Was having a clear out of old tech and found this - @blue_zoo ’s very first VTR deck from twenty years ago! We delivered over 200 eps of Blue Cow to @cbeebieshq using this, so couldn’t bring myself to junk it! 💙🤓
“It’s a bit like a memory card in a camera, but a long strip of tape on wheels inside a plastic box“ Evie is a bit baffled by this thing 😆 #generationZ
Went for a beautifully sunny Sunday morning run and had an impromptu AnimationUK meeting half way around when I bumped into Kate O’Connor 😄 it’s the first face to face work conversation in over a month! Fantastic to hear all the vitally important work she’s being doing with @ukscreenalliance championing the thriving animation industry to government while in lockdown 👏🙌 Then ran along the river before my legs gave up on me 🥵 managed to run my furthest yet - 3/4 of a Marathon!! 💥
Whoop! This makes me very happy 😊 We were the only company who got in the Best Place to Work in TV 2020 list that has over 150 employees. It sure ain’t easy cultivating a trusting, respectful and nurturing environment & culture when you can’t fit everyone into a room... or even a building! So it’s great to know we are heading in right direction. Lots more work to do to get to where we want to be 💙
#10yearchallenge? Here’s my #30yearchallenge 😆 Me and my bro playing on our Acorn BBC Micro 🕹 Geek fact: did you know Acorn developed into ARM (Acorn RISC Machine) who have gone on to design the main chip used in pretty much every smartphone in the world today? 🤓
Honoured to be with this bunch. It’s one thing to do a job you love, but when it has a direct impact on so many a kid’s futures in such a fundamental skill its a whole different level. The @numberblocks team rocks and I’m utterly proud to work with them 💙
Found this... my scribblings from the summer of 2000 working out the first IT setup of @blue_zoo before we started... Max or Maya? 128MB or 256MB memory in workstations!? Fortunately it all seemed to work out! ☺️🤓
