Ronnie on the London Underground

Ronnie, the ultra mega-famous director of the The TATE Movie Project, has been snapped by the papz on the London Underground! I didn't believe it either but here's the evidence! (Thank you Douglas Ray for the evidence!)

Tate Movie Project wins at the BIMAs

Last week the Tate Movie Project website (which I'm doing the animation/character design and occasionally some writing for) won an award at the British Interactive Media Awards for the website and microsite category. The trophy was very heavy (about the weight of a bag of sugar) and red - it's nice. Here's a photo (taken by Gavin Strange, the wonderful senior designer on that same project). I think this was Aardman Digital's first award so it's a special one!

Ronnie, the TATE Movie director, on CBBC!

Here's a little clip from CBBC today of some animation I did of Ronnie promoting the TATE Movie project! This is a project I'm working on with lots of pretty clever people at Aardman with the TATE gallery to help any child in the U.K. be part of a film that will be shown in cinemas across the country. Have a look at www.TATEmovie.co.uk/

I didn't get a Blue Peter badge

There's going to be a thing about the TATE movie on Blue Peter on Tuesday 14th! Andy Akinwolere came into Aardman the other day to do some filming and talk to Sarah (who's directing it all) and I spent a few days animating Ronnie, the director, saying some stuff to the presenters; to find out what he says make sure you tune in at 4.30 to watch it! I will watch it... even though they wouldn't give me a Blue Peter badge.
