MA Assessment - transparency
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED - CLARIFICATION REGARDING THIS PROJECT

EHL
Eagle
Moon
These should be self-explanatory. EHL is an acronym of “Eagle has landed”. “Moon”...

Video Essay - My New Blog →
The video essay includes explanation films, ‘how-to’ films, information films, and guides. It can extend to cover most short films with a narrative.
The objective of this site is not to bring you the content first; I want to analyse, write case studies, explore methodologies and generally poke around (to see if I can work out how such works are made!). This means there won’t be a high volume...

Greetings from an animation producer
July 21st, 2011 Posted by sibylle
Animation production is my passion. Seeing a project through from initial brief and sketched ideas to the final animated film is very rewarding and a unique experience every time; working with visionary clients as well as witnessing the fantastic effort of many talented people coming together is inspiring.

Progress 07/07/11
There has been a good amount of progress made on this project.
Progress:
The narration is done, recorded and mixed (see post above). This involved a decent mix down, retiming and general production overhaul and some ‘placeholder’ foley effects. I used to make music for 15 years, and got together with my former collaborator Matt Thomas, who mixed the sound. He has a proper facility...

**Priorities**
I need to get my M.A. completed by 12/08/11 - and this is absolutely my top priority*. Once this is completed and submitted, I will be able to do what I like with my time, and take on a lot more freelance work (or full time employment).
I am not taking on or discussing potential freelance work until this is completed. The exceptional case is for a regular client with whom I have...
