Who killed the cat?

Thank goodness for sausage sandwiches. We made good use of them mopping our sweaty brows last Wednesday, eagerly anticipating *in mind numbing fear* our Platform agency presentation.
We kept things short and sweet, mainly discussing a little background about each of us through the use of choice project examples.
Karl Sadler was up first and gave us a little background basically through the medium of some documentaries taken from his projects for Vice/Intel's Creators Project event in London this summer.
It's W+K tradition for new starters to reveal a secret about themselves;
Karl's was, despite being a professional animator and compositor, that he is significantly colour-blind.
Sitraka was up next, demonstrating his exo skeletal brain conditioning tools to catch flies with chopsticks. I think possibly more disturbing than the sight of an arm being strapped into a Meccano set was his secret that when he was a child he killed a cat with a hammer.
Andrew Friend, a charming fellow who pleasures himself with fantastical architecture, prompting emotional connections to space and nature, through devices that electrocute the fuck out of you with lightning. Awesome storyteller, but his secret was that in fact the burn marks on his arm were caused from an exploding gas canister rather than his lightning rod.
Gerard pulls up a chair, sits down; "It's too early for me". Taking things in his stride, he discusses and demonstrates his expressions despatcher which, if anyone wishes to have a go first hand, is in our hackspace. Gerard has a thing for Lady Ga Ga.
Rich & Keivor only recently started collaborating together. Apparently they're into standing under waterfalls and blowing their balls with air-mattress inflators amongst other techy contraptions. Rich also likes kicking sausage dogs and Keivor secretly left a kitten under Sitraka's desk.
We rounded off the presentation with a montage we felt inspired us as forward-thinking, post-digital renaissance men.
