The truck has been and gone (twice!), and yes it did transform, into a multi-media village rather than optimus prime but it still is impressive. Filled to the brim with all kinds of tools to enable your creativity. Everything from Apples (Macs) to Z1s (Video Cameras), digital recorders, a TV studio, dance mats and more.

When this was combined with the creative talent of the staff and facilitators you can guarantee some truly amazing things came out of it!

If you need a little inspiration or just want to check out some of the things participants got up to during the Blast Festival in Custom House Square, Belfast, in June and at Blast on Tour at Guildhall Square, Londonderry in September.

Right now you can see what went on at the Bollywood workshop, skateboarding and bmx-ing with Belfast Urban sports, 4 short animations and 3 documentaries all made on the Blast Truck by young people just like you.

 

You can also watch the BBC Blast Festival Gig which took place on Saturday 30th June. Featuring performances from Oppenheimer, The Jane Bradfords and Superfreakz as well as up and coming bands Angelfall, Crash Pilot, Diamond Shatter. Nice 'n' Sleazy and Play the Thief.

The Festival gig was streamed live from Custom House Square. The whole gig was filmed, directed and mixed by young people who had been taking part in a Moving Image Training workshop as part of the BBC Blast Festival.

If you liked the festival gig then why not listen to the Blast Out Loud Radio show that was written, presented and produced by young people, under the watchful eye of Electric Mainline's Stephen McCauley, when the Blast Truck came to Guildhall Square.
