I’m back in Vienna. This time with Zoe and Steve and over 120 Kleeneze Distributors for the 2008 Autumn Destination Conference.
We’ll be filming all the fun and posting daily video diaries on a conference website that Gareth and the iceni design team put together - check it out as the videos come online from the 24th October - www.vienna08.co.uk
The whole iceni team was out in force at the launch party for the WRAP DVD.
WRAP is a collection of 6 films with accompanying teacher’s notes and lesson plans that form a teacher’s guide to film making as part of a creative curriculum. Find out more here www.film-in-education.co.uk
Held in the digital theatre at the incredible PUBLIC building, WRAP launched to an audience of over 250 representatives from educational, government and film organisations.
Communication Matters, a DVD by Midlands creative company iceni, for Birmingham City Council and the National Deaf Children’s Society, is Highly Commended at the 2008 International Visual Communications Association Clarion Awards.

I spent a day with a photographer taking pictures at the Hall of Memory in Birmingham. We spent all of the morning inside, taking pictures of the 3 Books of Condolences, the poppies and messages, the stunning stained glass window - praying for some sunshine so that we could get the exterior shots.
The clouds moved on by late afternoon and a beautiful Autumn sunshine helped us get the pictures that topped off the day. Job well done!
The moral of the story, it can’t rain all the time…
The iceni girls had a great day out on Friday, attending the IVCA Clarion awards held at the BFI in London.
We were absolutely thrilled that iceni’s ‘Communication Matters’ DVD (see the main website for more info), was highly commended – and the canopes were delicious!
