Becky on the radio! (again!)

Unfortunately, or fortunately for Becky, you can't listen again to her radio interview with Carl Chinn from Sunday 26th September. BUT I can tell you that it was great! Becky and Ruth Ward from ReWired PR (pictured above) spoke to Carl ALL about WeVee, from the seedling of the idea to the clips we've chosen for the site and it's success to date!

BAFTA Young Games Designer Workshop

WeVee was invited to present at the BAFTA Young Games Designer Workshop at the MAC in Birmingham last week. This was a chance for young people (although the room was full of young men actually, come on girls!) to hear about games design from some of the best game designers in the country.

We were up after Pete O'Donnell from Freestyle Games, the company who designed DJ Hero, so the pressure was on to hold the audience's attention. It was a great chance for us to show a group of people something new and with their 'gamer' hats on, WeVee was a great opportunity for them to explore their creativity as well as learn the art of editing.

We'd like to thank Screen West Midlands for inviting us along and also good luck to all the entrants to the Game Design competition. Information about the competition can be found here

WeVee in the classroom

Want to stretch your pupils' knowledge and creativity? Want to know how to create the best mash-up or where to find the best clips? How would you like to have your very own WeVee workshop at your school for a day?

We know that using WeVee at home or in the classroom can be a bit daunting for users if they don't have any guidance or topics to kick start their Weveeing experience. So, how about we come to your school, take over the IT suite for an hour or so and guide pupils and/or teachers through choosing the best archive clips and a suitable track to create their very own mash-up videos to share with friends and family? Like a private tuition session!

From October we will be visiting schools in the Midlands to run WeVee workshops with pupils and teachers, working around current topics they're covering in History or using clips from the town or county in which they live.

All we need is enthusiastic pupils and an IT suite for an hour or so. Feedback from our workshops earlier in the year have been incredibly positive, with teachers now using WeVee as part of their creative lesson plans.

If you'd like to be involved please contact us at info@weevee.co.uk we're looking forward to hearing from you.

The WeVee Team

Wevee's hypnotic!

The football archive we unearthed in time for the World Cup is proving popular! Of special interest to Gloucester City fans is the clip of the team being hypnotised before the game. Click here to see the news article on the This is Gloucestershire website and here to see the clip for yourself!

Not only has WeVee news been spreading online and in newspapers, but the WeVee team have also been out and about in schools and at public digital events.

School workshops - Fancy having the WeVee team demonstrate how you can use WeVee in your lessons? All we need are enthusiastic pupils and a set of computers and we will transform your class into a team of editors and wannabe film makers in an hour! Contact us for more information.
