvideo.info
Please check it out, let me know what you think and spread the word to anyone you know who is getting married!
Thank you and best wishes,
Jamie x

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.
Check it out at: www.ivisualise.de
