Some nice vfx in this little video. I like the message too.

Quote pulled from the youtube description:

“It’s time to move on. Our country, and all of us, need to move from a fossil fuel past to a renewable energy future.
The mood in Britain has turned very much against the Big Six energy companies. And it’s not hard to see why. People are fed up with the unethical pricing, complex tariffs, awful customer service and the dire lack of investment in new sources of green energy.”

Early on a Friday morning the boys were warming up their keypad fingers by shooting foam pellets from barrelled nerf guns. Now with speedy fingers on the go the work is pouring out!

Poor Natalie was a willing target eager to show that she was no wimp to foam pellets and took it in her stride. (Luckily she was far enough away at the other side of the studio and only got hit once.) In retaliation she’s going to choose which one of them has to make th next round of tea!

Heavy snowfall in Nottingham this weekend. I decided to take full advantage…

Stack ‘em high.

We sent a couple of our senior creatives north of the border this week, not to celebrate Rabbie Burns night but to get cracking on an exciting new digital project with leading Welfare to Work provider Working Links Scotland. Not only will the project see us collaborating with academics, research agencies, artists and production crews the campaign is going to be launched in a political arena to raise the issue of youth unemployment.
We’re really proud to be part of to this influential project from both a creative and digital perspective that could hopefully make a real difference to the lives of Scotland’s young people.

Wikipedia has started a 24hr blackout in protest against US anti-piracy laws that it claims could "fatally damage the free and open internet" and "severely limit people’s access to online information". The English version of the site has closed access to the online encyclopaedia to highlight its opposition to the proposed SOPA and PIPA laws that are being voted on in Washington later this month.

I think I’m in love with tilt-shift photography, and when I stumbled across Ben Thomas’ site here I thought they were some of the best examples I’ve seen.

Take a look – they’re simply gorgeous.

The beginning of 2011 I decided to embark on a ‘little’ project. I wanted to see if I could take one photo every single day for an entire year. I was going to try and develop my own online system to help me achieve this, but after a bit of research I discovered Shuttercal. This site allows you to upload your daily photos to an online calendar. There is also a nice community of people who are also doing the project. The best part of this service is the ability to order prints of each completed month. It’s really nice to have a physical record of the year.

I’ll be writing a more in-depth post about the experience once Decembers photos arrive.
