November 2024 'No Idea'


We had some disgruntled microbes, emotional poems, meditative sci-fi, a well used stop motion horse, and some big laughs.


Louis was dressed as a deer. Pull the cord and the eyes pinged out to make a 'No Eye-deer'.


Our special guests were Tom and Henry Purrington from Golden Wolf who showed us how they wiggled their way into the industry, a timeline of their projects and their tips to being seen.


Thanks to Poonam Maher, Max Priddy, Thomas Pitts and Jessica Fisher, Freddie Fawke and Kai Doling for their help with running the event smoothly. Thanks to Second Home Studios and Ministry Of Motion for the continued sponsorship.

August 2024 'For Crying Out Loud'

We had some noisy horn trophies for our regular Show&Tellers, an Annecy-selected short, an Annecy-rejected short, two Aardman Academy graduates, and three Floaters.


Louis tried to make a horn be loud, but also made it cry. The ordeal left him with a really long arm, for crying out loud.


Our special guest was composer, sound designer and voice artist, Phil Brookes. Phil took us on a rollercoaster journey of his career with be-masked metal solos, mindful piano scores, and a whiplash inspirational talk. Phil’s clients include Anna Mantzaris, Greenpeace, Facebook, Ted, Tate, Hulu, Adult Swim.


Thanks to Poonam Maher for literally lending a hand. Thanks to Max Priddy, Thomas Pitts and Jessica Fisher for their help again (and to Alex Jolliffe for cycling home to get a power cable)


And thanks to Second Home Studios and Ministry Of Motion for the sponsorship.

May 2024 'Close One'




We had Michael Jackson introducing shorts, we explored Erdington at 2am, and our faces got blasted with Hollywood 2DFX. We had a double bill of animators arguing with their sassy animated pals, Tom CJ Brown teased us, and we found out the dangers of putting Tat Vision in a MoCap suit.


Louis also had a CLOSE ONE after getting mangled in a car accident. Luckily the kindly Papier Mache 'Penny' held him close and carried him through his presenting duties


Our special guest was Tim Searle. For over 30 years Tim has developed, directed and produced award-winning animation including: Danger Mouse, Mr Bean, Dennis & Gnasher, Have I Got News for You, I am Not An Animal, 2DTV, Horrible Histories and more.


Thanks to everyone who came and take part. We have such a unique, energetic, loving community building here. It was also nice to see a glut submissions based on the prompt. There's absolutely no need to use it, but I'm glad people found it useful.


Thanks to Max Priddy, Thomas Pitts and Jessica Fisher for their help. Thanks to Poonam Maher for being the voice of Penny.


And thanks to Second Home Studios and Ministry Of Motion for the sponsorship.
