		<title>Jane&#8217;s Brain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Another year, another competition.
This is my entry for Adam &#038; Joe&#8217;s Video Wars competition. They do the Saturday morning radio show on BBC 6 Music and one of the more popular features on the show (out of a grand total of two) is Song Wars, where Adam and Joe create a song each based on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bowled over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I won! The competition results were announced today and Bowling for Sandercoe came out on top. I now get a load of cool guitar stuff to distract me from making more films.
The film has also made it onto the front page of YouTube, generating over 400,000 views and a ton of comments at the time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bowling for Sandercoe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I think this one needs a bit of explaining&#8230;
As part of my fledgling midlife crisis, I&#8217;m trying to teach myself to play the guitar. Justin Sandercoe is a very nice man with a website devoted to teaching people to play the guitar. It&#8217;s like we&#8217;re made for each other. Speaking as a complete guitar noob, [...]]]></description>

		<title>You know you want it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Waiting for the music for this exciting new film has given me time to take stock and cast a critical eye over the version that I&#8217;d edited together. It turns out this is a good thing, because I spotted a few problems with it and I&#8217;m now in the process of reshooting a couple of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Assume the position</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It occurs to me that I maybe didn&#8217;t need to switch to an easy-access blog-style system for this site because it never actually gets updated. I have this vision of subscribers to my RSS feed sitting at their computers with big white beards all matted with dust and cobwebs, grown old and decrepit waiting for [...]]]></description>

		<title>I tube, you tube, we all tube for youtube</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick note to say I&#8217;ve just uploaded a new test snippet to youtube. This one&#8217;s a treadmill technique that may or may not be useful for giving the appearance of a dolly shot of walking characters without actually moving the camera. 
You can see it here.

		<title>Note to self</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;re writing a four minute story that features nothing but two characters talking to each other, don&#8217;t forget that animating dialogue is actually really, really boring.

		<title>How we used to live</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As part of the ongoing renovations, I&#8217;ve moved everything from the old site to an archive. If you can&#8217;t find something that used to be here, it should still be there. As far as I know, the only thing that I left out in the redesign was the frankly useless tips page, which I lost [...]]]></description>

		<title>And we&#8217;re back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think the site is mostly done now. There&#8217;s a few things to fix and I need to add youtube links to the film pages but I think everything else is in place. If you spot any problems, you can now leave one of those snazzy internet comment things right here and I&#8217;ll try to [...]]]></description>
