Milk Candy Farm

Milk Candy Farm is an idea that me, Jack Boyles and Richard Norman came up with, basically its the name of a web site we want to make from which we will make all kinds of media like animations, films, documentaries, games, really anything we make in our spare time. We are pulling in all the people we know who we feel can contribute, we've been talking to students that cover graphic design, web design, students who want to write scripts for us, and media students who want to help with all things like filming and editing. Jack want to contribute his directing skills and has lots of ideas for sketches and short films, Richard also has lots of ideas and plans to make use of the website and he also wants to practice his skills with a camera and show off his smooth hand held work.

Personally I can contribute a lot because I know how to use flash very well and I can easily make web based animations, I am also currently learning script so I can make games but at the moment I'm looking for a programmer to help and even give me a learning boost. I can also contribute artistically by doing storyboards and the endless list of design ideas for games and other media I produce all the time. On top of this the three of us live together and are constantly collaborating ideas, this would also make it easier to run a website as at least three of us are around to keep it organised.

Despite all this there is one other key factor that is attracting all this attention and that is that I'm and receiving £800 from the government and its not the kind of money I want to spend to myself so I am putting it all into this idea to Milk Candy Farm a budget. This will give us the chance to put money into some of our efforts and explore some new ways of producing media.

I think that this will be a very productive way of spending our spare time, we can only benefit from doing this and it help us by beginning a network, even if it is among friends it will build from there.
