I'll Be There

I will be at the 2010 New Blood showcase in London. Tom and I have been invited to show our work from the past year. I cant wait, it is at a very hectic time for me but i will be there. Its a 4 day event organised by D&AD for newcomers of the industry to showcase their work and hopefully get spotted by any creative. It starts on the 25th of June and its at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, London. Come for a glance at mine and other creative's work. Its not just for advertising, anyone in the creative industry can showcase their work.

It's Summertime and the Weather is Fine

After a week of no blog posts (due to the brew) I thought I needed to write something. So here you go, its a boiling day in Lincoln. Its been hot all week and im loving it.

My degree is Finito

Today I handed in the very last bit of work on my course. I have finished my 3 years at university..and im knackered, all-nighters this whole week and then drinks at a bar with our tutors straight after. But im holding strong and preparing myself for tonight, where i will party so hard! You get me.

Really????

How to become an International Spy

This was a short stop-motion animation i made in my 1st year at university. Im so proud of it, although i do look at it now and think "wtf". I remember everyone else in my year doing nice videos about dogs and beaches.....and i choose to put a murderous spy in mine, haha. I had to draw 140 images to make this film. Hard work payed off. The name's Bond.....

Elaine on Email

I was cleaning up my Hotmail emails today, just going trough them and deleting the very old ones. I came across the very first email my mum had sent me.....and yes i burst out laughing. I remember when my mum first asked me for my email address, i told her it and then said @hotmail.com.....SHE WROTE- " at hotmail.com" LOL "mum its the sign "@" and there are no spaces in emails address' or websites. Anyway here's the email:

I think i've sent an email to thwe wrong address. Hola nadine me llamo elaine. Encantada. I'm only on lesson three so progress is slow. Any luck with a job yet you are going to need one soon. Your dad said you were rude to him oon the phone today. You will need to apologise if you intend to come home some time. Hope you are studying hard. Speak to you soon luv mum.

I want to Party

...but i cannot. Too much work to do this weekend. The last/ hardest weekend possibly, of my life. There was a roller disco on at my student union club last night. Why oh why did they have to put on such a good night when im stuck home working! Grrrrrrrrr, Tuesday will be the day of getting extremely intoxicated......cant wait!

Get your Groove On!

The Streets are back in my Life

My housemate Natalie, recently (while having a Wii Mario Kart sesh) in her room put The Streets on her Spotify. I hadnt listened to them in ages. I saw them live last year at V Festival, they were incredible. They're old albums are ALOT better than their new ones. I will now be blasting Streets out of my sub-woofer!

Ed-it-ing

Tom and I are in the computer room editing our film. Im really happy with it now, its horrible watching yourself on camera though. Some scenes are so funny. We have a clip of one of my housemates eating an apple....it pans to me and i say "eating an apple without washing it" On the first take however, my housemate decided to shout "Im eating a facking apple without even facking washing it!" Which set me off laughing. I managed to control myself by the 18th take.

Cool as Ice

I have no idea where this image came from, or what it was used for.....possibly an ad. I would use it as an ad for heartburn or some similar product, maybe central heating. But i think the image is cool.......as ice

Yves Saint Laurent-L'Homme

I used to constantly watch this ad on Youtube when it was first aired in 2008. I love the song, Nicolas Atchine - Everything Can Go. The ad just looks so sophisticated and cleanly filmed. Ive looked for the song everywhere to download/buy but i dont think the full track has been released yet. The man in it is Olivier Martinez (french model/actor), Kylie Minogue's ex i believe. Beautiful, I hope i get to produce a mesmerizing perfume ad, like this, one day.

STRESS

Last few days before hand-in. Losing sleep is not the best for me.....thank god for Red Bull and Relentless. Ill be an energetic grouch monster. Editing mine and Tom's self promo....well trying to anyway. Its not going well, bad quality, not the right format, different screen sizes, sound issues.....i could go on. Im just keeping the feeling we got from our 1st assessment in mind. We will do it......eventually.

HAHA

Something else I have to worry about....think i laugh about 100 times a day.

What the fuck is for dinner?

I'm Ready

......for possibly the hardest week of my life. The dreaded last week of university. Its come up quicker than facebook can change its layout.

A gloriously retarded story from The Mighty Boosh. This one is a old favourite.

I love you Spotify!

I am a HUGE music fan. I cannot go a day without listening to any type of music. I have an iPod, iTunes, iPhone, Spotify, Last FM and various radio station/music apps. So i was so happy today when i opened up Spotify, to find they had taken all of the tracks on my Mac and simply put them onto my very own Spotify playlist. Im honestly not advertising for them, but now i can have all of my music without the ads (irony...as im in advertising) All of my tracks are on one application. Me=HAPPY
