We had a full house at CreativeCoffee for the Lunchbox Films session. For once I managed to take some photos so this post is more of a picture story (apologies for the quality of some of the images!) Whilst they guys set up their equipment we managed to do some networking and eat the lovely cupcakes from Eniola's Treats.
Theo and Leo introduced themselves by showing a couple of their films, made with school groups as young as 8 years old. My favourite was Dr Markus and Tomb of Doom (see it here!)
They were very open about what they do and answered many questions about 'process and product'. Members were so interested in their work, it was great to see the questions, comments and suggestions flowing.
The high point for many was when the group was asked to make a short animated advert for CreativeCoffee Club. We set about creating the members in drawings or pipe-cleaner figures (this is Dean the Art Wizard's model of Rebecca from RRVA)
Theo and Leo then guided us through the process of animating our drawings and models.
They are in the process of putting our work together and the final version will be available soon! You will have to wait for the final version to experience Teresa and Ian's rap (yes, you heard it right)
Check out Lunchbox Films' new venture workforce films here, and maybe your company could have a great team session and create your own advert!
We have a great session lined up for #CCLeic * this week. Animation studio and film-makers Lunchbox Films will be hosting a session telling us about how they have developed a successful animation business and introducing us to some of the ideas behind their new venture 'Workforce Films'
We only have a few places left for this session so please register here! http://bit.ly/9MtmOq -it only takes a couple of minutes.
*What's #CCleic you ask? It's the CreativeCoffee Twitter hashtag of course! We're on Twitter, find us here www.twitter.com/ccleic
The networking starts at 10am, and the session will begin at approx 10.45am in the ETC suite at Phoenix Square. Register now by clicking through to our Eventbrite booking page!
