Eden Project
Posted By Jordan Cunliffe
A week ago I went up the Eden project with the rest of the Digital Documenters to film a minute long documentary about volunteers. After I waited two hours for everybody we arrived we had a look round and went ice skating.
Once night had fallen we started filming our documentary. The concept we used was that all volunteers would wear a fake moustache which at first people where sceptical about but towards the end people were approaching us and asking us for if they were able to wear one.
The moustaches were worn so that at the end of the documentary we could have the phrase "everyone who has a moustache in this film was giving up their time for free".

Pictures from DocFest!
Posted by Sam Cook
Here we are a week or so after DocFest and I finally have some pictures to put up! The weekend was fantastic and I cant really thank First Light enough for the opportunity and the fact that they paid for everything!
The weekend started with a long train ride and a night in the Copthorne Hotel before moving a couple of meters to our second hotel the next morning.
We got up at 9 30 , checked out at 10 and had to wait until 2 to check into the Jury Inn and so used the opportunity to first find and secondly register for DocFest.
After searching around most of Sheffield and getting
to know the area, we finally found the main hub for
all of the events where we received our delegate passes and a free goody bag which included a memory stick, a music CD and a really nicely presented festival guide book.
We left the main registration area, after securing our tickets for Banksy's Exit through the gift shop, and headed over to the HUB rooms. These rooms had a variety of different things going on inside, including BBC Academy workshops, networking sessions and the chance for big shots to fund peoples documentaries that were being pitched.
We hung around the HUBS for a while as we waited to attend the BBC Academy 3D Camera workshop which was being held in HUB B.
The workshop was really interesting and informative as we got the chance to see consumer and professional 3D set ups as well as see previews of some of the projects and tests that BBC are doing with 3D.
We saw a nature show in 3D, a cooking show in 3D, JLS in 3D and a short documentary about peregrine falcons in 3D.
Some of these things worked better than others as you can imagine. A cooking show in 3D....
We then left the workshop and found ourselves checking in at the Jury Inn and briefly meeting the London Digital Documenters team , before heading off to the Exit Through The Gift Shop screening.
It was a busy but great screening which had the editor and producer on hand afterwards for a brief Q+A session.
I thoroughly enjoyed the film and found the ending incredibly un expected.
In the next few days we got to see a few more docs including, After the Apocalypse, But film is my mistress and the other shorter docs that played before every feature.
One thing we did find is that because there was so much going on that we ended up missing things.
Either way, we had a fantastic time and thouroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend going in the future!

Sheffield DocFest 2010
Posted by Sam Cook
Last weekend me and Luke Rowe attended Sheffield Docfest on behalf of First Light and Digital Documenters. It was a great weekend and we were able to watch some fantastic documentaries and attend some interesting workshops.
Each feature length documentary played after a short 5 -10 minute documentary. The short documentaries we saw included:
Get Luda, Don't give up your guns and The Barbarians
And the features were:
Exit through the gift shop, After the Apocalypse, But film is my mistress,
All three features were great. They all had a different style and incredibly different content, but were all incredibly engaging.
We have some pictures of our trip up as well as a video blog which will be uploaded soon along with opinions on the documentaries and workshops.

Posted by Sam Cook
Me and Luke took a trip to Bristol yesterday for a talk up at UWE. Really interesting day, had a talk from south west screen and from a managing editor at BBC Bristol, few group activities and met some great people.
There wasn't really much of a chance to take many pictures but we got two of things in town that were interesting...One being the station...

Filming for the E-Card
Posted by Sam Cook
The filming for Phoenix Digitals E-card went really well. Seen the footage and with the light graffiti it's all looking cool. Here's a few pictures of us at work:

We'll be able to put the video up on-line once Phoenix have released it.
