'I'm Ricky.'

0:00:020:00:04

I live in Bristol. By day, I work as an animator,

0:00:040:00:07

which is lucky, cos I love art.

0:00:070:00:10

'I live for art. I even dream of art.'

0:00:100:00:12

Ninja skills!

0:00:120:00:13

I draw...

0:00:130:00:15

I paint...

0:00:150:00:17

I make things.

0:00:170:00:20

I hang out with my mates, Gavin, Michelle,

0:00:200:00:24

Rich and Sarah.

0:00:240:00:26

Most importantly, I make ninja moves.

0:00:260:00:29

Some people call me the...

0:00:290:00:31

Today I'll show you

0:00:340:00:36

how to make a piggy bank robber,

0:00:360:00:39

make your things zing with a photogram,

0:00:390:00:42

and I do some art that's not just cool,

0:00:420:00:45

it's ice-cold.

0:00:450:00:46

Because today it's...

0:00:480:00:50

GONG BONGS

0:00:500:00:51

HE YAWNS

0:00:550:00:57

It's a new day, time to get my ninja on...

0:00:570:01:00

and my clothes.

0:01:000:01:02

Hey, a parcel.

0:01:150:01:18

Hope it's not something valuable.

0:01:180:01:21

Wow! A diamond ring.

0:01:210:01:24

There must be some kind of a mistake.

0:01:240:01:27

"You've got my diamond ring.

0:01:280:01:32

"I need it back...

0:01:320:01:36

"..urgently or else."

0:01:360:01:38

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS

0:01:380:01:41

Not only does this guy write in short sentences -

0:01:430:01:46

I think he has a short temper.

0:01:460:01:49

Maybe he's out after a long prison sentence for diamond robbery.

0:01:490:01:52

I best lie low and avoid that door.

0:01:540:01:57

I need to stay safe and keep THIS safe

0:02:000:02:03

until I decide what to do with it.

0:02:030:02:05

I've got an idea where I could put it. It's...

0:02:050:02:08

the Art Ninja piggy bank robber.

0:02:080:02:11

So I've got a balloon down here -

0:02:110:02:13

it'll become the main part of the pig's body.

0:02:130:02:16

Tie that off.

0:02:200:02:22

I've got a crisp tube here, but any tube with a lid will do.

0:02:220:02:25

Now I want to cut it just over the halfway point.

0:02:250:02:28

To get my scissors in there, protect

0:02:280:02:29

my fingers with some modelling clay.

0:02:290:02:31

Poke a hole with a pencil.

0:02:310:02:33

Now I'm going to attach this to my balloon using masking tape.

0:02:400:02:43

This crisp tube is going to become the snout.

0:02:430:02:47

Next, I'm going to make it some legs, or trotters.

0:02:470:02:49

I'm using an old egg box.

0:02:490:02:52

These make perfect little trotters.

0:02:520:02:54

There you go.

0:02:570:02:59

Now I'm going to tape those onto the balloon.

0:02:590:03:01

It doesn't need to be super-tidy -

0:03:010:03:03

I'm going to papier-mache this in a moment anyway.

0:03:030:03:06

Now I'm going to use the top part of this box here.

0:03:060:03:08

I'm going to draw some nice, little, pointy piggy ears.

0:03:080:03:11

I'm adding a little bit extra at the bottom, and that's going

0:03:110:03:14

to become flaps so it's easier to stick it to the balloon.

0:03:140:03:17

Now I'm just going to cut some slits along this bottom flap.

0:03:190:03:22

Going to fold it slightly to give the ear a little curve -

0:03:220:03:25

makes them look more authentic.

0:03:250:03:27

Stick them on with some masking tape.

0:03:280:03:31

There you go, he's looking pretty good.

0:03:310:03:33

The whole structure of the pig's there,

0:03:330:03:35

and I'll give it a nice layer of papier-mache.

0:03:350:03:38

So I've got some glue and water mix here.

0:03:380:03:41

It's three parts PVA and one part water.

0:03:410:03:43

I've cut my newspaper up into tiny pieces,

0:03:430:03:45

just makes covering the whole thing up a lot easier.

