We are so excited about the new term – we have some brilliant classes. Today I started filming for the new miniature / stop motion course. I have to say I am insanely happy at the end of the day… the sets look amazing, the team here are brilliant and I’d be stunned if people did not enjoy this.

I think this course will be great for people wanting to learn more about this aspect of film making either because they want to move into doing post for this style or work, or they want to use miniatures or stop motion in one of their own projects. But I doubt anyone with a passion for the craft – that does what we do for a living would not love this subject area. It is the birth of visual effects and the last bastion of what I like to call ‘inventive film making’.

Without a doubt we had an absolute ball today – it was just heaps of fun. Tomorrow we have an early start and we are pouring latex – I mean does life get any better ?

Man after kung fu in China and some of the other classes we have coming up… this will be our best term ever.
