That's right - the kooky CCau duo Mayer and Bettle are back! And this time, they have a friend.

Following on from their fabulously successful cinematic debut (http://creativecommons.org.au/animation_train), in which they introduced us all to Creative Commons, the new film (http://creativecommons.org.au/mayerandbettle2) provides a bit of an update on what has been happening in Creative Commons over the last two years, and gives us a bit more information on using the Creative Commons licences. To do this, they travel into Creative Commons world, and run into one of Bettle's fans and collaborators, Flik.

Like the previous animation, this sequel was commissioned to inform young people (mainly targeted at upper high school) about the Creative Commons licences. It was produced by the original team, with animation by Pete Foley and sound and music by Chris Perren. The project was co-ordinated by our own Elliott Bledsoe. The animation was commissioned for the QUT Smart Train, which was launched in Brisbane on last Friday, and is now on its 5 week journey around Queensland.

And the animation is, of course, available under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Australia licence, so it can be remixed and re-purposed as much as you like. To help with this, in the next few weeks we'll be uploading all the source material to our website - so keep an eye open.
