Well that was a busy summer!
Between March and September this year, we produced something in the region of 60 films for a range of clients. From teenage love stories for the National Libraries of Wales to comedy sketches aimed at students studying English as a foreign language for the British Council. One project came hot on the heels of another.
And now the fruits of our labour are being released to an enthusiastic audience, it feels a bit like having your children leave home to go to college. Thankfully, the feedback we have been getting has been great.
The folk at ITEFL (who know a bit about teaching English as a foreign language) have hailed the films we created for the British Council as 'some of the best teaching resources' they have ever had'.
The films we have made to promote libraries for sixth formers are now going to be used to promote public libraries as well as college libraries... as the public libraries liked them so very much.
The film we made to explain child employment law to young people in RCT, is now going to be used nationally, as there was nothing else that came close to it in terms of explaining children's rights to children.
So all the hard work has paid off, and while we may have spent much of the summer months with our eyes glued to computer screens (was there the BBQ summer they were speaking about?), it seems like someone up there liked us enough to give us an Indian summer to make up for it.

The Khan Academy blew us away when we were first introduced to it. A totally free resource that will assist children, parents, teachers and your accountant with their mathematical abilities. Taking you from absolute zero mathematical ability through to the knowledge needed to crash the World banking system, the Khan Academy really is a brilliant tool for everyone to improve their knowledge.

Motivational Monday
“Bi-pass that Monday feeling”
Here are 10 tips on avoiding the Monday Blues, you don’t have to do them all at once but try a few and see how you get on……
1. Buy something new for Monday - it doesn’t have to be big or expensive – a pen, a sketchbook, fancy post-it stickers.
2. Listen to happy songs – a tune can affect your mood. Let cheery, happy songs be the soundtrack to your Monday.
3. Plan your day in small gentle steps. Apply micro movements throughout the day. You can use a GTD system or simply divide your day into of 1/2 – 1 hour chunks with a goal for each time unit.
4. Wear your best clothes or the cheeriest colour from your wardrobe. You’d be surprise how much your clothes could affect the way you feel about yourself.
5. Complete as much work possible on Friday – you’ll have less work to worry about on Monday, which lead to the next point:
6. Choose to feel happy. If you don’t already know, being happy is a choice, so choose happiness!
7. Plan something special for Monday night – meet a friend for dinner, rent a DVD. The day will be easier when you have something to look forward to.
8. Dance - just move that body! Jog in place, stretch, do yoga. You’ll feel less lethargic.
9. Affirmative statements – Today is a great day. I will complete my report today. Stick positive messages around your monitor and take them seriously.
10. Do not get distracted. Youtube, Facebook, personal emails. Once you allow yourself to get distracted you will be sucked into hours of time-wasting activities. If you don’t have the discipline to limit your distraction to 10 minutes, don’t attempt to do it at all. Reading blogs like this is another time-sucker so now that you’ve reach the bottom of the list, why don’t you get working! :)

If you have not heard of TED then you are missing out. This really could change your life. The amount of sense that comes from TED is more than the combined output of the whole UK council and government system. For sure! Check out some of the lectures on genetics, robotics, life, the Universe, health, living, love and everything else that defines human kind. 10/10

Article 1
“Getting off to a good start”
It’s surprising how much a good start to your day can affect the way you feel and influence the rest of your week. Here are some simple tips you can use that will help you motivate your Monday mornings.
Early Start – bad things happen when your late and we all hate the rushing around feeling of trying to get to work on time and walking in though the door of the office 5 minutes late. You notice the sneaky eyes of your colleges or management looking to their watches or phones to see how late you are….grrrrrr….So get up an hour earlier and just see how it affects your day. Take your time and make a nice breakfast, try and eat something healthy? Wear your best, when you dress good you feel good. Your clothes reflect your personality, wear the cheeriest of outfits from your wardrobe, you’ll be surprised how much your this could affect the way you feel about yourself.
For the above to work it will need a little bit of organising. Have everything ready the night before, get your clothes, your files, documents, laptop ready and laid out for you in the morning. Saving a few minutes will save you time, so you can concentrate on more important things.
Now you look good and feel good, enjoy your day.
