More animation at Stocksbridge

The animation project at Stocksbridge Nursery and Infants School is going really well. The children are fantastic and they are working really hard. Over the last few weeks we have been animating the farm scene and making machinery parts out of cardboard for the factory set. Here are some recent images from the project. More images and information can be found on the Stocksbridge Filmmakers Blog.

Animation at Stocksbridge

The animation project that I am currently delivering at Stocksbridge Nursery and Infants School is going really well. The children have already developed some very sophisticated animation techniques and are eager to learn more. We have lots more animating to do but all the children are a real joy to work with and have lots of creative ideas to share.

Work Exhibited in Heckmondwike

I currently have four photographic works in the START! Exhibition at the Revive Gallery and Tapas Bar in Heckmondwike. Here is a close up of each of the images. If you are tempted to see the full images, plus more original work by local artists, please pop along to the exhibition.

LBT Sketchbook

Now my Residency is underway at the LBT I have begun to fill my sketchbook with examples of work produced over the year. The sketchbook will present a mixture of photographic work alongside hand drawn images inspired by the photographs. So far I have added images of my montage and composite iphoneography pieces capturing scenes throughout Huddersfield and Todmorden, along with a DSLR montage image of hidden scenes found behind the walls of the Lawrence Batley Theatre. This work is leading up to the production of an animated film based within the LBT which I am due to begin in the New Year...very exciting!!!

Fire Dancing

I attended a fabulous community event at the weekend in Bradford which involved live music, projections and lots of fire..... fire juggling, fire dancing, lanterns, candles and much more. Here are some long exposure images I took of the fire dancing which was superb!

LBT Montage

I have just completed my first montage piece as part of my residency at The Lawrence Batley Theatre. It is a montage of images I captured during my recent tour of the hidden depths of the Theatre. I am using this as a starting point for further montage pieces based around the Theatre, along with a series of pen and ink drawings.
