    On today’s programme I was delighted to be joined by Co-Director, Séan McCormack and Producer, Moe Honan, from ‘Two by Two: Overboard!’ The little indie Irish animated film which recently went to number one in the UK Box Office.

  • Behaviourism 101 – now with subtitles

    Behaviourism 101 – now with subtitles

    behaviourism-101-nessymonA couple of years ago, I posted this video on Behaviourism. It was an e-learning assignment for my Multimedia degree.

    Since then it has had 180000 on YouTube, which is great, nothing at all to be sneezed at.

    Why does the Behaviourism video have new subtitles?

    I got an email from Deanna Keller, who is a Disability Services Assistant at Western Piedmont Community College in North Carolina.

    Deanna’s job is to subtitle content that their students use. One of the instructors there is using our little video as part of their course. Deanna kindly generated subtitles, as the generic captions weren’t quite right. This means that all students, including hard of hearing students can now access the video.

    Thanks Deanna, I’m delighted that the video is helping.

    And before you all ask, yes, comic sans was intentional.

  • Batman: Dark Knightfall – Stop Motion Short Film

    Batman: Dark Knightfall – Stop Motion Short Film

    I first have to tell you that I didn’t find this on the interwebs, FStoppers did. I had to share it with you though. This is six minute stop motion animation made with action figures. It was made by Derek Kwok and Henri Wong ofParabucks Co. and here’s the shocker, they say it’s their first attempt at stop motion.

    Get a cuppa and watch this, it’s very special. It looks and sounds awesome.

  • Top Cat: Movie Review

    Top Cat: Movie Review

    Top Cat The MovieRemember when you were a kid, schemer, Top Cat and this bunch of buddies lived in a backstreet alley where all they wanted to do was get the better of Officer Dibble? Well, they still do. The cartoon from the 70’s has been given the full length movie treatment. What’s interesting about this is that this English version dubbed from the Mexican/Argentinean original. Officer Dibble is still trying to get to be Inspector but is overlooked for another badass who Top Cat tries to out manoeuver.

    The animation is this quite interesting, the traditional 2D cartoon characters we know and love remain 2D but are in in a 3D environment, which works well and looks great, I just don’t know why the Cats now have mobile phones? My cat doesn’t have one. The animation keeps you interested for a few minutes but after that, well, this is one the kids will want to see on DVD during the Summer holidays.
