Just something I came across in relation to the note on: "How to make money out of Stop motion"... Music videos!
Have a watch. Quite cool for the Enya fans ;]

Project 3
Hi everyone
The new grid and brief has been posted in its page on the toolbar above. Names of films shown in class have also been posted in the Video Archive page.
Your homework for 3 August is to plot out the 5 second video clip of the ballet dancer into a timing sheet (at 30 fps). The timing sheet template (print out, preferably A3 size), as well as the video clip is in a folder titled "Timing sheet exercise" on the desktop on the Cube's computer. For more info, click here
Click here for a link to Megan Brain's (the paper artist) blog.
Also for 3 August, be prepared to show reference material (this can be films, photographs, paintings etc), sketches, a rough storyboard and whatever else you need to get going with your pre-production.

Flat 4 Animation Evening (Thursday 2 June)
See below for invite, or visit their Facebook page for more info.
After a two month break animation is back at FLaT 4 Studio
2nd June •THURSDAY • 8pm.
We'll be screening A TOWN CALLED PANIC by Stephane Aubier and Vincent Patar.
A whacky full-length fliek which "is like a very lo-fi Toy Story with the vibe of a live-action Terry Gilliam cartoon and the addled craziness of SpongeBob Squarepants".. it's funny and refreshing in a 'barking mad sort of a way'...at least one fit of giggles is guaranteed."
There'll be food for sale from the kitchen (most likely a meat-based minestrone soup if the weather continues in this vein) and the movie is free. Please inform Artemis (flat4studio@gmail.co

Stop Motion Studio
As some of you may have noticed, our shooting studio is nearing completion and is already open for use. So far, there is one multiplane shooter and another two are on their way. There are also 3 shooting booths with removable table-tops and a grid above to attach rigging and lighting.
Be aware that you need to bring your own lights in order to shoot in the space. The booths are small, so the smaller the lights, the better.
In order to secure space in the studio, you must book time-slots through Open Window's new online booking system.
Take note of the new page in the toolbar above in order to view the booking page.
