How Hayao Miyazaki storyboarded the car chase in The Castle of Cagliostro (1979), dir. Hayao Miyazaki, Tokyo Movie Shinsha It may have been his first film, but Miyazaki's mastery as a director is already clear here -- this iconic sequence plays out just as he sketched it

🎄It’s begun!🎄We’ve started making our Christmas film on the Children’s & Teenage Cancer Unit! Lots of challenges due to Covid but it’s helped us generate some really fun ideas. Had a great time with a super bright and talented Young Person this afternoon - getting our Elf on!⭐️

Having loads of fun with Yr6 @ChilliRoad this 1/2 term! They’re exploring fun memories from their time at school. I once bugged my teacher into picking me to play Odysseus - the main part in the play for year above! 😂 Need to check before I share student work as they’re in it.👍

Thanks Emma, that’s so great to hear! We loved the experience too. We’re so glad we got to come and meet you and work together. Take care and see you soon we hope!
Replying to @JosieBrookes
This was definitely one of the most exciting things about the song being released as a single... making the video. I absolutely love it, and I find making videos really tough...working with Josie and Tom was just wonderful.

Lovely lively illustration with Y4 @ChilliRoad for their Beowulf animation project. It’s a 2 session project so will be fun to see what we can do in a short time. They work really hard when they’re into it so optomistic!