0:03:450:03:47

If you're doing this at home,

0:03:470:03:49

remember to put some newspaper down to protect the table.

0:03:490:03:52

I'm doing quite a few layers here

0:03:520:03:53

cos I need the piggy bank to be very strong.

0:03:530:03:56

There you go. I've done lots of layers of the papier-mache.

0:04:040:04:07

Now I could wait for that to dry,

0:04:070:04:09

or I could use my ninja skills.

0:04:090:04:12

Check it out. I've also given it a lovely white undercoat.

0:04:120:04:15

Time to pop the balloon on the inside.

0:04:160:04:18

Now I need to make a hole for my coins to go in.

0:04:180:04:21

I'm going to start off with a sharp pencil and a book.

0:04:210:04:24

I'm just going to lightly hammer it in.

0:04:240:04:27

There we go. And I'm going to make another hole at the back,

0:04:270:04:30

and that's going to be for the tail.

0:04:300:04:33

Now I've got this hole here, I can cut a nice slot for my coins.

0:04:330:04:36

Make sure your slot is big enough for your largest coin.

0:04:360:04:39

There we go. Now I can start putting on my design.

0:04:390:04:42

Mine, of course, is a bank robber.

0:04:420:04:45

I'm using pencil because pen will show through when I paint it.

0:04:450:04:48

There's one of his eyes,

0:04:480:04:50

and this bit here is going to be the mask to hide his identity.

0:04:500:04:54

Cheeky grin,

0:04:540:04:56

and I'm going to give him a stripy top.

0:04:560:04:59

Now I've got a great guide, I can start painting it.

0:05:010:05:04

I'm going to start with his mask -

0:05:040:05:07

I'm going to use black for that.

0:05:070:05:08

Now I'm going to move on to his stripy top -

0:05:150:05:18

I'm going to do that purple and white.

0:05:180:05:20

Couple of bits round his trotters here.

0:05:220:05:25

Looking really good so far.

0:05:250:05:27

I'm using light pink to paint his face and his bottom,

0:05:270:05:30

and I'm going to come back with a darker pink

0:05:300:05:32

to do some little details.

0:05:320:05:34

Now, carefully, I'm going to add some highlights to the eyes.

0:05:430:05:46

Now I'm going to add a piggy tail with a pink pipe cleaner.

0:05:480:05:52

Just going to wrap it round a pencil to make it nice and curly.

0:05:520:05:55

I've left a little bit straight

0:05:550:05:56

so I can push it into the hole I've made in his bottom.

0:05:560:05:58

I've painted the lid from the crisp tube a dark pink -

0:05:580:06:01

that's going to be the front of the snout,

0:06:010:06:04

and now I'm going to add some finishing touches with a black pen.

0:06:040:06:07

Here's some nostrils and a cheeky grin.

0:06:100:06:13

There we are - check him out.

0:06:150:06:17

OINK! OINK!

0:06:170:06:19

Let's put a couple of coins in him,

0:06:190:06:21

and, of course, you get them out by taking off the lid.

0:06:210:06:24

But if you think a bank robber's a little bit too hammy,

0:06:270:06:30

why not try one of these designs?

0:06:300:06:33

A pirate, a clown,

0:06:330:06:35

or even a baby.

0:06:350:06:37

KNOCKING AT DOOR

0:06:370:06:38

The door.

0:06:380:06:40

Maybe it's the scary man come back for his diamond.

0:06:400:06:43

Oh, phew! Sarah, am I relieved to see you.

0:06:480:06:52

I don't know, Ricky. Are you?

0:06:520:06:54

-Yeah.

-And what's that sparkling behind your back?

0:06:540:06:58

-Nothing.

-Come on, you can show me.

0:06:580:07:00

-Nothing there.

-Come on!

-I can't.

-Show me.

-No.

-Come on!

0:07:000:07:02

Come on!

0:07:020:07:03

SHE GRUNTS, GASPS

0:07:030:07:05

WEDDING MARCH PLAYS

0:07:050:07:07

HE GASPS

0:07:070:07:08

Sorry, Ricky. I didn't know you were...

