Bon giorno!
I thought I'd do a mini post on mini art club as we have recently made a mini film for Manchester Art Gallery.
Mini Art Club is a free monthly session created for children ages 0-5. (My Favourite!!)
Michiko is the lady who creates a new world of visual and interactive delight each month, and I'm her helperer. I have taken my camera each time to capture lovely mini moments and its been brilliant!
This film is from the August session focusing on Light. (Which I was very familiar with from working at Reggio Emilia fanatics Reflections Nursery - Always loving light!)
I have a back catalogue of little clips from over the months that hopefully will make themselves into films soon.
I have recently been approached by the Cultural Volunteers Coordinators Forum, (who work with Manchester Art Gallery and lots of other galleries and museums) to make an 8 minute film to promote volunteering around Manchester. Fingers crossed I get picked as the most bestest candidate.
Ciao,
Lady Wild

Manchester Art Gallery
Jessica here,
We were extremely privileged to be asked to make a film for Manchester Art Gallery to be part of the Pre-Raphaelite Experiment - a year long investigation into what the Pre-Raphaelite paintings mean to Mancunians today.
I worked alongside some lovely artists as part of the month long project Far Far Away: A Summer of Stories for Families.
As always,
Filmed by Jess (and additional footage by some of the galleries handy employees)
and Music by Dan
I'm very excited to be part of this exhibition. I have visited the gallery from a very young age, as did my parents and my grandparents. I think my granddad used to come and see the exhibitions instead of going to school!
This film and other related material will be exhibited at the end of the month until April 2012.
Go have a lookie.
Oh and if you have enough money (£8) go and see the Ford Maddox Brown exhibition, I went to the preview with Miss Lauren Berry, (and even though we missed the free booze,) it was an incredible collection of work!

Mixtape 1 - FIRST BLOG UP NORTH!!!
Hello!
We've decided to make a mixtape every week which you can download by clicking the image below. This week we have tried to make a soundtrack for an imaginary film. It's quite eclectic but we think it's a good listen.
Please note that we do not own any of the material in this playlist, we are happy to remove it immediately if the owner of the copyright so wishes.
It's been ages since we've posted a blog, so here we are! We've been very busy moving to Manchester (Chorlton Cum- Hardy to be precise). We're all settled in and have already attended several surprisingly debauched house parties in what we thought was a relatively sleepy suburb.
So what have we been up to other than partying like Charlie Sheen?
Jess has been working here freelance running art workshops for little people (that means children not the vertically challenged).
Dan has been working freelance for this lot running music technology workshops in a studio that features in the film 24 hour party people with the happy mondays (well, actors pretending to be the happy mondays)!
Keep your eyes peeled for next week's mix!

Nordic Giants - Little Bird feat. Alyusha Live
We graced playgroup with our presence to capture Nordic Giants unveiling their new single Little Bird feat. Alyusha.
They put on a riveting gig with they're great combination of ethereal post-rock and beautiful/brutal films projected to their performance.
Visit myspace.com/nordicgiants for more tunes and info!
Hopefully they'll come to visit Manchester and we can record their next single.

Moving up North!
Living down south has been great, but now I'm ready fer home town and Mister Bee is ready for a Northern change. New bands to film and harass!
Chorlton, Manchester.
Our rent is half the amount we are paying in Brighton! It's just as central, and just as big (it actually has taller ceilings) And Chorlton, is a buzzin place to live. It's got a Metro link now and everything.
The North - South divide is interesting. I wonder where it started.
Northerners think that southerners are rude and boring, and Southerns think that Northerners are poor and stupid, which according to research in Sheffield, is true.
"People living in the south are likely to be better educated and earn more money than their northern counterparts"
"Southerners will also have more doctors and dentists to treat them - but are less likely to be ill."
So we get ill more as well.
I'm trying to find a starting point. I wish I would have paid more attention in History about the Romans and the Vikings. I think the Vikings were pretty cool about the North, they chose to live in North, and that's something.
Maybe I'll buy a book.
I have been picked up on my words a lot since living in Brighton, and have probably had to adapt my accent and slang words. But now I'm going to embrace them once more, and also pass them on to Mister Bee.
I have been racking my brains, of all the slang once used when I used to live in Lancashire, now sadly repressed.
Bag 'ed, buzzin, chuddy, soz, owt, nowt, bomb it, peggit, kecks, gegs, skennin, dafty, jolly dancers, wazzuck, widgy, you lying get, giv ower,
ava gora telly on me ed?
I can't think of anymore and I really should be packing for this move.
Wild Bees go North, (where bands are proper more buzzin like)
Northern Bee Lovely.

Wild Bees vs Bear
This is taken from the "Born Survivor" series of Bear Grylls. Bear's real name is Edward Michael Grylls.
Eddy Grylls.
"Out of all the massive, lethal, agressive man eating crocs, snakes and aligators....the one that gets me is a bee! Typical"
Ha!
Well, after all those harmless insects and animals you have eaten alive on your stupid STUPID show, you deserve this!
Feel the wrath of the bees on your stupid face!!

New Three Trapped Tigers and Nordic Giants Gig
Beeutiful!
Here are the Three Trapped Tiger's videos from Meadowlands Festival.
CREEPIES
AND
11
Quite different edits, but both buzzin!
We went to shoot Nordic Giants last night.
Their set was incredibuzzingly bee-riliant, accompanied by some amazing films and some of the best outfits I have seen on stage,
probably better than that Elton John!
I was quite sad that I didn't know it was a fancy affair or else I would have got my bee costume on.
The footage and the recordings are a treat to the ears and eyes.
We cant wait to share them with you.
Keep your peepers posted,
Queen Bee and Bee Bee King. XX
