Animators, VFX & Digital Creatives in Wales... Unite!

Getting involved in industry Groups and activities outside day-to-day work is something I try and make time for wherever possible. Very stimulating.

I sit on the Industry Panel for Skillset's Media Academy here in Wales and we're looking to expand the related Industry sub-Panel on Animation/Games and Visual Effects to bring in more creatives and practitioners working in Digital content - in all it's forms.

This, along with the newly-formed Wales Animation Movement (WAM!), hopes to bring together more people working in Animation and Digital in Wales with a view to more energetic meetups/events, collaboration and projects.

So if your working in the Industry (company or freelance) and you'd be interested in hooking up with like-minded Creatives and Animators in Wales, leave your details here or email the WAM Facebook group at walesanimation@groups.facebook.com

Website tidy-up

It's the same old story: not finding the time (often enough) to keep your own web presence up to date!

So, starting today and over next week or so, the Crimzn site is getting an update and Blog posts aiming to be more frequent.

Look out for info on a few new exciting project wins in the New Year. Onward!

3 x video case studies around Wales - 1 week production!

Crimzn was delighted to help out the e-Crime Wales team with a requirement to shoot and edit 3 x 5 minute video Case Studies one week before they were due to be shown live at the 2010 e-Crime Wales Summit.

All were shot in High Definition and are now up on the e-Crime Wales Blog. I've also included them below.

Getting Semantic...

Here's a great video attempting to explain the complexity of the next Semantic Web (Web 3.0) - nice selection of interesting interviews.
