It was certainly my first attempt at commissioning anything like it, and an eye opener about how things change between being just words on a page and moving images. We've got some ideas about tweaking it, but that will have to be for next year... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182762 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 22:52:24 +0000 wingpig 182762@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My wife has been to the pub several times more times than me since we became parents. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182759 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 22:45:50 +0000 SRD 182759@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ha! I almost posted 'and no that wasn't me' after Sally's post, but then thought I was being paranoid... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182758 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 22:28:02 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 182758@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not saying the 'message' should have been 'right on', or 'challenging'. I guess it's still a sad indictment on our society that to spin the gender roles would be seen as such (that's having a go at society, not the people who made the video! I know how things can be misconstrued in text).</p> <p>"although we have had one vote for Katie's mum to go to the pub next time..."</p> <p>I think I know who that woudk have been ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182756 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 22:26:21 +0000 sallyhinch 182756@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Greenroofer - thank you! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182755 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 22:24:03 +0000 Greenroofer 182755@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@sallyhinch - totally agree. The film is already challenging one stereotype, and I think its message could have been too easily dismissed as "liberal leftie claptrap" if it had tried to challenge other stereotypes at the same time.</p> <p>I think it's just great as it is. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182752 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 22:10:21 +0000 sallyhinch 182752@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not based on a real family, specifically, but on a fairly typical one (note that Katie's mum does work part time, if you listen carefully!) TBH I worried about that myself, but in the end I decided that trying to make it too right on would distract from the general message. And we do have a *girl* as the main character, which balances things out a bit. </p> <p>Interestingly, it's mostly men who have commented on the whole 'Dad works, mum goes to the shops' aspect of it (including my own husband), while the women I've asked about it - including some quite stroppy ones - haven't been bothered, although we have had one vote for Katie's mum to go to the pub next time... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182729 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:20:55 +0000 jdanielp 182729@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm not sure that it is, but that is what I took from it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182726 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:04:34 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 182726@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aha. Didn't realise it was based on a real family. That being the case, ignore me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182725 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:01:23 +0000 jdanielp 182725@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@WC I wondered about that too, but decided that it was merely the specific circumstances of Katie's family as opposed to being any kind of implied gender stereotype. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182721 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 16:21:46 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 182721@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I actually quite like the music.</p> <p>Not so sure about the "dad needs to go to work, mum needs to take the kids to school and go for coffee with friends and shop" angle... Surprised me a little.</p> <p>Makes the points about just why this investment is needed (for health and prosperity reasons) very very well indeed though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182711 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:55:47 +0000 I were right about that saddle 182711@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The video's great. The music.....less great. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182700 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:33:13 +0000 Arellcat 182700@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like the video too.</p> <p>Some (in the far away foreign lands of vehicularist Londonshire) reckon it's promoting an agenda for removing cyclists from the road. :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182442 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 18:44:09 +0000 sallyhinch 182442@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This is what happens when you get a jazz musician to do the editing ... it's fair enough as we got it done at a bargain price. Animation is *expensive* </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182395 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:06:37 +0000 jdanielp 182395@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lovely animation (I was half-expecting a cameo from Mr. Benn during the high street sequence), although I found that the musical score was ever so slightly distracting from the narration at times due to the relative volume. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182392 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 12:52:52 +0000 Morningsider 182392@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I really like this - gets the message across beautifully. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182389 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 12:27:55 +0000 ARobComp 182389@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's going down fairly well online! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14463#post-182386 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 11:36:42 +0000 sallyhinch 182386@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hugh and Ben (who did it) had a lot of fun.
