Two Sided Week

1. Good Thing.

The Animate Journal was featured on the excellent 4mations website. They said:

"I’m not really sure what to make of Paul’s animated experiments but there is something hypnotic and mesmerizing about these snippets of life. It’s like dipping a toe in somebody else’s sensorial experience, vaguely voyeuristic without the seedy Big Brother connotations. Which is a good thing, because somehow I doubt an animator’s lifestyle could compete with the glossy glamour of watching a Z-list celebrity painting their toenails."

2. Not So Good Thing

The promising 5lights tumblr project ended this week. It was shaping up to be something very special, and I was due to be a Monday person on it for a month around autumn. I've started concocting four "pieces" and may follow through with these anyway.

All the best to Lou Noble and Katie West for their future projects.

Enjoy August.

Yellowstone Content Graphics

(movie here)

At BDH we did the titles and content graphics for the BBC NHU series Yellowstone.

Using NASA Landsat and height data to create "shuttle-view" aerials, we had the pleasure of matching the mood and lighting of the amazing footage the team shot on location.

Final Delivery was in HD.

Animated Journal No.1 030709

Still not sure about the name, but anyhow.

I’ve always like the picture a day format, video diaries etc, and wanted to loosen my fixation that animation is a long drawn out torture-fest.

So here I am making it about instincts, ephemera & brevity.

Hopefully weekly, probably more like monthly.

There is no quality guarantee.

Headphones on.
