Friday night was the Scottish BAFTA New Talent Awards 2010. The ceremony was held in the Mitchell Theatre and had a lovely relaxed atmosphere. As nominees we felt well and truly supported by BAFTA. The picture shows the Scottish Chamber Orchestra‘s Lucy Perry, Helen Jackson of Binary Fable, and Jackie Arnott-Raymond of Front Page Design. Adam Brewster, as usual, is behind the camera.
Congratulations to May Miles Thomas, who pipped us to the Interactive award with her project The Devil’s Plantation. Thanks, May, for giving us a wee mention in your acceptance speech!
Funniest line of the evening went to Best Acting Performance winner Eric Robertson: “Finally, I’d like to thank whoever donated this suit to Oxfam”!

The Lost Book has been nominated for a second BAFTA Scotland award. This time it’s a New Talent award, in the Interactive category. Nominations were announced last night at a do in the newly-opened (and rather swanky) Blytheswood Square Hotel in Glasgow.
One of the great pleasures of the nomination event was meeting the competition – the multi-talented May Miles Thomas of Elemental Films. May’s something of a legend – she swept the board at the BAFTA Scotland New Talent awards back in 2000 with the UK’s first digital feature film One Life Stand, which also won a Scottish Screen Outstanding Achievement Award.
May’s 2009 interactive project is The Devil’s Plantation:
The idea: to explore the Secret Geometry of Glasgow and find magic in ordinary places… Dear green place or derelict dystopia?
I’m planning to spend time this week properly exploring The Devil’s Plantation as it looks fantastic – why don’t you head over there and take a look?
Here’re some fuzzy snapshots of the evening (my mobile phone camera isn’t getting any better!). Left to right, there’s me with May, Elemental Films’ producer Owen with Lost Book sound designer Stephen, and me with Stephen.
The Lost Book is an animated web series where you wrote the plot.
