This month has been incredibly productive and quite a manic time!
Work is already on it’s way producing the Production Bibles for the two children’s TV series ideas developed by myself and talented script writer, Jayne Kirkham. A pitch meeting with Cartoon Network has been arranged for the start of November - which we are very excited about.
Time was spent this month on developing characters and a script for an animated short film called “Rose”. An application has been sent in to the Screen South Digital Shorts scheme in the hope of some funding money to put the animated short film into production.
I was also invited along to the Brighthelm Centre in Brighton by Sussex Downs College to give a talk on the importance of setting industry briefs to students. Last year I set an industry brief to the BA Multimedia students at Sussex Downs College to re-brand one of three fictitious satellite TV channels - which went down incredibly well & I have been invited back this year to set the same brief to the next batch of final year students.
I was given the opportunity to put on my teacher’s hat this month & do a bit of Maya tutoring to a local company, Hudoq. Which was something I had not done since I was a software demonstrator for Maya (back then owned by Alias/Wavefront!) - but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
AnimNation are just about to start work on some more concept artwork for Sony and 3D models and animated assets for an online Flash gambling website.
The Brighton Digital Festival is coming up fast!
Flash on the Beach - 4th - 7th November
We’re only a week and half away until the start of the Flash On The Beach conference - which will be hosting talks and workshops by some of the world’s best Flash experts. I was very lucky enough to win my ticket to the conference this year by creating a Flash banner to advertise the conference. The entries to the competition were judged by the Flash Coders New York group and I was privileged to win 1st place!

I will be putting in an appearance at the DScape Portfolio Clinic as an industry representative. The evening is designed for students and freelancers to have a one-to-one meeting with the best local digital companies to show their portfolio in the hope of getting some expert advice and possibly some work!
