Yup… Bloggers RULE!!!!

Now can I have some sponsorship please?!?!?!?!?!

I can do Pin Ups me…

If you follow @urbanvox on twitter you will probably remember I did a few Pinup photos with @lottieloves on Wimbledon Park last month.

Now if you know my work you will know it is not the first time I do a sexy photoshoot, and if you have ever been photographed by me you will know that I will always make sure that everyone involved is enjoying the experience. But I have to confess, I haven;t had a shoot where I had so much fun doing it in ages.

A couple of months ago TB came back home after spending the day in a friends house talking about a website that had a penguin that had a rocket pack and would fly and have adventures with other penguins online.

He then went on to ask me to put the said website on so he could play on it… but he didn;t remember the name of it and I couldn’t find it anywhere.

What I did find was a Disney game for the Nintendo DS Called Club Penguin : Herbert’s Revenge which was all about a penguin Secret agent.

what I didn’t know was that the DS game only scratched the surface of what is the Club Penguin.

First of all… sorry for taking so long to publish the results of the Laughing monkey awards…

As I have explained before… new job… and one heck of a manic week at it (we’re running a world cup special this month… LOADS of designy things to do… but it is finally over! Mag should be on the streets today… yayyyy )

Anyway… back to the award…

It was one of the most difficult decisions ever… I mean… I’ve never seem a group of people so willing of showing their embarrassments to the world… and how… each more embarrassing than the other…

It took loads of time and consideration to reach the veredict we have (and recruiting a 3rd judge to make the final decision…) but we got there at some point last night…

and the winner is… Gemma… with her 3 part most embarrassing moment EVER… If you haven’t read it yet… go and take a look… It is well worth it.

Thanks to all for joining the fun and being gracious enough to make an entry! You all deserve the laughing monkey award so wear that badge loud and proud and stay tuned for more stuff like that here at the UrbanVox HQ.

The other day me and the TB were watching YouTube videos (TB is quite a fan of a few videos you can see around there) and we found some LEGO stop Motion super productions. Since that day we’ve been entertaining the idea of doing something like that.

Now… I might know my way around film making and am OK with editing stuff (although this is far from me speciality) and I am not stranger to the stop motion concept – I mean it has to be at least a bit similar to animating using flash, right??? WRONG!!!!

You have NO IDEA about the amount of patience you need to get the whole thing into place. What with the whole moving the characters frame by frame, positioning of the camera and light, managing your crew (specially if your crew consists of a hyperactive 5 year old) then photographing frame after frame… If you know me you will know that I believe patience is an incredible virtue but that patience is NOT a virtue I have to spare…

The script is simple: A group of lego clone troopers (let’s call them red squad) attempts to rescue the princess from the giant sleeping boy in the second floor of the house and return to the trooper carrier… In theory that as a simple idea, that would not take long at all to finish… in a more practical scale I am starting to believe I should scale down the thing… A LOT!!! hehehehe

Once you watch the clip I’ve made to test frame rate you will see what I mean with that… That was just a test I glued together… but now taking a look at it, the thing is scarring me shitless…

It took me between 4pm and 2am to do what you are going to see bellow… Well… I admit the project is ambitious… but hey… hehehehe

Hope you enjoy!!! (Any ideas… comments… etc etc etc… PLEASE COMMENT!!! )

zya!
