What a week it has been; from a guest speaker to group work, and even to Tyler and Cody doing the summary! It sure has been exciting. But that’s a little too vague.
Beginning our week we had the good fortune of having Evan Munroe-Smith as a guest speaker for our Monday seminar, elaborating on his experiences as a media practitioner. Beginning as a cinematographer then to become a practitioner running his own studio (working on such things as Sammy J’s Playground Politics, which is pretty damn nifty), Evan served as a perfect example as to how your career can take several turns, not always as expected, but usually for the better. He also told us the importance to become involved with what’s around you; volunteer, join a team, gain employment, it doesn’t matter, experience is experience.
Moving onto the workshop things came to be a bit hectic; casting, group meetings, script development, casting, storyboarding, shot lists, CASTING! It all seemed like a bit much to take it, after all, for several people it was their first time being able to explore their surroundings and scout out locations with their full team. Which was certainly lovely.
Suffice to say though, we certainly have our work cut out for us. There’s much to do and cover in the following week(s). Time to get cracking!

Remember, kids, media is magic.
