The Bad Knights at the BFI

Bloody hell. I'm going up in the world. On January 12th, me, my parents, and my good friend Matt, set off for London, where I was being awarded the Best Animation Award, get my £3000 to make my next animation, and meet the people from Framestore productions who will be mentoring me. See the award ceremony in all it's glory.

Ah right. So if you take the BTEC then it pretty much is the only thing you do. I'm not sure on the taster day, we went into this room and we had to edit a short scene together of this blond guy (who was out teacher for the editing) walking up to a room, entering and turning a PC on. Anyway he said that the National Award is part-time course, which means that you can do other A-levels as well.

Hmm, well it looks like they changed some things. Just do some researching, and u'll find what's right for u

[grifterguy]

Congratulations on your win! I have just come back from Cirencester College for the 'Choices at 16' induction day. I did a Pratical Media Production thing with a guy called Oogoo and we made a little 10 second animation. He showed us your work. You obviously put a lot of effort into it so well done!

[CallumCormie]

Thanks man. Do u think u might go to Ciren?

[grifterguy]

Yep. I have decided I'm definitely going there. It's quite upsetting because pretty much all of my mates are staying at Sixth Form. We really all want to stay together and it's really sad that we're not. But yeah Ciren looks great, what course did you do? There is some B-Tec thing or there is a National Award in Media Production, it's all very confusing. Lol.

[CallumCormie]

Yeah I know how that feels. Don't worry, u'll find more friends, and its best to do what u want to do. There's nothing to say u still can't hang out with them in ur own time

Had to split this comment into two, blood limit

I did a BTEC, which is the same thing as the National award, or it was the last time I checked. Its basically the same as 3 A-levels and its great if u really want to get into the Media world. U can make a lot more films than the other courses, and there are no exams. Just lots of essays though. Still, if u'r not totally sure, u can always just A-level Media course, and take over courses as well. U can take another course with a BTEC like I did, but it won't be easy, I can tell you. Hope it heps

£3000 spent well? what u working on!

[grifterguy]

Yeah good idea. So what you been up to since this? Moving up in the world are we? Lol.

[CallumCormie]

It's still in the planning stage, so i can't tell u now, but it is going foward :)
