IN MEMORIUM
Rex Beddis was essentially a humanitarian - his Sense of Place series for Key Stage 3 Geography students - published by OUP in 1981 & 1982 - placed an emphasis on the understanding of ideas rather than the memorization of facts - and was designed to open the MINDs of those that read his books such that they were awakened to the fact that we are but ONE family ever responsible for the ever changing future of this world - and in so doing the series helped to develop a wide range of skills and ideas amongst its readership
I am sure that this particular BLACK & WHITE animated interpretation of a sense and place - a 1st year animation project by Jason Roberts using Flash - would have greatly appealed to him as he imagined the story -
" flying off the page "
so to speak.
Rex left a journal composed during the final six months of his life.
In it he wrote the passages which had affected him in a profound sense & they traced his search for spiritual identity.
I would dedicate this piece of video - albeit originally created from an entirely different perspective - to Rex's search for his spiritual identity during the final six months of his life.
I find it particularly appropriate.
This service reflects this spiritual journey & uses passages
which he meditated upon, and music which he enjoyed.
In rememberance of all the splendid hours spent together with Rex -
and his vivid understanding of plate tectonics - during our involvement
with the Volcano videodisc project - on behalf of Oxford University Press.