0:07:100:07:12

Great, that's amazing news!

0:07:140:07:15

Bye, I've got to go.

0:07:150:07:17

Look what you've done now.

0:07:170:07:19

SHE SIGHS

0:07:190:07:21

That didn't look...?

0:07:210:07:22

He wouldn't have thought that...?

0:07:220:07:24

With Sarah?

0:07:240:07:26

Nah.

0:07:260:07:27

Here's a quick art tip

0:07:290:07:31

of how to draw a treasure chest.

0:07:310:07:33

So I'm going to start with my chest bottom.

0:07:330:07:37

Nice big old-fashioned chest,

0:07:370:07:39

maybe some cast-iron bars going across it...

0:07:390:07:42

..and a couple of dots as bolts.

0:07:440:07:47

And then a nice, big lock here.

0:07:470:07:48

Now inside the chest, I'm going to do a cloud,

0:07:500:07:53

and that's going to be my heaped pile of treasure.

0:07:530:07:56

Now for the lid - a line across,

0:07:560:07:58

and a slightly-rounded shape on the top.

0:07:580:08:01

And some lines to add some perspective.

0:08:030:08:06

Now I'm going to decorate my pile of treasure.

0:08:070:08:10

So let's put some gems in there -

0:08:100:08:12

maybe a diamond.

0:08:120:08:13

How about a nice crown?

0:08:160:08:18

Then some coins.

0:08:200:08:22

And some lines to make it look like the treasure is shining.

0:08:260:08:30

There you go - quick art tip.

0:08:320:08:34

Why don't YOU make some art to treasure?

0:08:380:08:40

PARROT SQUAWKS

0:08:420:08:44

All that business with the diamond ring

0:08:470:08:48

and the scary man has sent a shiver right down my spine.

0:08:480:08:51

Really, if I had an X-ray, I think you'd be able to see it.

0:08:510:08:55

That gives me an idea for some art.

0:08:550:08:57

Not so much an X-ray -

0:08:570:08:59

maybe I can make my own version of a photogram picture.

0:08:590:09:03

Don't worry, all will become clear.

0:09:030:09:05

Let me just grab some interesting objects.

0:09:050:09:07

Right, so I've got myself a watch,

0:09:090:09:12

some headphones,

0:09:120:09:13

a pen,

0:09:130:09:15

some keys, an old phone charger,

0:09:150:09:18

a banana and some cool shades.

0:09:180:09:20

I'm going to get some nice coloured paper,

0:09:220:09:24

and I'm going to draw around these items.

0:09:240:09:26

Let's start with yellow.

0:09:260:09:28

I'm going to start drawing round

0:09:280:09:29

the banana, seeing as we've got the yellow out.

0:09:290:09:32

A photogram is a form of art made popular by American artist

0:09:320:09:35

Man Ray.

0:09:350:09:37

Did somebody call my name?

0:09:380:09:40

Hey, Man.

0:09:400:09:41

Man Ray, to be precise.

0:09:410:09:44

I beg your pardon, Ray.

0:09:440:09:45

I'm actually appearing as a photogram,

0:09:450:09:47

one of my favourite forms of art.

0:09:470:09:50

It's a photo made without a camera.

0:09:500:09:52

I put objects onto photographic paper and then expose them to light.

0:09:520:09:56

It makes a negative shadow.

0:09:560:09:58

Now would you mind disappearing into the shadows

0:09:580:10:01

so I can have a go at making my own version?

0:10:010:10:03

It's becoming very transparent that I'm not needed here.

0:10:030:10:07

See you later, Man...

0:10:070:10:08

Ray.

0:10:080:10:09

So Man Ray liked to call his photograms "Rayographs",

0:10:120:10:15

but I'm going to have a go at my very own "Rickograph".

0:10:150:10:18

I'm not going to be using photographic paper, though,

0:10:180:10:21

so I'm going full-colour.

0:10:210:10:23

Cool, banana's done.

0:10:230:10:25

I think I'm going to use this cable next.

0:10:250:10:28

Now remember, you can draw around whatever you like.

0:10:290:10:31

That's cool.

