Falling for Fitzgerald - A Crowd Funding Experiment

INT. PARTY, KITCHEN - NIGHT

FITZGERALD

(shouts)

My name’s Fitzgerald. I like dogs, I hate my family and I like

complaining about perfectly friendly people with other people -

for example, that bitch...

The camera pans over to a pretty, happy woman talking animatedly to someone and then pans back.

FITZGERALD

...she’s done nothing but be nice to me all night.

Muvizu: The bar has been raised

Muvizu recently ran a competition in conjunction with the Raindance Film Festival. Entrants were asked to create a short movie animated and created in Muvizu. Things were ticking along nicely, then we received this movie from Matthew Perks. This blew us away; I wanted to share it with you. Matthew made this from scratch over a few nights and, aside from the vocal talent, completed it on his own. I wonder how long it would take a single animator to create this from… Continue

Quality of Line

A long time ago when I was a young architecture student I remember being perplexed by criticisms around something called ‘quality of line’. At the time I didn’t really get it. I do now.

Every line we draw has meaning and commitment embedded in it. Especially if that line is drawn by hand and reflects a creative moment in time. But whatever the medium, every line counts. Sometimes a design drawing can fail spectacularly to convey… Continue

Dangerous Dreams

Amy Hardie's very personal film is about her deadly dreams. One night, she dreamt her horse, George, was dying. The next day, she found him dead in the field. Later, she dreamt again - this time, her late ex-husband appeared to tell her she had one year to live.

Time after Time

I came across this title to an article - ‘Moments not Monuments’ (by Craig Martin). Now, I don’t know the article but it’s a great title, and one which has real resonance in the debate about school buildings. The real debate is not iconic versus standardised. The real debate is about schools as monuments versus schools as moments.

Gant charts give us decision points and activity deadlines: turf is cut and steelwork is topped… Continue

Tapulla Released on Android Market

I've just released a new touch screen game on Android market and thought I'd do a quick spammy post here.

I dont really want to show up with a pic of the game on the front page. There are worthwhile posts there and this is a sort of advert to publicise the release of a commercial game. If I put in a pic it will shove everything down on the front page but I would have liked to put an image of the game running on here....

Making Space

The winners of the Making Space 2010 award were unable to accept the award in person because they are doing good works in Haiti. Instead, these Norwegian student architects sent us a heartfelt video – including a song from the local kids they’re working with.

If I wasn’t already moved by their winning design for a library and orphanage in Thailand, then their personal message did the trick. They reminded me that architecture and… Continue
