Work in July

A long blog today as it has been a while since the last!

Lots of editing has been done this month, so a few new videos to have a look at on the website: the Kendal Bike Trials Team performing at Cyclefest, mountain-biking in Mabie Forest, and rock-climbing at Hodge Close.

The KJam snowboarding video has been playing on the screen in the Fatface store in Kendal (http://www.fatface.com/) and it has really caught everyone’s attention. The Bike Trials (http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=2537075039) video will be played in there this week, so if you’re in the area pop into the shop to have a look.

A slightly different subject – Kat has been filming at Keswick Pencil Museum (http://www.pencilmuseum.co.uk/). Local artist Evsie (http://www.grenville-evans.co.uk/) has been painting a 25 foot mural for the museum. Using our footage, and a lot of his own we will be editing a video of him creating his masterpiece.

Kat has been doing some work for Signal Films (http://www.signalfilms.co.uk/) this month: camera assistant for ‘Safe At Home’, a safety video for The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (http://www.rospa.com/). An interesting and educational weeks work.

Lots more on the go, so the next update will be coming soon.

Wordle

We've discovered a great new application which is fun to use but also practical.

http://www.wordle.net/. Type in whatever you want, in our case all our blog history, and it creates a word cloud. A very pretty effect, as well as helping you identify prominent words.
