Moved

Hello. A boring post to say I've moved my blog to wordpress. It's still at www.felixmassie.co.uk/ and nothing has changed but it you were following me via Google Friend Connect then you wont get updates anymore. The RSS feed URL is exactly the same still though and you can subscribe to that here:

As Andrew says; you need to get out of bed

For 2010 I decided to expand on my rigorous weekend routine of getting out of bed with the addition of drawing portraits of people I know. Here is Matthew Walker:

8 Minutes Idle iFeature things.

Sarah Cox, the Cox of Arthur Cox, asked me to do some designs for some animated segments in a feature film she is hopefully producing as part of the iFeatures scheme. It's based on Matt Thornes novel 8 Minutes Idle - "a provactive and daring comedy about work, sex and love in a Bristol call centre". A man feels he has been shy around a woman too long and so decides to make a reproduction of his penis in photocopy form and then show her his generocity by giving her a copy to cherish forever. (If) you'd like to read more, you can do here. Or you can follow the films progress on Twitter.

Here are the pictures...

On Aardman now

It took me a while but I finally managed to guess the admin password for the Aardman website (m0rph123) and add myself to the commercial directors section. Did my own page and everything:

http://www.aardman.com/commercials/directors/felix-massie/

Look quickly before they take it down.

In another bit of website news: I finished my website for my web series only press some sort of giant reset button to make it all look like the default template again. So I have an exciting evening doing all that again coming up soon.

Mother of Many wins at BAFTA 2010

Mother of Many won it's BAFTA so a big well done to Emma Lazenby. Watch a little clip below, and also watch this bit on iPlayer and listen to hear the wonderful Candi from Arthur Cox screaming her head off when it was announced it had won.

Format Court interview in Lille

If you want to practice your French you can read an interview with me from when I went to Lille last October on the Format Court e-magazine website. Apparently Jeune diplômé de la Film School of Wales, Felix Massie est un animateur réservé, à l’origine de deux films pittoresques et morbides, « Keith Reynolds Can’t Make It Tonight » et « The Surprise Demise of Francis Cooper’s Mother ». Invitée au dernier Festival de Lille, cette nouvelle recrue de la boite de production The World of Arthur Cox se balade allègrement, de séance en séance, vêtu d’un t-shirt représentant un gros monstre vert fluo. Rapprochement de mise.

Never gonna be a star. ok.

January's gone and there's still no new webseries up. Whoops. One episode is 100% done, one episode just needs some extra sound effects, and one episode needs editing and sound effects. Don't know when I'm going to finish them but when I do, and I finish the little website for them, up they will go.

Instead of doing that I've been watching Glee and doing some design work at Arthur Cox and Aardman for an exciting project - I never know if I'm supposed to blog about things like that (both Glee and the design stuff) so I'll keep schtum for a bit. To keep up my drawing for fun resolution I also did this hideous picture for Joe Paine of ok as a sort of fan-art for their song Star:


And that's all I think.
