we heart SCO

I heart SCO
We seriously heart the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

I can’t give you any details (I’d have to kill you) but we’re talking to the SCO about a really exciting collaboration for The Lost Book. It’s going to be brilliant! We had a great meeting this morning with Lucy and Kirsten in the Education Office; the level of enthusiasm from the SCO is amazing.

it's a dog's life

dog models screen shots

This week has been a bit crazy but some of the craziness has been fun. Helen mentioned we've been doing a lot of concept work for the Lost Book and we are now beginning to turn our ideas into (virtual) reality. As you can see from the screenshots above there is a bit of dog evolution happening. This isn't the only thing that's developing and we hope to be able to show you some more in the next few weeks as we really get stuck in. I always enjoy this stage - seeing those sketches become 3D and then start to move is rather eerie but also rather special.
