I recently had the pleasure of working with the filmmaker James Miller, who created this gorgeous music video for Lily Juniper.

This video makes me feel a bit anxious about mangling - err, editing the footage we shot together for National Deaf Children’s Society. I hope I don’t ‘uglify’ it somehow ;-)

If you can’t play your fundraising video to potential recipients, there is probably something very wrong.

Kony screening provokes anger in Uganda
Ugandans, who suffered at hands of Lord’s Resistance Army, react in anger at Kony video causing internet waves. — Al Jazeera

If you want to see the madness that the Al Jazeera report is a slap in the face to, watch Kony 2012’s musical comedy soul

It’s so corrupt. Now they want to have longer copyright periods because they say the young artists are relying on this money. The young artists never see any money because they sign away that money to big media corporations, like Universal and Viacom. We, the artists, lose all of our rights to these massive corporations, who then come down heavy on these kids for downloading films and music that we never see a penny from. It’s complete bullshit.

Drawing composed of 3.2 million ink dots. Dots created manually with a pen. People really seem to appreciate seemingly impossible creative tasks.

A sci-fi short set in ‘old’ Russia involving robots and unicorns. Excellent. I find it difficult to ignore the reverberations with the great existentialist masterpiece, The Singing Frog.

A movie about creating a campaign for Amnesty International, from challenge to execution.

Making the form input - name and phone - part of the interactive movie is a bit gimmicky because it’s inessential to the story. On the other hand, it’s also a new and creative response to the problem of getting people to give up their contact details.

I’m sure it would increase the number of people providing contact details, if only because the motivation to complete the task is greater when you are forced to complete it in the middle of a story, rather than after the story ends.
