8 Hours Overtime

8 Uur Overwerken voor het goede doelOn March 26th, ‘8 Uur Overwerken voor het goede doel’ (8 Hours Overtime for charity) will start in the city of Arnhem (NL). In eight hours time, five teams – consisting of five creative minds and a coach, will work on different projects for five charities. These creative teams will come up corporate identities, communication strategies, logos, merchandise, websites, ad campaigns and other immediately applicable concepts.

Two birds, one stone
Initiator Gerjanne Tiemens explains: ‘We kill two birds with one stone. Charities get beautiful designs and wonderful ideas; young creative minds get the opportunity to add products to their portfolio and make an important contribution to society. Besides that, everyone connects with interesting people and finds inspiration!’

National initiative
Eight hours overtime began in Groningen in 2004, but will be held in ten different cities this year! Participating cities are Amsterdam, Apeldoorn, Arnhem, Den Haag, Groningen, Leeuwarden, Rotterdam, Tilburg, Utrecht and Amersfoort.

Creative minds
There is still room for more creative minds. Posters and flyers will be distributed in the near future and more media attention shall be paid nearer the event.

You can still sign up, on the website
You can also sign up on Twitter

Sponsoring
To make the event a guaranteed success, they are still looking for more sponsors, at a minimum of four, who can donate €250,- each. They are also looking for sponsored goods, like catering, or computers to use during the event.

Recommendations: Whip It!

For those of you who like Ellen Page (Juno) as much as I do, this is a real treat. Whip It! is a film about doing what you want for yourself and learning that people will support you, even though it might not have been the plan they had for you. It's a film I think might not appeal to everyone out there, but it's still endearing enough to be liked by many. Oh, it's about rollerskating. The roller derby. I really enjoyed it!

My favorite animation in the history of Disney

This is my all-time favorite bit of animation by Disney. The whole of Fantasia is great, and while this is one of the more complex pieces of animation, most of Fantasia strips down to the core of imagination. Something I've always greatly admired! That said, this is also very very romantic, and funny.

Did you know, this is not the original cut of Fantasia? The original version showed a rather dumb looking black centaur, tending to the others. Realise this film was made in 1940. Disney later banned the original material, ashamed of their racist view. Can we really blame them for making it, back then, though? Times were different. It's not right, but that was the way it was, back then.

Another reason why this is my favorite animation of all time is that fact that it was animated to music. There's nothing more spontaneous than that.
