This photo is from last year’s Greystones Arts Festival. This year’s festival starts with a parade tonight and will run all the way through the weekend. It was really excellent last year and you can check out the programme on the website here.
Ooh, it looks like photographer Philip Pankov will be giving a talk tomorrow afternoon at three in the Cherry Lane Art Gallery…
From Ian Benny Kenny, the same guy who did the fantastic animation for the Garda Prank Call recording, comes this latest short. Ian, you’re a master of Irish facial expressions, I love it!
“…stuck it in the back of the net!”
My apologies for not posting for so long! Every now and then I find I need to take a break from blogging so I can recharge and come back to it.
Here’s a few photos from the weekend to break myself back in. While Matt was busy studying to take his CCNA, Eve and I spent the afternoon at Glenroe Farm which is a great little petting zoo and playground in Kilcoole just down the road from us. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. If you have little ones this is a perfect place for a day out. It costs €6 for adults and €5 for kids and we brought along a picnic so it didn’t cost anymore money than the entrance fee.
After she’d finished squeezing the life out of the poor animals, there was the excellent playground to explore:
Eve is a bit of a daredevil so she had to find the tallest, fastest slide to go down. It took her a few times to figure it out but she was determined:
Taken in the garden this afternoon…finally some sunshine!

Found on Motionographer via Drawn! this is the title sequence to the Platform Animation Festival in Oregon this weekend. Created by directing duo Smith and Foulkes using a Canon DSLR:
Smith & Foulkes used a Canon Digital SLR camera linked up to a laptop allowing them to capture frames and play them back checking the shots as they went along. By shooting digitally Smith & Foulkes ended up with a much larger image size to work with when compared with the normal 35mm motion picture frame. These frames were then taken into After Effects and Photoshop for a clean-up where people and rigs from shots were removed. A final grade was then added in Flame.
Other little gems from this duo are the excellent Robinson’s ads that are running at the moment (Raise them on Robinsons):
and the classic “Hate Song” ad for Honda:
