We’re forever testing new equipment that can come in handy for our upcoming projects, here is a stop-motion test we did last week, on the HD Hero from GoPro

24 four hours out our window.

Unfortunately, we crashed the camera’s firmware and have to send it back to the factory for reset, oops

We have been a little quiet on the blog front of late, but only because we’ve been so busy we haven’t had time to update it. We have just finished our pilot episode of “Squinky and the Witch” and now onto the hard road of raising the full finance to produce the series. He have also started shooting our new long documentary project and are developing a second animation short series that will go into production later on in the year.

Well, we’re back from a fantastic trip to SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival) the biggest festival in North America. With Support from Culture Ireland we were able to attend the screening of Forty Foot, as part of  the “Straight from NPR” shorts’ selection.

All the staff and programmers at SIFF treated us fantastically, we had a great time getting to know them and our fellow short film makers who screened over the shorts weekend.

The screening went great, we had a fantastic time at SIFF, made new friends and even caught up with some of last years finalists from the Doc Challenge. We wouldn’t have been able to attend SIFF without the generous support of Culture Ireland.

Forty Foot is going to be in 4 different cities accross the world this May. From this week up to the end of the month, it will screen in comptetition at 3 international festivals and represent Ireland at Doc-Europa 2010. Click on the film’s site HERE for all the details.
