Welcome

Artists Lizzy Hobbs and Emily Tracy worked with J3 in Janurary and February 2011. We were awarded funding from First Light to make an experimental film based on archive footage from the BFI. We made a record of our adventures here. The blog is still live and we will post about the finished film's progress, and opportunities for young animators

The screening

By the end of Wednesday we had completed the transformation.  Thank you to Jeff for managing to get the blog working locally and thank you to May for lending us her popcorn maker.  Sometimes it was a rival attraction!  We were also grateful to Hugh and Joanne for helping to get the film show extended to Friday. The film was projected on a loop from midday on thursday until 8pm, and again for the whole of Friday so that each class could come and see it.  That was a lot of visitors!  I bet Emily has got some good photos to add, but here are a few for now...








WELL DONE J3!

The transformation

One of Emily's specialities is transforming spaces to make them special.  Even though the pottery shed is quite special already, it needed a lot of work on Wednesday to make it into the Gayhurst Cinema.  Here is Marcus trying to drill through the concrete ceiling to put up the screen.



Our germ related merchandise

We made rubber stamps from some of the lovely germ drawings and used them to print t shirt's that the children could wear at the screening.  We also printed some hankerchiefs to sell for £2.  We sold every single one.  All the proceeds will go towards a zoetrope for the school.  We hope to keep the animation bug alive!
