# 304 // Attack of the Blocks

October 31, 2011 in Blog, Thing a Day

To celebrate Halloween, we decided to make use of our supply of Lego and make a short film. Originally it was to be a narrative but we found it quite difficult to find a story that worked and made use of our wide range of Lego Minifigs. During our research we thought it would be a great idea to spoof a 1930s Horror Film trailer which would enable us to not have to worry about a narrative and concentrate on making fun scenes and loosely tie them together… Read more on our behind the scenes blog, and see the video [...]

# 303 // Molten Glass

October 30, 2011 in Thing a Day

Here’s one of the many effects you can achieve by sticking some glass in a kiln. There’s a little more to it than that, but you get the idea. The glass in the picture obviously isn’t ‘molten’ any more, having cooled enough to handle and polish up a bit. Very pretty though.

Matt has been working extremely hard on our little Halloween video during down time in the studio, with me as his useless assistant. He’s been adding the finishing touches today ready for the screening on Monday. I hope you’re all excited!?

I saw my first robin of the year in the park this morning. Unfortunately he was an antagonising little beggar, and flitted about the second I lifted my camera. I honestly believe he was watching me and though… ‘I’ll ‘ave her’. This is the best I could get from a distance with stealthy shooting.

Some more Halloween prep going on today, with our first attempt at using ‘crackle’ nail varnish. I’m actually quite impressed with how well it works, and it won’t be obvious when I inevitably chop some off later. Bonus!

# 298 // promo time

October 25, 2011 in Thing a Day

Today a proof arrived for our new promotional leaflets/mini-brochure, which will be making a debut at the LBA Business Fayre next week. I am very happy with it, and can’t wait to see the rest of the stuff we’ll have on our stall. Watch this space!

# 297 // Makeup Practice

October 24, 2011 in Thing a Day

I’ve been practicing makeup for Halloween. Sadly, it’s my mother’s social calendar that’s full up, not mine. This weekend I shall be makeup-artist to her, and then sitting in front of the TV with a glass of wine. Actually… that’s not so bad, is it? Anyway, she wants to be a cat for Halloween, so I will be using a lot of eye liner on her. I’ll share the results on Friday.

Working hard on some last minute promo prints for the LBA Business Fayre on the 2nd November. Only a couple of day for the print deadline, and I have a lot of work to do!
