Busy Busy

BIG NEWS!!! the Rockpool film is to be shown at Se ma for festival in Poland. It is their first festival as a celebration to/of stopmotion celebrating 100 years. I recieved contact from Tim Allen who is over in Poland working on a film offering a place to stay while the festival is on. Unfortunatly I am unable to attend the festival due to other commitments which is pretty bad news. Maybe this will change but its unlikely.

The last couple of days have been very busy. On tuesday there was an online conference with advice on how to improve websites. This is was only of a small amount of use, though some modifications have been made to the website since then.

The rest of wednesday was spent trying to increase the web presence of Blades Animation. A new and potenially useful discovery was made yesterday BT Trade Space. This is basically myspace with a business spin here's mine http://bladesanimation.bttradespace.com/ please check it out and set your own one up then we can favourite one another. It seems like a good idea but the site is a bit slow I think maybe there was a problem with the server. The result of this was when I tried to post on the lounge community it first said that nothing had happened so I tried again and it still didnt work then it turned out it had posted my message 6 time's so I look a little incompetent. This happened this moring when I was trying to favourite some cool businesses.

Today the online messing has continued though Blades Animation was joined by a film maker/director Malcolm Kennedy. Who spent the day updating his own online presence.

Adjustments to our main website have been made a new contact form has been added and a couple of minor alterations. In the coming weeks the site will be getting a big update with lots of new info on the services we offer.

We have signed up to attend some interesting work shops covering finance, emarketing and some business networking events around the uk so though may be exciting or they may be awful something to look forward to.

Cool things we have recently come across are the Works chain of discount book stores has the revised edition of Aardmans book of 3d animation for about £3 and the Coraline visual companion for about £3. We also came across this cool website worth checking out http://www.indiemoviesonline.com/ it has great film reviews and lots of free films to watch.

Thats about all for now.
