competition winners get to meet Ray Harryhausen
Congratulations to both the winners. The competition was judged by Tony Dalton from the Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation
Victoria Smith sent us this animation of her skeltal dinosaur.
"We chose this as one of the winners as we really like the fact that Victoria had made the creature herself. There is a nice moment in the animation where the dragon tries to shelter from the rain by putting his wings over his head, but with no skin between the bones he still carries on getting wet and kicks the football in frustration, a subtle reference to the World Cup maybe?"
The other winner was Jamie Gibbs
"We loved this animation because of the story it told. There are some lovely moments, such as the toast and jam, but my favourite bit is when the robot folds the clothes right at the end. Jamie is obviously very interested in the art of animation and it shows in this video."
Both winners attended the launch of the exhibition and met Ray Harryhausen and received the new book "Ray Harryhausen - A Life In Pictures" signed by him.
Special Events
Vanessa Smith created a skeletal dragon for her animation, and Jamie Gibbs told us a story of a domestic robot using lego.

Counted - A DOCUMENTARY PLAY ABOUT british democracy The General Election 2010 and the nation can vote - but what does it mean to be counted? In a country where people are more likely to vote for X - Factor than for the next Prime Minister, a documentary-play comes right to Westminster's doorstep, shedding light on why - in a world at war over democracy and in economic meltdown - so many people don't vote.

Thank you for the lovely day we had at the London Film Museum. We had a nice time. I enjoyed myself very much.
I liked the dinosaur with a loud roar and the 3D cinema.
I liked all the Daleks and the pirates and the robot on the Ready Brek advert.
I liked looking at the costumes.
