And so it begins.  Organising a seminar open to the public seems daunting in itself, added to that the fact that we must arrange for three film industry professionals to come in and talk to us seems insane.  Perhaps we are thinking too high up the ladder to begin with though.  Names like George Miller, Baz Lurhman and even Geoffrey Rush are being tossed around, and I’ve somehow been assigned to reach out to them.

The roles for each group member appear to have fallen into place quite easily, mostly we have nominated ourselves for which section of the seminar’s production we would like to participate in, and the numbers seem to work out.  We have a big group with 14 members, though whether that is actually beneficial to us is yet to be seen.

I’m very much looking forward to witnessing the first few weeks of the seminar series, to draw on inspiration from other groups, and see how high they set the bar.  Our presentation is scheduled for Week 9 and I am still doubtful of what we can achieve in that amount of time, let alone what the poor group presenting in under two weeks time can come up with!