0:10:310:10:32

I'll move onto the green.

0:10:320:10:34

The reason I'm using a mechanical pencil is cos you can click

0:10:350:10:38

the lead out so it's a long thin piece, and then use it to get

0:10:380:10:41

in all the nooks and crannies on smaller items, like keys.

0:10:410:10:45

Once I've drawn all around these objects, I'm going to cut them out

0:10:500:10:53

and make a picture that will cheer up even Man Ray.

0:10:530:10:56

I'm going to start by cutting out the banana.

0:10:580:11:00

There you go - nice banana cut out.

0:11:030:11:04

You'll need to cut the rest out, but not me,

0:11:040:11:07

cos I'm a ninja.

0:11:070:11:09

There we are. Good stuff.

0:11:090:11:10

Let me grab myself a piece of black card,

0:11:100:11:14

cos it'll give the colours great contrast,

0:11:140:11:16

and they'll really pop out.

0:11:160:11:18

Now I'm going to arrange them into a composition that I'm happy with.

0:11:180:11:21

Put this pen pointed back into the centre.

0:11:230:11:26

Now I'm going to stick them down.

0:11:260:11:28

This is looking good but to finish it off,

0:11:380:11:40

I'm going to give it a nice frame.

0:11:400:11:42

Awesome! My very own Rickograph.

0:11:430:11:45

Remember, when you do your photogram,

0:11:530:11:55

you can use any colour and draw around any object you like.

0:11:550:11:59

KNOCKING AT DOOR

0:12:050:12:07

WHIMPERS: The diamond ring. The scary man behind the door...

0:12:070:12:10

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC

0:12:120:12:14

Oh, phew!

0:12:170:12:19

Gav, I'm so happy it's you.

0:12:190:12:21

Wow, I'm touched. You've never said THAT before.

0:12:210:12:24

Well, I was worried it was the scary man that's after this.

0:12:240:12:27

Whoa, Ricky! Let me take a closer look at that.

0:12:270:12:30

It's the perfect fit.

0:12:320:12:33

Now take it off, or you and me will both be in big trouble.

0:12:330:12:37

It's stuck. Help me, Ricky.

0:12:380:12:40

THEY GRUNT

0:12:400:12:42

I'm sorry, Gav, there's only one thing for it -

0:12:420:12:44

If we can't get it off your finger,

0:12:440:12:46

we'll have to take you to hospital, have it cut off.

0:12:460:12:48

Cut off?! But it's my favourite finger.

0:12:480:12:52

Wait there.

0:12:520:12:54

Wow. That's the most animated I've ever seen Gavin,

0:12:540:12:56

and he's a pretty lively guy.

0:12:560:12:59

This picture's pretty...

0:12:590:13:01

animated.

0:13:010:13:02

STOMACH GRUMBLES

0:13:070:13:09

Are you all right, dude?

0:13:090:13:10

I think it's something I ate.

0:13:100:13:12

Let's have a look.

0:13:120:13:14

This guy's got issues...

0:13:200:13:23

not. It's just an animation - a chalky one.

0:13:230:13:26

To make this rad little animation, you'll need...

0:13:260:13:28

A little chalkboard,

0:13:280:13:30

some coloured chalk, a friendly friend,

0:13:300:13:33

and a tablet with animation app.

0:13:330:13:34

There's plenty of these animation apps available online,

0:13:340:13:37

so just find one that you like.

0:13:370:13:39

And you can put it together in just three ninja moves.

0:13:390:13:42

Ninja move number one.

0:13:420:13:44

Plan out your animation.

0:13:440:13:45

I'm going to be using my magic chalkboard

0:13:450:13:47

to look inside of Andre's body.

0:13:470:13:49

Now you can use your chalkboard to look inside machines,

0:13:490:13:51

through walls - anything your imagination can muster.

0:13:510:13:54

Ninja move number two.

0:13:540:13:56

The next thing you need to do is set up your tablet app

0:13:560:13:58

ready for animation.

0:13:580:13:59

There's not a lot to set up here.

0:13:590:14:01

Once you've decided what you're animating,

0:14:010:14:03

you can get on with it.

