Almost Easter Already?

My work placement at Boomerang seems to be going far too quickly, I can't believe I've been here over a month already. I'm still busy with the Bandit website at the moment. The new, slightly larger layout went live last week to enable more space for the new widescreen videos. There's also new gigs and news sections, and I've almost finished a flash photo gallery which should be live shortly. You can view a sneak preview of it here. I also put up some exclusive web-only live performances last week.

A couple of weeks ago, we experimented with a live Bandit chat to fill the 1 hour gap between the first and second parts of Bandit being transmitted on S4C (due to Ralio). We used Campfire to host the chat and it worked pretty well. At it's peak there were 35 'simultaneous chatters' - not huge figures but not bad for the first attempt. There is another gap in the broadcast tomorrow as well so we're hoping to try the chat out again - this time with Huw Stephens taking questions and hopefully a video webcast of him too.

I've also started work on the Boomerang site. Very early stages at the moment, but trying to get some ideas together about the design.

Alongside work at Boomerang, we've been working on a short documentary of our time spent in Kuala Lumpur. Derwen have kindly helped us by editing it for us. It's looking like it will be pretty short and sweet - about 5 minutes - and put onto DVD so that it can be used by Cyfle as a kind of showreel.
