Summer Programme

Booking on our next season of digital media courses for July to September 2009 opens 28th May.

We've got a mixed bag of workshop offerings over the Summer months, including a few new topics, such as Artist Books, Blogging with Wordpress, DVD Authoring and home recording studio advice in Audio Essentials.

As fitting for the long holidays, we have booked in loads of kids workshops to keep them amused in the Summer rain! Weekly workshops in our popular Clay Animation, plus Pop Video-making and a fun computer music session with Garageband.

Full details of these and more in the Summer Term can be found on the Courses page.

Extended Services DVD

We filmed and produced an information DVD for Bracknell Forest Council's Extended Services Scheme over the Autumn.The DVD features interviews and illustrations of a wealth of additional activities in schools, both for pupils and adults outside of education.

The disc was distributed free to every home in the Birch Hill, Hanworth and Great Hollands areas of Bracknell.

You can see a clip on our Gallery page, or via the BFC YouTube Channel

New Video Production

We've been beavering away on a combined live video and animation feature for Bracknell Teenage Pregnancy Unit over the last few months. Animator, T. Kim Noce has been collaboarating with Martin Franklin providing video, editing and sound, to create the information feature.

Production is coming to an end now, and we hope to have a preview screening of the film at South Hill Park sometime in June.

Ultimately, it will be used as an information tool in local schools. So, the 7 minute film combines the voices of young parents with animated characters, original music and fast-moving video to get it's message across.