0:14:030:14:04

Every time I take a new frame, I need to wipe off the old one,

0:14:150:14:18

and for that, I'm just using a damp cloth.

0:14:180:14:19

Now this is the problem, cos I need a guide to animate to.

0:14:190:14:22

For this, I'm going to be using a tool that you've probably

0:14:220:14:25

heard of before called onion skinning.

0:14:250:14:27

Erm...

0:14:270:14:28

what is onion skinning?

0:14:280:14:30

Well, onion skinning means you can see the

0:14:300:14:33

-previous frame before you draw your next one.

-Ah, OK.

0:14:330:14:37

Ninja move number three.

0:14:370:14:38

There's two parts to this animation.

0:14:380:14:40

There's not just the animation on the chalkboard,

0:14:400:14:43

we have an animation model, as well.

0:14:430:14:45

Gnarly to the max.

0:14:450:14:46

So I need to animate Andre to react to the stuff that's

0:14:460:14:49

happening on the chalkboard.

0:14:490:14:50

I think it's time to take a look at our mini-masterpiece.

0:14:540:14:57

Great stuff.

0:14:570:14:58

Get yourself a chalkboard, some chalk, a friend and a tablet,

0:14:580:15:01

and have a go yourself.

0:15:010:15:03

Ninja skills!

0:15:030:15:04

I'd better get some help for Gavin -

0:15:090:15:11

he's going to do himself an injury trying to get that ring off.

0:15:110:15:13

PHONE RINGS

0:15:130:15:15

-ON PHONE:

-'Hi, Ricky, it's your mum.

0:15:150:15:17

-'Just giving you a ring.'

-Not you as well.

0:15:170:15:20

'I wanted to say Dad's told me yours and Sarah's special news!

0:15:200:15:24

'Congratulations!

0:15:240:15:26

'I have to get a hat. So much to plan.

0:15:260:15:30

'Your plans are nearly foiled by the ninja apprentices,

0:15:300:15:34

'you have an unwelcome visitor who brings the bling,

0:15:340:15:37

'and it's ICE to see you getting stuck into some super-cool art.'

0:15:370:15:42

How does she know all this?

0:15:420:15:44

'Anyway, I've got to go, and you'd best choose a best man...

0:15:440:15:47

'guess it'll be Gavin!'

0:15:470:15:49

-POP!

-Yes!

0:15:490:15:51

-Oh, no.

-Can't believe I'm going to be your best man.

0:15:510:15:54

Can't wait to tell my mum the good news. Bye, Ricks.

0:15:540:15:57

Could this day get any worse?

0:15:590:16:01

-BOTH:

-Hi, Ricky!

0:16:010:16:02

Hey, it's Lauren and Mark from the Dengineers.

0:16:020:16:04

How about making something with...?

0:16:040:16:07

A broken broom?

0:16:070:16:08

Sorry, guys. Not this time.

0:16:080:16:10

I've DEN something with that already.

0:16:100:16:13

-BOTH:

-Ricky, Ricky, Ricky!

0:16:130:16:15

Hey, what have these guys got?

0:16:150:16:17

Ricky, can you make art with tinfoil?

0:16:170:16:19

OK, I choose you.

0:16:190:16:21

THEY CHEER

0:16:210:16:23

What are your names?

0:16:230:16:24

-Hi, I'm Naimh.

-Hi, I'm Jack.

0:16:240:16:26

Nice to meet you, Naimh and Jack. Where are you from?

0:16:260:16:29

-BOTH:

-Belfast.

0:16:290:16:30

All right. I'll just go and grab my things.

0:16:300:16:32

OK, here we are.

0:16:320:16:34

Got my trusty tinfoil.

0:16:340:16:36

What are you going to make, Ricky?

0:16:360:16:38

I think I'm going to make an owl, and I'll show you how.

0:16:380:16:40

Cool.

0:16:400:16:41

I'm going to start by covering my piece of cardboard in glue.

0:16:410:16:44

Do you guys like owls?

0:16:450:16:47

I like the way they can turn their head around.

0:16:470:16:49

Hopefully this'll help you make some head-turning art.

