Puppetman teams up with Backstage Academy to deliver Live Events Production Degree......

Puppetman is working with Backstage Academy, Barnsley to formulate and deliver the 3D module of the Live Events Production Degree. It's a brilliant course with loads of hands on experience. Have a look at this link to learn more  Backstage Academy (link opens in a new window).

We hope to be able to show some examples of the fantastic work that the students have completed soon.

Puppetman goes international!!!!!

Puppetman was recently commissioned by BBC Media to undertake a training project for the main Tunisian TV Station in Tunis. Matt spent over three weeks working with the staff to develop their 3D and virtual studio skills.

It was a really worthwhile experience and Matt hopes to continue to pass on his skills in the New Year.

Here's Matt working with some of the team...........................

Bowling Park Get Bees in Their Bonnets .........

We've been back to spend some more time with the lovely pupils and staff at Bowling Park Primary School in Bradford. This time we hosted a workshop with class 4. The children had great fun creating their own bees and butterflies, which they assisted in photographing. Their artwork was then used to create a bespoke computer game.

Mr Akhtar - Teacher of 4ia had this to say about the workshops:


"The atmosphere in class was great, the children and staff working with Matt all had a real buzz.


The children were fully engaged at all times and kids could all be successful in the task. Therefore all children enjoyed the morning and produced an excellent final product.


The morning was well planned and resources were accessible to children so they could be creative and expressive in their ideas."
