Stone City

I recently produced a bit of Flash animation and other art for the website of Stone City Films. The redesign was timed to coincide with the broadcast of their latest production, Casualty 1909. (The first episode aired on BBC 1 on the 14th, but distracted as I’ve been, this post comes a couple of weeks late.) The series is set in the Royal London Hospital, sketched here. 

This was my first attempt at Flash. I don’t even have an up to date version of the program, so the animation was created in Illustrator instead.

Update April 2012: The Stone City Films website has since been redesigned, but you can still see the animated pigeons here.

This account places the monument in the context of the times, particularly in relation to the 1905 Aliens Act, on which more here.

Back to the present now, and Bob has a bunch of links to recent items on Left antisemitism and its deniers, while other bloggers express their considered view on a sample from Ken Loach: yuk, blech, eew, a real stinker.
