BFI NETWORK Midlands
Supporting writers, directors and producers across the Midlands. Part of @filmhubmidlands and @BFINETWORK.

Calling writers working in animation!
Four BFI NETWORK Hubs (@filmhubsw, @filmhubnorth, @networkfhm, @networkfhse) have teamed up with ScreenSkills Animation Fund (@uk_screenskills) to create this new lab for writers to develop, experiment and expand their skills and understanding of storytelling in animation.
The lab will support up to 12 early-career writers already working in animation, or with the ambition to write for animation. With a range of speakers and masterclasses on subjects such as structure, collaboration and audience, the lab will offer tangible and practical insights to the exciting visual potential of animation storytelling. Applicants must apply with a short film idea, and selected writers will then work with a script editor to develop it during the lab.
The lab will run from Mon 29 June to Wed 30 Sep. The lab will take place mostly online with one in-person day at Aardman in Bristol (reasonable travel expenses will be covered). Applications are now open and will close on Mon 11 May. Find out more through the link in our bio.

Instagram Story Viewer to proste narzędzie, które pozwala na ciche oglądanie i zapisywanie historii Instagram, filmów, zdjęć lub IGTV. Dzięki tej usłudze możesz pobrać zawartość i cieszyć się nią offline, kiedy chcesz. Jeśli znajdziesz coś interesującego na Instagramie, co chcesz sprawdzić później, lub chcesz oglądać historie pozostając anonimowym, nasz Viewer jest idealny dla Ciebie. Anonstories oferuje doskonałe rozwiązanie do ukrywania swojej tożsamości. Instagram po raz pierwszy uruchomił funkcję historii w sierpniu 2023 roku, która szybko została zaadoptowana przez inne platformy ze względu na jej angażujący, czasowo ograniczony format. Historie pozwalają użytkownikom dzielić się szybkimi aktualizacjami, czy to zdjęciami, filmami, czy selfie, wzbogaconymi o tekst, emotikony lub filtry, i są widoczne tylko przez 24 godziny. Ten ograniczony czas sprawia, że historie cieszą się dużym zaangażowaniem w porównaniu do zwykłych postów. W dzisiejszym świecie historie to jeden z najpopularniejszych sposobów komunikacji na mediach społecznościowych. Jednak gdy oglądasz historię, twórca może zobaczyć Twoje imię na liście oglądających, co może stanowić problem związany z prywatnością. Co jeśli chcesz przeglądać historie, nie będąc zauważonym? Tutaj Anonstories staje się przydatne. Umożliwia oglądanie publicznej zawartości Instagram bez ujawniania tożsamości. Wystarczy wpisać nazwę użytkownika profilu, który Cię interesuje, a narzędzie wyświetli ich najnowsze historie. Cechy Anonstories Viewer: - Anonimowe przeglądanie: Oglądaj historie bez pojawiania się na liście oglądających. - Brak konta: Oglądaj publiczną zawartość bez logowania się na konto Instagram. - Pobieranie zawartości: Zapisuj dowolną zawartość historii bezpośrednio na swoje urządzenie do użytku offline. - Przeglądaj najważniejsze: Dostęp do Instagram Highlights, nawet po 24 godzinach. - Monitorowanie repostów: Śledź reposty lub poziom zaangażowania w historię na prywatnych profilach. Ograniczenia: - Narzędzie działa tylko z publicznymi kontami; konta prywatne pozostają niedostępne. Korzyści: - Przyjazne dla prywatności: Oglądaj zawartość Instagram bez bycia zauważonym. - Proste i łatwe: Brak potrzeby instalacji aplikacji lub rejestracji. - Ekskluzywne narzędzia: Pobieraj i zarządzaj zawartością w sposób, którego Instagram nie oferuje.
Śledź aktualizacje na Instagramie dyskretnie, chroniąc swoją prywatność i pozostając anonimowym.
Oglądaj profile i zdjęcia anonimowo za pomocą Prywatnego Viewera.
To darmowe narzędzie pozwala oglądać historie Instagram anonimowo, zapewniając, że Twoja aktywność pozostaje ukryta przed twórcą historii.
Anonstories pozwala użytkownikom oglądać historie na Instagramie bez informowania twórcy.
Funkcjonuje płynnie na iOS, Android, Windows, macOS i nowoczesnych przeglądarkach takich jak Chrome i Safari.
Priorytetem jest bezpieczne, anonimowe przeglądanie bez konieczności logowania się.
Użytkownicy mogą oglądać publiczne historie, wpisując nazwę użytkownika – bez konieczności zakładania konta.
Pobiera zdjęcia (JPEG) i filmy (MP4) z łatwością.
Usługa jest bezpłatna.
Treści z prywatnych kont mogą być dostępne tylko dla obserwujących.
Pliki są przeznaczone do użytku osobistego lub edukacyjnego i muszą być zgodne z przepisami dotyczącymi praw autorskich.
Wpisz publiczną nazwę użytkownika, aby oglądać lub pobrać historie. Usługa generuje bezpośrednie linki do zapis
