Aardcore. Saturday, May 30, 2009.

Am working at Aardman for a couple of weeks at the moment. Animating on a commercial for Tim Ruffle. It is in the new eco building which is great. All except for in one of the toilets on the second floor they have put the flush handle too close to the seat so that when you flush with the seat up the seat falls down.

Just for two laughs. Friday, May 15, 2009.

Both Keith Reynolds and Francis Cooper will be crossing the Atlantic again in July for the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. I think Bill Cosby will be there too.

I've spent most of this week working on the script for my new film. So far it's going ok. Not quite as exciting as Bill Cosby but still worth mentioning I thought.

People still bring that up, even today.. Wednesday, May 13, 2009.

I was wrong, Francis Cooper is in McLaren Animation 1 (not 2) at Edinburgh International Film Festival. 20th June, 18:20 at Filmhouse 2.

Today I booked my tickets for the Annecy screenings. Including one for Francis in le Bonlieu - Petite salle pour 2009 Courts métrages hors compétition! Lundi. Bon. Qu'est-il environ? Francis Cooper et sa mère, Emily Maddison et le visage de cet homme, Craig MacKay et son chat.

Edinburgh International Film Festival 2009. Wednesday, May 6, 2009.

The surprise demise of Francis Cooper's mother is in the official selection of the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2009 (or EIFF). I think it's in one of the McLaren screenings. Maybe the second one because it sounds like This Way Up is in that screening and my films quite often get shown along with that because people die in them. But that's just a guess.

Tom Jones - Give a Little Love. Tuesday, May 5, 2009.

Came across a music video I worked on for three days back in February: Tom Jones (before he stopped dying his hair) - Give a Little Love. I don't know much about it other than that.

From now on, whenever the subject of Tom Jones comes up, I can say "Funny story actually!: I animated the fire hydrant, the people walking down the red carpet and some stuff on the members of the band in his Give A Little Love video" to which they'll respond, "Really?! That's so fascinating - you're a fascinating person, Felix".

Hopefully at a dinner party.
