Jess Riegel: The Haircut

-

This is a crazy stop-motion that was made last Saturday, all in one day. My housemate Elie and I came up with the idea, and I set to work animating his, uh, body.

Very bizarre, but quite nice: Watch the movie...

NOWWASHYOURHANDS: Disassemble

-

disassemble.jpg

"There is nothing worse than channeling hours of hard graft into the Mac sitting under your desk, only to be greeted with the non descript 'Fatal Error' message just as you are saving up for the day. The piece of equipment that regularly takes the flak for this event is the one closest to hand: the keyboard.

To emphasize the frustration and brutality often directed towards this simple input peripheral, and as our own exercise in anger management, we bring you the 'Disassemble' Issue. This passive journey through the insides of a keyboard reminds us of the fragile nature of this innocent bystander. So the next time Photoshop unexpectedly quits, spare a thought, breathe in and count to ten. Then calmly re-do the lost work. It'll be quicker the second time."

Childwall Valley Primary School ICT Inspirations

-

Taking the hint from Apple, Childwall Valley Primary School had its own ICT Inspirations:

Recently, the school hosted two animation training days at CVP. Animation encourages language, mathematical, logical, spatial, collaborative and creativity skills. Teachers were taken through the process of model making, creating story boards, filming animation, adding titles, transitions, music and sound effects.

They used iStopMotion, iMovie, iTunes and GarageBand.
