December 2020 'SECRET'

After a setback in Covid cases we were back online for our Christmas Do.

Thanks to everybody who took part. As much as I've hated running the online events, I'm really glad to have met so many new animation faces in the last 8 months.

We've got plans to be back big in May. Including all the usual technical mishaps. Fingers crossed to meet you all in real life then.

September 2020 'WET'

Using Zoom we were back in the Virtual Bar with a load of new faces and BFI Network's Alexzandra Jackson talking about funding.

Swatpaz made a return, we had some gatecrashing flat-earthers, and Ross Butter introduced IN PERSON. Actual human interaction!

I was dreading another Zoom event but it was fun and the community felt alive. It’s really encouraging to meet so many new and returning animation faces. Thanks for taking part and see you next time.

May 2020 'WILD'

Our first lockdown special featured Swatpaz and Jess Ashman and took place as part of Flatpack Festival.

May’s Overlap was an experiment in creating as live and interactive a replacement as possible. As part of that David Stanley aka Guri Bosh was on hand again capturing the atmosphere of a live night from isolation. What makes a night like this worth it for me is the honest feedback you get from a live audience, and the random encounters you make around the venue. Loads of work went into integrating Zoom into the broadcast. Its breakout rooms helped create a way to randomly mingle. I can't wait for us to be back together. The real thing is way more satisfying, but it felt like we had a moment. The quality and amount of work submitted for the night was inspiring. Huge thanks to our guests Jessica Ashman and Swatpaz.
