A big THANK YOU :-)

... for coming PREPARED to the classes. Much appreciated!

Special words of thanks to Grzegorz for his brilliant didgeridoo presentation. Good on you mate!

Click on the pictures to listen to traditional didgeridoo music as well as a modern combo of traditional and present-day instruments.





































Click here to see the clip I used today as introduction to our class. And make sure you read the info on the right. The Games is a famed spoof documentary, and as soon as I get the DVD we'll watch some clips in class.

Comedians and satirists John Clarke and Bryan Dawe (who both starred in The Games) are mostly known for their mock interviews in which Clarke takes on the persona of a politician and has to answer some difficult questions from Dawe. "The Front Fell Off" is one legendary interview from that pair.


Here you will find the actual "Sorry Speech" given by Kevin Rudd. You can compare the two and see which of them is more effective.

And finally go and see what Weta Digital is capable of. Start with their commercials (especially Snowball) and then go and explore their reels.
