TATE MOVIE or why I love Tate

THIS AN FANATSTIC PROJECT ! Congartulations , TATE !



Copy Paste from TATE's website:

The Tate Movie Project is the first of its kind – an animated movie made by and for children across the UK. Showcasing the vivid imaginations of kids, the Tate Movie Project uses great artworks to inspire 5-13 year olds nationwide to contribute their ideas to the movie. Children are creating every aspect of the film, from the hand-drawn characters and plot twists, down to costumes and comic sound effects.

On 15 July 2010 the project went live. At its heart is the Tate Movie Project website. Children are able to be involved in the whole movie making process online. When children enter the website they are welcomed by Ronnie, the animated 'Movie Director', alongside a host of other characters who will guide them through the process as they explore animation, scripting, editing and sound effects. The vast bank of material created by children over coming months will be brought together by Tate, Aardman Animations and creative agency Fallon, using the latest animation technology.

The Tate Movie Project truck took to the road in July on a national three month tour of production workshops. The truck is travelling to 55 locations across the UK, visiting primary schools, family events and festivals. The truck folds out into a state of the art creative learning studio, complete with sound studio space, computers and a screening facility, all of which can be cleared away for workshops and activities. The children will work with artists and film-makers in the truck who will deliver hundreds of production workshops.

The next stage of group activities will be workshops that take place from October 2010 – March 2011 at a network of partner galleries across the UK. Visit Roadshows on the Tate Movie Project website for full details of the truck's tour.

The finished film will be broadcast on BBC TV in mid-2011. Meanwhile, CBBC's Blue Peter will be following the real-life production process and encouraging kids to get involved.

The project has been made possible through £3million of funding from Legacy Trust UK, and will become part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. BP, as one of the Premier Partners of the Cultural Olympiad, is providing further sponsorship and practical support to the education programme underpinning the project. As well as broadcast support, BBC Learning are producing fun, accessible resources for kids and teachers alike.
