Last weekend, I had the pleasure of the company of my oldest and very good friend, Miss Fife. Her visit came about for two reasons - I am moving to Sweden, and Miss Fife is becoming Mrs Donaldson.

So to celebrate the occasion, the weekend was spent visiting food markets, eating lots of fine food, chatting over afternoon tea, picnics in the park and a boat cruise down the thames in the company of even older friends, the Helen Lawrence and Amy Hemmings. It was really nice to hang out with Lucy, Helen and Amy together and to see how we haven’t really changed that much, only become ‘more’ of ourselves. It also brought home just how easy it is to pick up where things left off with really old friends, and how the place you grew up in, is a strong root ingredient in your friendship. The Dandelion and Burdoch of friendships.

We had some grand plans to set up a mini-cinema, as Lucy is an ultimate film buff, but due to erratic equipment, this was scaled down to watching The Eye on our 24″ iMac. In anticipation of the mini-cinema I’d decided to ‘brand’ the experience by personalising the intro sequences of 20th century fox and the classic Ppppppppppppppppppppearl & Dean.

Below is my rendition of the 20th Century Fox intro, ‘fife-i-sised’. It was made in blender, a free 3d program for the mac and pc. You’re welcome to download my blend file here, and the fox fanfare mp3 and use it to create your own intros.
