Wheres TJ?

Well, Ive been back in Bournemouth for a few days now and I have found our missing TJ! Hes got no internet for a while, he'll have it back when his new housemates: Hozen and Jed gets back. Anyway, he showed me his work and we spoke a bit about our film. Hes done a lot of studies (gestural drawings) from kung fu films and claimed it was a very useful exercise and he feels more confident tackling this animation after that. So I guess it would be encouraged that we all go out and do a few of these ourselves if TJ found it that helpful himself. He also came up with a few good ideas for the movements of certain scenes and suggested possible camera shakes - he saw a film that used this technique very well during one of their action scene.

Oh, and his Nicktoon project looks pretty cool!!!!!!!!!!! We can all have a lil screening of it when we're all together again.

Oh! And and and...... We got our spaces picked! It was hand picked by the tutors. But anyway, we got half the booth that Seiji's Bird Team occupied last year. We're sharing it with Sara's Risk Team. So we get 3 seat n lightboxes. We get the seats facing the Maya room. Soooooo... Im afraid we might have to take turns floating around.

Yeah, remember when Parr announced there were going to be 16 films going through and everyone gasped?! Well, this is probably the most films going under production theyve ever had so its gonna be interesting...
Is life drawing still going on btw? I would luuuuuv to join up with u guys :)

YESSSS, we got a good working area!

So it looks like they won't be making any more room for us, just crushing us into tiny holes filled with loads of people, great and there's not even enough room for the new first years as they've recruited even more this year so where would they all go? This really is a mess...

...anyway, good to hear about TJ. Can't ait to see his nicktoons film. We definitely should have a viewing of that. :)

Yeah, its a good space but its a lil crammed. We got some new upgraded seats too and they make shuffling pass a bit harder... But I think theres a lot of free space available around where the Highwayman film was last year. The Train of Thought team is there but I think they have 4 or 5 people occupying 8 seats so Im guessing the rest of those seats are for floating into.
But otherwise its a pretty sexy space!

Yeah life drawing is definitely still on! Friday's at 6, in the life drawing studio in the BU. Give Seth some cash and you are set. It should be on until the beginning of term.

You guys are alright for now, a bit crammed yeah, but next year they have to fit more people into the film spaces because of the giant number of first years! We're all gunna get crushed.

Ben Ho said...

Awesome, except I dont know where the heck the BU studio is. How much will it be anyhooooooooo?
How many first years are there going to be anyway? There are rumours that theres not enough seats for them in their own area. Which is great cause we cant fit in our space either :P lolololollololol.
(Can you tell Im a ll bit more hyper today? Its cause Liverpool beat Man United just then!!!!!! W000000000T!)

Tegan Jephcott said...

I am not sure.... We paid £12 at the beginning for the whole thing... Otherwise I think it is £4 maybe... Come and ask Seth, seeing as there isn't very long left it'll probably be cheaper.

I've heard there are 50-60 first years this year.... Yay! And apparently more girls this time =O

Exciting.