0:16:490:16:52

Right, now I'm going to take the foil and I'm going to stick it

0:16:520:16:54

over my piece of cardboard, and I'm going to keep the shiny side up.

0:16:540:16:58

There you go.

0:17:020:17:03

Put a little bit of glue on the back, just to stick down the edges.

0:17:030:17:06

OK, so I've got my reflective surface now,

0:17:090:17:11

and I'm going to use that to sketch the drawing of my owl onto.

0:17:110:17:14

What I'm doing now is, I'm pressing into the foil

0:17:160:17:18

on the cardboard with a pencil, kind of creating a relief picture.

0:17:180:17:21

Just finishing the outline here.

0:17:210:17:23

Now I'm going to glue string along the lines to add extra detail -

0:17:230:17:26

make it look really 3-D.

0:17:260:17:28

Now I'm going to use a brush here, just because you get a finer line.

0:17:280:17:31

It's a little bit fiddly, but I'm just going along

0:17:370:17:39

and gluing string along the lines that I've drawn with the pencil.

0:17:390:17:42

So what would you call an owl, if you had one?

0:17:420:17:44

I would probably call mine Sir Hoots-a-lot.

0:17:440:17:48

Sir Hoots-a-lot? Yeah, that makes sense.

0:17:480:17:51

The tootsies done.

0:17:520:17:54

Finally, I'm going to put in Sir Hoots-a-lot's beak.

0:17:540:17:58

I'd like to point out that Sir Hoots-a-lot's

0:17:580:18:00

first name is Sandra.

0:18:000:18:02

So I need to cover this picture again in another layer of foil.

0:18:020:18:05

Now I can wait for it to dry, or I could use some ninja skills.

0:18:050:18:08

-What do you reckon? BOTH:

-Use the ninja skills.

0:18:080:18:11

Ninja skills it is.

0:18:110:18:12

WHOOSH! Ninja skills!

0:18:120:18:15

Now it's ready for another layer of foil.

0:18:150:18:17

So I'm just going to start pasting on the PVA glue again.

0:18:170:18:20

Now I can put over my second layer of foil.

0:18:230:18:25

Using my fingers,

0:18:280:18:29

I'm just going to push the foil into all of the gaps, and as I'm pushing

0:18:290:18:32

down on the string, the picture's starting to appear through the foil.

0:18:320:18:35

And then to get into the tighter nooks and crannies,

0:18:360:18:38

just going to use a cotton bud.

0:18:380:18:41

The reason I've done two layers is so if I accidentally tear

0:18:410:18:44

this layer of foil, it still looks good underneath.

0:18:440:18:47

Right, I've pushed in all the gaps that I can now,

0:18:470:18:49

and I'm going to add a little bit more detail with a pencil.

0:18:490:18:52

I think I'm going to give him nice feathers on his belly.

0:18:520:18:55

Now I've got two layers of foil on here,

0:18:550:18:57

this pencil's leaving really nice lines.

0:18:570:18:59

I'm going to put a little bit of detail on the face now.

0:18:590:19:02

There we are. I think it's ready for a final finishing touch.

0:19:030:19:06

I've got some black boot polish here,

0:19:070:19:09

and with a piece of tissue,

0:19:090:19:11

I'm going to rub it all into the gaps and the grooves that I've made.

0:19:110:19:14

So the boot polish is accentuating all the detail that I've made.

0:19:180:19:21

In some of the areas where the foil is ripped

0:19:210:19:23

and you can get through to the string, it's really thick

0:19:230:19:26

and black, and it gives it a nice bit of contrast across the picture.

0:19:260:19:29

All right, I think that's it.

0:19:290:19:31

You guys ready to see it?

0:19:310:19:32

-BOTH:

-Yes.

0:19:320:19:34

What do you think of this?

0:19:340:19:35

-It's amazing, Ricky.

-Well done.

0:19:360:19:38

What would you give it out of ten?

0:19:380:19:40

-BOTH:

-It's a ten!

0:19:400:19:43

OWL accept that score.

0:19:430:19:45

I think it's so good, it deserves a frame.

