A great time at the Royal Television Society awards last night saw WeVee nominated for best digital innovation and its promo up on the big screen in Birmingham University's Great Hall. Although WeVee didn't scoop the prize on this occasion it did make it to the last three in this Midlands-wide competition.

We're out and about at the moment with WeVee workshops and about to add more clips from the Mini archive, so watch this space and keep WeVee-ing.

The WeVee roadshow team were out again yesterday. This time at the Library of Birmingham's Centre for the Child. We had 3 large gleeming iMacs and banners galore to attract the half term crowds.

It was a tough job as Sponge Bob Square Pants game was showing on neighbouring computer screens, but the children loved WeVee. We even spotted a few parents picking up a WeVee sticker...

There are some great new WeVee additions to the gallery and all created by complete novices in under 20minutes. So well done!

Have a look at the new WeVees in the gallery here

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
