I'm working in Cornwall all day today. I'm with a group of teaching assistants from primary schools who are in an ICT session. Some of the work they are doing on animation using Digital Blue cameras is very impressive, not least due to their great creativity and enthusiasm. Almost all of the group have opted for the Aardman Film style classic plasticine figures, and all have managed to work some kind of educational message into their little sequence of 'stop start' footage. Although there are no Wallaces or Grommits, there are plenty of multicoloured butterflies, mice, frogs, and even a Cornish pastie! Ultimately, they will be uploading their finished products onto YouTube for all to enjoy.It has been well worth the 90 minute drive down from Plymouth today to witness - and the Cornwall College campus looks very beautiful today in the sunshine. It's really nice to work with such.... well, animated students.