0:19:450:19:48

There we are.

0:19:480:19:50

Thanks for your suggestion, guys. You've been brilliant.

0:19:500:19:52

-BOTH:

-Bye!

0:19:520:19:54

OWL HOOTS

0:19:570:19:58

'Hey, you there.

0:20:000:20:01

'Do you like bling as much as me?'

0:20:010:20:04

It's another scary man about a diamond.

0:20:040:20:06

'Now you can make bling your thing with rock salt jewellery...

0:20:060:20:11

'..and here's how you make it.

0:20:160:20:19

'You'll need a bowl

0:20:200:20:23

'and some rock salt.

0:20:230:20:26

'Pour a heaped teaspoon into the bowl.

0:20:270:20:30

'Now get some paint.

0:20:300:20:32

'Put in a pea-sized amount.

0:20:320:20:34

'Now take some PVA glue.

0:20:340:20:37

'Add some to your mixture -

0:20:380:20:39

'about a teaspoon.

0:20:390:20:41

'Now stir.

0:20:430:20:45

'Now take some clingfilm.

0:20:510:20:53

'Now pour your mixture into the clingfilm.

0:20:560:20:59

'Don't be blue - enjoy it.

0:21:020:21:05

'And use the clingfilm to mould into your desired shape.

0:21:070:21:11

'There. Leave it to dry overnight.'

0:21:140:21:16

COCKEREL CROWS

0:21:200:21:22

'Good morning! It's ready.

0:21:220:21:26

'Unwrap your rock.

0:21:260:21:28

'Mesmerising.

0:21:280:21:30

'It dries lighter overnight.

0:21:300:21:32

'Now grab a ring base...

0:21:330:21:35

'..available in all good craft shops.

0:21:360:21:39

'Get some strong glue

0:21:400:21:43

'and stick your rock on top.

0:21:430:21:45

'That should do it.

0:21:470:21:49

'Stick your rock to your ring base.

0:21:490:21:52

'Sparkly!

0:21:550:21:56

'Check out THAT rock.'

0:21:580:21:59

KNOCKING AT DOOR

0:21:590:22:02

Oh, no - that angry man again.

0:22:020:22:04

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC

0:22:040:22:06

KNOCKING AT DOOR

0:22:060:22:07

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES

0:22:200:22:23

The coast is clear. I'm going to get out while the going's good.

0:22:290:22:33

Ninja skills!

0:22:390:22:40

I think I'm far enough away.

0:22:410:22:43

That diamond bloke will never find me here,

0:22:430:22:45

but all this skateboarding has made me so thirsty.

0:22:450:22:47

Oh, cheers.

0:22:470:22:50

-What, no ice?

-How about that?

0:22:500:22:52

Hang on, who are you?

0:22:530:22:54

I'm Jamie, and I'm an ice sculptor.

0:22:540:22:56

Pleased to meet you.

0:22:560:22:58

Hey, all this ice gives me an idea for some cool art.

0:22:580:23:00

But first...

0:23:000:23:02

we'd better get our ninja on.

0:23:020:23:03

Art Ninja!

0:23:090:23:11

-(Strike a pose.)

-Art Ninja?

0:23:110:23:14

OK, so here we are - this is where we make our ice.

0:23:180:23:20

Can we make an ice sculpture

0:23:250:23:27

inspired by this diamond ring?

0:23:270:23:29

Yeah, I think so.

0:23:290:23:30

Awesome. Well, where do we start?

0:23:300:23:33

-Let's go into our studio.

-OK, cool.

0:23:330:23:35

CHAINSAW WHIRS

0:23:380:23:40

Wow! That looks pretty serious.

0:23:400:23:42

In all my years of Art Ninja-ing, I've never had to make art

0:23:420:23:45

-with a chainsaw.

-Well, this is the best way to cut ice.

0:23:450:23:47

Jamie's an expert with a chainsaw, but don't be using one at home.

0:23:470:23:51

While Jamie cuts the ice down to size, I'm going to make a template.

0:23:540:23:58

Most people draw themselves a template, but not me,

0:23:580:24:01

because I'm a ninja.

