Laurie Hill animates on Animate! scheme film for Channel 4

Posted by lauriehill at 14:02, March 8th, 2007

I’m doing a few updates so this is sightly old news but I’m trying to catch up!

I animated on a film for twice-BAFTA nominated director Osbert Parker late last year – the film is called Yours Truly – it was an Animate! commission for Channel 4 and Arts Council England.

The film was on Channel 4 before Christmas and will no doubt be seen on the festival circuit.

John and John doing the rounds

Posted by Will at 11:53, January 27th, 2007

Hello Folks,
I’ve been abroad, which was good fun. Premier Plans in Angers organised my travel and accomodation so I could afford to go. I don’t know if I’ve won a prize yet but it was very good anyway. I met lots of nice international filmmakers. I have posted a picture on www.wrongboy.com
The Adventures of John and John has won a prize at E-Magicians too, and it’s at Rotterdam this week.

My Life At 40 has been selected for Intermix 06 by Pavilion.

Blurb says:

This year Pavilion’s vision for the programme is the concept of the “Moment”’.

Intermix 06

8-12 November – BBC Big Screen Millennium Square, Leeds: 10am-11am and 2pm-3pm

Unfortunately I’ve been censored for the BBC Big Screen – BBC watchdogs branded the animal and cutout sex scenes too saucy and spicy to show in a public place – the local residents might get a taste for it! – so instead there’s a black screen saying ‘This scene has been censored at the request of the BBC.’ Hahahahahaha – what about those nature documentaries I want to know!?

My Life At 40 in DOKFEST Leipzig

DOKFEST Leipzig
49th Leipzig Festival of Documentary and Animated Film Germany
30 October – 5 November 2006

AnimaDoc
‘Films that are not easily categorised are presented in Leipzig for this very reason: True stories combined with animation techniques – reality is not only where we expect it to be, and it can have many different faces. For the eleventh time, Leipzig presents “documentary animated” films. New, short-films with decidedly documentary contents will be screened in two different programme blocks. Presented productions require the audience to give up on prevailing aesthetic perceptions of documentary and animated film. If able to do so, viewers will perceive an imaginative and illusionary reality – the reality of drawings, puppets, or 3D-computer animated figures and other animation film characters. They are protagonists of the imaginary worlds of authors and their respective realities. AnimaDoc is a journey to the imaginative border between documentary genre and fiction. An exciting trip to new aesthetic terrain.’
