Here’s a short video I’ve made about Graham Noden, the guitar master craftsman who is based in Denmark St, in the west end of London, UK. An incredibly talented and skilled man, he is working on my 1975 Gretsch Broadcaster, in for an overhaul and fret ’stoning’, to brighten up an already lovely instrument.

I have known Graham and his cohorts for many years, and enjoy going down to the basement of Musicground, (formerly Andy’s Guitars) where they all work on a myriad of guitars and other stringed instruments.

If you’re ever in the area, be sure to make a visit to this wonderful place.

He went to work at Nottingham Trent. I don’t think he knows what he’s let himself in for…

The video is an experiment in a one take edit walking round the show, as if you are there yourself. (There is a small amount of distortion at the start of the clip, we think caused by the number of screens on display while we were videoing…weird.)

I made a video of a few examples of the work we did in 2008 on the Image Making module. It was a good year, and some of the students are very talented. I wish I’d had time to make more video clips as we went along, but time did not allow for that.

The CCTM Department has been busy this summer…Tower Hill room 316 has been totally redeveloped, and now boasts some of the best technical spec’s in the whole universe (allegedly). As we now ‘do’ a Masters in Computer Animation, there was budget to redevelop the kit. There is a photoblog of the whole process if you want to look in more detail…
