Thanks to the media, however, WE were labelled the destructive ones.<br /><br />This being my first protest, I was all excited. Lots of marching through the streets of London, chanting and sign waving. Like minded and thoroughly outraged people coming together, talking to each other, sharing opinions, peacefully showing our feelings to the country. Ending up at Parliament Square, it wasn't long before a few people decided it was necessary to knock over the metal fences and move across the grass, getting closer to Parliament.<br /><br />Still, things were peaceful; people were just gathering in a larger space. We'd done our marching, we'd reached our destination - all agreed with the police, of course - and now we waited for the vote. And we waited. And waited. Surrounded by rows of police on foot, riot police and mounted horsie police, the atmosphere changed as word of kettling spread.<br /><br />We tried all possible exits from the Square, but all were blocked. And hours later, we were still in very much the same situation. Unsurprisingly, people were not happy about being trapped in a confined space for hours on end, no food, no water, no warmth and no toilets. Call me stupid, but I was under the impression these were basic human rights.Buffalohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247739416795710609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272526197313696646.post-21485328220586699192011-02-10T20:17:00.001-08:002011-03-03T15:51:19.429-08:00Inside the Kettle.<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ryf9_nG_zhE" frameborder="0" height="390" width="480"></iframe><br /><br />A wee look inside the kettle at the 9th December protest, and the views of the peaceful majority.<br /><br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JDEZ2h41t0I" frameborder="0" height="390" width="480"></iframe><br /><br />"I think it was done deliberately.

I like the hand-crafted animation style that provides it with a humble feel and sets up the atmosphere of the film perfectly.<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/20PQBtyfNZY" frameborder="0" height="390" width="480"></iframe><br /><br />I really like hand-crafted style because of the unpretentious, almost modest feel it creates. I know it's not simple to created, but it feels a lot more accessible and more personal. I want to bring that into my animation...<br /><br />This advert for the Audi Q5 from 2008, I think illustrates this point well.<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JpeYDROiZno" frameborder="0"></iframe>Buffalohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247739416795710609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272526197313696646.post-67679511428436493612011-02-10T02:04:00.000-08:002011-03-03T14:55:46.350-08:00Amazon Kindle.<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Mj5Jr0QWNMA" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PERiTMZ626M" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sBgnrouBkjw" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br />The stop motion adverts for the Amazon Kindle are brilliant.<br /><br />Just sayin'.Buffalohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247739416795710609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272526197313696646.post-72973542861007358952011-02-10T02:01:00.001-08:002011-03-03T14:57:55.125-08:00Kinetic.<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kb2iRbtrSb4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />I've been looking at a lot of videos made with kinetic typography, such as the above one.

It depicts alien creatures fleeing their crumbling planet through textured illustrations. Monkmus also created the video for 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark' by Death Cab For Cutie. <br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dniVqDTwOds" frameborder="0" height="390" width="480"></iframe><br /><br />While this isn't stop motion animation, I LOVE the simplicity of telling a story through still drawings within a moving video.

Scotland Yard said the man was detained in Southampton yesterday. He was being taken to London to be questioned by Metropolitan police officers. On Friday, a 23-year-old student at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge was arrested then released on bail on suspicion of violent disorder. A Met spokesman said: "This arrest follows an investigation into public disorder where a fire extinguisher was thrown from the roof of Millbank Tower."<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br />From <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/16/protest-studentpolitics">The Guardian</a>.<br /><br />I think the media managed to miss the point to the "riot" completely. Well done. Another triumph for media misrepresentation.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>Buffalohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247739416795710609noreply@blogger.com0
