Dead Duck Ideas: Exercises in Humility
http://benmitchellblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/exercises-in-humility.html
Friday, 6 February 2015. This week on Skwigly. I have an interview with Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre. A kindred spirit in the sense that she makes animation documentaries, albeit with more of a creative spin. Working with the NFB. And notably influenced by Norman McLaren, she's made the multi-award-winning McLaren's Negatives. And last year's Jutra. Among others. She has a brilliant style and interesting process, you can learn more by giving the interview a read here:. Interview with Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre.

Dead Duck Ideas: Northern Exposure
http://benmitchellblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/northern-exposure.html
Tuesday, 17 March 2015. It's another busy period with little blogging time available; I'm currently hard at work cackhandedly educating today's youth working on some more science-ey films. While alternately hard at work cackhandedly educating today's not-so-youthful youth putting Project Group Hug. Together, the next milestone deadline for which is the beginning of April. So between the two I'll be radio silent for the rest of the month. In the meantime check out a video interview with NFB. Produce/prese...

Dead Duck Ideas: You had me at "I'd like to peel your skin off"
http://benmitchellblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/you-had-me-at-id-like-to-peel-your-skin.html
Monday, 11 May 2015. You had me at "I'd like to peel your skin off". Today's reason to be rock-back-and-forth-giggling-and-crying happy comes in the form of Faith No More. S latest album Sol Invictus. Than anything else, but in the meantime why not join me and treat yourselves. It feels a bit limp and embarrassing to bring up my own music on the heels of such excellence, but in anticipation of the digital release of my latest Struwwelpeter. I've put up another new song.

Dead Duck Ideas: Club Life
http://benmitchellblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/club-life.html
Friday, 10 April 2015. So both the chances of new Twin Peaks. Opie and Anthony ever getting back together. Have seemingly gone up in smoke over one Easter break. Good going, bunny-Jesus. If anything happens to The Scarlet Gospels. Before May I'll have pretty much no more cultural interests left. Well, there's the old ball-and-chain of animation, I suppose. Although on some fronts things are without a paddle. Around 7:30pm this coming Tuesday (14th) for the London Animation Club. View my complete profile.

Monday, 2 March 2015. First things first - Radio 1 debuted. S new single 'Superhero'. Last night. This is the one I've been most vocal about being on tenterhooks to hear - having been at its first ever live performance. Last year - and it's so unbelievably goddamn great the English language frankly comes up pathetically short when it comes to existing adjectives that might describe how utterly elated I am. Their new LP Sol Invictus. When my old O&A/ Jim Norton. Short (the dancing chicken. Produce/present...
