We launched APEngine with the Kubrick Archive inspired films made by Animation students at the London College of Communication as a ‘live brief’ project.

As part of their latest project, LCC Animation students have made four short films for Moving House – a National Trust initiative – inspired by Khadambi Asalache’s extraordinary decoration of his house at 575 Wandsworth Road in south London. The house was created by Khadambi Asalache, a Kenyan born poet, writer, architect, mathematician and civil servant who came to England in the 1960s. He bought his South London home in 1980 and lived their until his death in 2006. The property will open to visitors in 2012.

Animator Lizzie Oxby led on the project and supported the students as they worked in groups of 6-8 to produce four animated pieces, each piece being based on one of the spaces/rooms in the house.

More information about the house and the project and links to the four films can be found at The National Trust.

Moving House is part of Stories of the World, one of the major projects at the heart of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