0:24:010:24:02

Ice cold ninja skills.

0:24:060:24:09

Hey, Jamie, here's my template. So what's next?

0:24:090:24:11

OK, we're going to stick this to this piece of ice

0:24:110:24:13

so that we can cut it out.

0:24:130:24:15

That's good.

0:24:190:24:20

'More sharp tools.

0:24:200:24:22

'This is a band saw and, no,

0:24:220:24:23

'don't be using this either.'

0:24:230:24:25

OK, so now we've got a much thicker piece of ice,

0:24:260:24:28

which we're going to make the diamond out of.

0:24:280:24:31

MACHINE WHIRS

0:24:310:24:33

OK, so we're going to sculpt the diamond.

0:24:380:24:40

All right.

0:24:400:24:42

'With Jamie's help, I'm marking out bits of the ice which

0:24:430:24:45

'need carving to make our diamond.'

0:24:450:24:47

How long would this normally take you?

0:24:510:24:53

Oh, I could do that in a couple of minutes probably, Ricky.

0:24:530:24:56

Excellent.

0:25:000:25:01

Now that looks really good.

0:25:010:25:02

So now what we want to do is make

0:25:020:25:04

it look really polished and glassy,

0:25:040:25:06

so we use this hotplate here which is in hot water,

0:25:060:25:10

and that will just polish out all those little saw marks.

0:25:100:25:13

Wow, it just suddenly becomes totally crystal clear, doesn't it?

0:25:170:25:20

It allows the light through it,

0:25:200:25:22

and suddenly the whole thing's transformed.

0:25:220:25:25

-It really looks bling now, doesn't it?

-It does.

0:25:330:25:36

OK. So now what?

0:25:380:25:39

Now we need to make the ring for the diamond.

0:25:390:25:41

OK, so this is the base of our ice sculpture

0:25:420:25:45

and we can position our ring on top of this.

0:25:450:25:47

So we've got to get this in exactly the right spot,

0:25:470:25:49

and then you need to line up

0:25:490:25:52

the other section of the ring.

0:25:520:25:54

-OK.

-That looks good to me.

0:25:540:25:57

-There we are. Just got to plonk our diamond in.

-Exactly.

0:25:570:26:00

Now that's one sparkly rock.

0:26:060:26:09

I'm pretty wedded to ice sculpture.

0:26:090:26:10

Good work, Jamie.

0:26:100:26:12

Now I just need to go and give

0:26:140:26:15

that small ring back to that scary diamond bloke.

0:26:150:26:18

Now where did I put it?

0:26:180:26:20

Oh, no.

0:26:220:26:24

Yikes! It's frozen solid.

0:26:280:26:30

PHONE RINGS

0:26:320:26:34

Oh, it's just Gav. Hi, Gav.

0:26:340:26:36

-ON PHONE:

-'Hi, Ricky.

0:26:360:26:38

'I'm here with a man that says you have his diamond ring.

0:26:380:26:40

'He wants it back right now.

0:26:400:26:42

'I'm sending him down to you. Bye!'

0:26:420:26:44

HE EXHALES

0:26:440:26:46

The guy's going to lump me.

0:26:460:26:47

I think you might need this hairdryer.

0:26:470:26:50

HE GROANS

0:26:500:26:52

This is going to take me ages.

0:26:520:26:54

I gave the scary guy his ring back, by the way,

0:26:590:27:02

and he wasn't what I expected -

0:27:020:27:04

check him out.

0:27:040:27:05

I know!

0:27:050:27:07

He was supposed to deliver it to somebody,

0:27:070:27:09

but posted it through my door by mistake.

0:27:090:27:12

Today has taught me a valuable Art Ninja lesson -

0:27:120:27:15

if something feels scary, then do something nice,

0:27:150:27:18

some really cool art that's made out of ice.

0:27:180:27:21

So everything got sorted in the end.

0:27:210:27:24

'Hey, Ricks, congratulations on your great news -

0:27:300:27:32

'we can't wait for the big day!'

0:27:320:27:34

THEY CHEER AND HOOT

0:27:340:27:38

HE SCREAMS
