  • Cut-Out
    Not quite sure what the deal is with this one. They’ve got a DIY print studio and are looking for people to submit designs for them to use on T-shirts and so on. A physical shop is apparently coming in summer 09, in the meantime they’re up online with a website (coming soon) and this blog

  • Draft Vision for a Birmingham Photospace
    The next meeting about this is on Tues 14 October at 6.30pm in the Library cafe, Birmingham city centre. Seek out the Birmingham Flickr group for how the discussion about this is going; this is a link to the draft vision they’ve prepared
  • Flip Blog – Grads On Walls Event
    The Flip Animation folk put out a reminder for the Animation Forum WM’s Grads on Walls event on Monday (good to see people talking up other people’s events – a very smart thing to do, I’d say)
  • Birminghams Most Stylish – Style Birmingham
    “The 500 people who have made it through this year’s Style Search will be whittled down to just ten this weekend at a special party at Gatecrasher”. Why am I linking to this? Um… just spreading the joy I guess
  • Script screenwriting course
    “Script, in association with Outside Centre, presents an in-depth Introduction to Screenwriting Course” at Wolverhampton’s Light House
  • Plus+: Fazeley Studios 2008 Plus Venue
    Is it me or does the text in the link make no sense. Basically, Fazeley Studios has been chosen as the venue for the 2008 Plus Design Festival. Shame on me for not spotting that they had a blog though, and thanks to Nicky at Digbeth is Good for pointing it out
  • Facebook group – mid*point
    “mid*point is the network for independent theatre companies in the West Midlands” There doesn’t seem to have been any activity on the website for over a year but they’ve just started a Facebook group so something must be going on under the hood
    • ]]>         Grads On Walls http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/2008/09/17/grads-on-walls/ Wed, 17 Sep 2008 12:15:22 +0000 http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/?p=2068 [Read more...]]]> The next Animation Forum West Midlands event, Grads On Walls, will be at Concrete on 13 October and will showcase the work of the region’s recent graduates.

    I really do recommend these.  Shorts On Walls and Ads On Walls were great, even for someone like me who never got past using the corners of school exercise books as flipbooks.  These screenings are just like a trip to the cinema.  Only free.  And they serve drinks.  The work screened is consistently excellent too.

    Of course if you are an animator then it’s a good chance to meet like-minded souls.

    If you’d like to go down then RSVP (check the site) to let them know you’re going.

    If you’d like to submit work then read this:

    Submissions for Grad’s on Walls can include short films, music videos, experimental and commercial pieces. The only requirement for submissions is that animator should either be currently based within the West Midlands, or have graduated from a University within the region. Good quality student work will also be considered for screenings.

    then go to the AFWM site for details of where to send a DVD of your work.
