Guitar Meister

admin — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 09:12:52 +0000

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.

Simon Schofield left the Faculty this week. We were really sorry to see him go, as he did cool things and had a great sense of humour too. The clip is from an exhibition he had at the Slade, showing some of the digital art he makes.

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

Mr Nam June Paik

We went on a trip to the Korean Cultural Centre in Piccadilly, to see the Nam June Paik exhibition. The students were from a 3rd year module, working with Digital Moving Images, so the work on show was very relevant.

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.)

Image Making in 2008

admin — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 19:06:19 +0000

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.

So, the music is by Audio Lounge Sound, AKA C Hunter, chill electro meister extraordinaire. He has a great site at audioloungesound.com, where you can listen to a few more of his tracks. He studies at LondonMet, doing a music and multimedia joint BSc.

New Site for Class Video

admin — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:15:48 +0000

At the moment this site is down, as the server became homeless. I am now moving the site into a new home, so it should be back online soon. All the old posts will also be available, once I’ve either imported from the old MySql, or rebuilt from scratch.

I’m looking forward to configuring the video using v-pip, or similar, so it’ll be easier than ever to view the vids.

Anyway, bear with me, in the next few weeks we should have a beautiful new site and some new videos too….

thanks for your patience and continued interest….

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…

A quick taste of what we did for the last project in the Image Making Module (MM1008C). The idea was to demonstrate ability with layers and selection tools, as well as good matting and shadow effects. It was a fun …
