Ну, погоди!

Nu, pogodi!

As a Child i had a VHS of a Russian cartoon named Nu, Pogodi! that my mother had bought at a car boot sale, i watched this video religiously with my brother......we loved it even though its all in russian, it didnt stop us from enjoying it.

The VHS we once owned had been thrown out at some point whilst growing up, myself and brother both were talking about this video the other day, and we could not remember what the cartoon was called, that was probably due to the fact it was all written in Russian.
BUT after searching and searching i finally found the name of this cartoon and the episodes are all on Youtube. Brilliant find, it was incredible to watch all over again.

It even has a Wikipedia Description
Nu, pogodi! (Russian: Ну, погоди!, Well, Just You Wait!^[1] or You Just Wait!^[2]) is a Soviet/Russian animated series produced by Soyuzmultfilm. The series was created in 1969 and became a popular cartoon of the Soviet Union.
The series follows the comical adventures of a mischievous yet artistic wolf trying to catch (and presumably eat) a hare. The series has additional characters that usually either help the hare or interfere with the wolf's plans.

// Perfect Fit Finder

Perfect Fit Finder

Object - Find objects to try and fill every hole on the Perfect Fit Finder. A perfect fit should hold the object within the hole and it not drop out

Purpose - Finding a Perfect Fit between two unrelated objects, gives you a strange sense of pointless satisfaction. The objects are not made to fit together, but by chance they are exactly the right size to fit to what can only be called perfection.

Once the first fit is found, it becomes an obsession almost an addiction, only satisfied when every hole is filled.

// 'Stolen' Exhibition - Arden and Anstruther Gallery

A photographic response to a brief based around a quote from the late Paul Arden, "Steal, but only the things that speak directly to your soul. Its not where you take things from, it where you take things to. Celebrate thievery". The concept of 'Under the cover of darkness' exploits the competitive nature of suburban front gardens, by manipulating an entire roads plant pots onto one households front garden.

// What is Watt

What is Watt

A 1st year project experimenting with light and photographic film.


We have all made the mistake of opening the back of the camera before winding back the film, I wanted to see the images I could produce from this process, without any light having ever traveled through the lens to the film. I have taken three different watt bulbs. A 35 watt energy saving bulb, a regular 60 watt bulb and a red fire-glow 60 watt bulb. The three images shown above are the exact frames when the light was exposed to the film for all 3 bulbs. The aim was to find out how different sources and strengths of light can effect the film, would the reaction always be the same.

The entire length of film No.3 - 60 Watts red bulb. Showing the exact point where the film was exposed to the light source at frame 18 (highlighted), allowing us to see the light traveling in either direction of the film.

// Middlesbrough - Still In Bed

Middlesbrough - Still In Bed

People who live in Middlesbrough are the laziest in Britain.

Residents there lie in bed until 8.12am, whereas the average Brit gets up at 6.48am.

After finding out that the laziest town in Britain was Middlesbrough, i was intrigued and began to have a wonder around, via Google street view. To my amazement the town of Middlesbrough was actually still asleep. The images taken are in broad daylight yet there is not a soul to be seen.

I designed a book which highlighted the fact that Middlesbrough has been caught and proven by Google street view, that they are in fact the laziest town in Britian. I focused on screen shots of Empty Car Parks, Closed Corner Shops, Abandoned Road Works and Empty Bus Shelters. The book is made up of 50 images to really show the extent of how empty Middlesbrough is.

This is 100% real go and check middlebrough on street view for your self.

// Nightmare

// Nightmare

Eisoptrophobia - an abnormal and persistent fear of mirrors. Exploring the fear certain individuals suffer from sleeping in a room with mirrors, evoking a sense of being trapped in an unfamiliar environment; the mirror offering a glimpse into an imaginary space.


^^
By placing these mirrored sheets of metal between parts of the body, we were able to create this distorted image of a person, which we then photographed and photocopied on to acetate sheets in order to project the images back though mirrors on Over Head Projectors

For the final piece we took the projections into a bedroom,highlighting the context of the phobia. Rather than projecting the images straight on to the wall they are directed into a mirror in front of the bed and reflected back towards the wall, amplifying the uncomfortable confusion the mirror provides. The shot was then taken looking into another mirror, confusing the viewer even more to what is really going on.
