Y2k+10 virus: the past is awesome, the future will be awesomer!
I’m clicking my fingers as I listen to that awesome prog-trio-OTT-synth awesomeness from Ebu Gogo. The sound of my middle finger, slapping that fatty part on my hand is the only way I can describe how quickly 2009 went. The manic, silliness of Ebu Gogo’s music is the only way I can describe how insane the year was for me. Really. 2009 was a quick sprint with a silly, arm waving run for cribble. Just like any human being, I love a good ol’ list, so here’s a list of some stuff that happened over the year…
- Finally being old enough to buy a drink anywhere (I’d like to go) on this planet!
- Graduating from university. Hurray, no more education! YIPEE.
- Being featured in ComputerArts graduate issue.
- Exhibiting various works at new freelance workstation area, TheCube, during London Design Festival.
- Going on (a disasterous) tour with Son of Robot and making a fun pixilated-stop-motion video for “She’s The Man”.
- Finishing what I felt was my best work to date “She Farted And Created The World”.
- That incredible moment when “She farted…” kicked off all over the place. Channel Frederator, Front page on YouTube, front page on DailyMotion, flown out to Comic Con in San Diego, Flip animation festival, VU87 Spain, and, most awesomely, being shortlisted at the Virgin Media Shorts award, leading to regular cinema screenings of “She farted…” across the UK.
- Working on the various, fun freelance projects like Peculiar People Group, Kata Rokkar and BrightOne.
- Landing a job at Spring Digital in Farringdon, London
- Learning to cook properly!
With all of this behind me now, it’s time to wave goodbye to 2009 and put all this awesomeness in the memory-cache-treasure-chest for revelling nostalgic moments, and focus on this year… you know, 2010 and stuff. I’ve set a few aims already:
- Go full time freelance. This is my next big move and it’s of vital importance. I want to make your next project awesome. If you’re looking for someone to whip you up a web site, or want a promo that’ll set the “killer” gauge to max, get in touch.
- Get out more. You should see the “studio” tan I have developed.
- MAKE MORE STUFF FOR YOU! I’ve been quiet. Very quiet. I’m behind a mountain of work and work and sleep and work. But the cribbler doesn’t stop! I have been slyly storyboarding and developing some stuffs over the past few months and I’m focusing on giving you something that I think you will love. Bare with me. Though I aim to resume those small skits again (Just so you know I’m still here and rocking that shambolic rocking horse).
thank you
I’d just like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported me throughout the year. Whether you were one of those that gave me moral support, a kick in the ass, constructive criticism, or one of those who told a friend about cribble, or simply just watched a video, thanks. I’ll repay back the love by making more more stuff for you in 2010.
Have a great year everyone. Be on the lookout for new stuff.
