so yeah more animation... what of it? a possible project on the horizon for P.C in the not too distant future? "PROJECT CLUB - THE MOVIE"??? Aim big thats what I say. in the mean time here's a lovely little one minute short that shows what can be achieved with a bit of time and skill. Totally embracing the wintery vibe and a sort of magical theme.
Project Club is a big fan of the return of Malarky to UK shores and very happy to see his work popping up once more across the north east streets. Here is a little taster of the treat in store on byker bridge after hours...
Tynemouth surf film festival is a 2 day international film fest celebrating all that is, and encompasses surf culture. Whadda treat. Over the weekend a great array of films were shown, but along side this were one off happenings which made the event something truly special... the pop up gallery opening was one such event. featuring the work of a number of project clubbers acting a a great showcase and great neet oot.
okay so this isnt strictly design based but its a great cause and movement.... ITS the beginning of November... HOW is it november already? Yesterday marked the start of the month and the start of a time to get hairy. WIth the first of the month came the start of Movember, an annual month-long event raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer.

The rules are simple: Register today at Movember.com, shave your face and start growing that 'stache. There are all sorts of tools to help you get started too, including a pocket guide, a free mustache party kit and a list of prizes to help get you motivated.
