Intellectual Property Video Competition

May 7, 2011 / / Comments Off on Intellectual Property Video Competition

Hi Paul, I thought I would send you a quick email to see how you and your students were going with the Hard Sell video competition, and to pass on some inspiration and hints and tips for your students. Mick in the Marketing team has had a go at creating his own video commercial to prove that you don’t need a lot of money, equipment or time to shoot an effective 60 second commercial about Intellectual Property (IP). Mick shot his video in a weekend using only a digital camera and a tripod. His mates did the acting and his dad did the voice over. To view Mick’s video and his hints and tips on creating a quality video, check out the Hard Sell webpage.

Enviromental Film Festival

March 1, 2011 / / Comments Off on Enviromental Film Festival

Last year we ran the festival for the first time.www.effm.org.au We had an outstanding turn-out, with films that sparked debate, inspired thought and empowered people to envision a better future. The festival will be running in mid-September this year, and we are now in the process of collecting films for this year’s screening. The festival will be running over 5 days, and in addition to a selection of international films, we would like to showcase some home-grown work from budding film-makers in Melbourne. We think it’s an excellent idea to encourage local film-makers to tackle the vast list of environmental issues our world faces, whether in the format of Documentary, Fiction or Animation. We would love to receive submissions from your students who are developing projects this year. The films do have a limit of 10 minutes, and will need to be ready by July. Films that are selected will be screened at the Kino in Melbourne, September.

Opportunity for student writers

September 15, 2010 / / Comments Off on Opportunity for student writers

My name is Kim Heras, I’m the editor of The Next Web Australia – the local arm of the global The Next Web tech blog network
I was wondering if you had any other students who would be interested in doing some guest writing for the blog.

It wouldn’t be a paid gig but there are a bunch of reasons why it might be a great opportunity
1. Opportunity to cross post their stories to the main The Next Web network which receives about 3 Million unique views /month
2. Chance to get introduced to key companies/people in the Australian tech scene
3. Opportunity to build up a portfolio of real stories on a leading global tech blog network
4. Experience in what it’s like to have to identify stories and produce them in a timely manner

Of course this would be perfect for students who have a specific interest in technology but then again we cover companies like Google/Microsoft/Apple/The Australian Government etc. all of which any of your students will probably be familiar with.
