EVENT DIARY

What’s happened. What’s happening. What may be happening in the future.

20 years of BDH

Aside | | Paul Greer
Celebrating their 20th year in 2015, BDH has long been at the cutting edge of British television – directing commercials, creating brand identities, music visuals and motion graphics.

Join the Royal Television Society for a rare opportunity to ask local heroes BDH, one of the most awarded digital creative teams in the UK, to reveal their secrets in this special panel discussion.

Yes, there are a few more tickets left for a twentieth anniversary “In Conversation” evening with my employers, Steve, John and Rob (The B, the D and the H, in that order) to be held tomorrow evening at 6pm at the Watershed. Lynn Barlow, Chair of the Royal Television Society in Bristol will be interviewing them and taking us through the highlights of their work over the years. Bookings can be made through the Watershed website.

BBC Preview – War of Words: Soldier-Poets of the Somme – Bristol Festival of Ideas

Aside | | Paul Greer

The “big animation project” we were working on earlier in the year is being previewed at the Watershed on the 5th November.
The programme explores the stories of the writer soldiers who were present at the Battle of the Somme and at BDH we produced 10 animations illustrating, with respect, the poetry the soldiers produced, which are embedded in the documentary.
The event is free, but you do have to register here.
Maybe see you there.

I Hate Running.

| Paul Greer

I think Eddie Izzard said it was the natural human state or something like that.

HE IS WRONG.

Having said that I have foolishly signed myself up for the Bristol Half Marathon on September 11th 2011.

This means I am currently engaged on a punishing training schedule, which is most inconvenient and interrupts important pursuits like procrastination and nothing.

You can ease my discomfort by being my sponsor, and you can do this through my JustGiving page.

I thought long and hard about who I should support, I settled on the Disasters Emergency Committee, hopefully that’s something we all can relate to.

JustGiving do take a small amount for admin, but its best that way because the money goes straight through to the charity and then you know I’m not spending it on booze and cake (because that would happen).

I’ll try to keep posting update of my training on that Twitter, but be prepared for mostly grumpy, reluctance and pathetic wingeing from someone who has never really known any level of the suffering that people in East Africa are going through right now.

I know times are hard, but any donation would be gratefully received.

Thank you for your time.

Always yours.

Too Art for TV’s Experimental Film Exhibit Retrospective.

Aside | | Paul Greer

thebsp:

The Big Screen Project is pleased to present:Too Art for TV’s Experimental Film Exhibit Retrospective.

Opening reception TODAY April 14th 2011, 7pm.  Indoor viewing at Food Parc and Public Plaza – 851 6th AveOutdoor viewing at 6th Ave Bet. 29th and 30th Streets

Big Screen Project (Chelsea, NY), in collaboration with Too Art for TV, is proud to host Too Art for TV: Experimental Film Exhibit Retrospective. 11 artists – some of whom have exhibited with Too Art for TV in the past, and some who are presently part of the exhibit Too Art for TV 5 (Williamsburg, Brooklyn), will screen together for one hour on Big Screen Project’s large open air screen in Chelsea, NY.

Too Art for TV is an annual fine art show for the animation industry. Experimental film has been part of Too Art’s vision since the exhibit started in 2006, but due to the crowded openings, Too Art’s film content can often times be difficult to experience. With Big Screen’s presentation of Too Art for TV’s Experimental Film Exhibit Retrospective, Too Art’s artists can enjoy a larger-than-life vehicle for their film and animation musings.
