Ian Cudmore
This week our guest speaker was Ian Cudmore a free lance editor/jack of all trades.
His talk to us on Thursday was very interesting, he spoke of how he got into being a freelancer.He spoke of the advantages and disadvantages of being your own boss, which was interesting as people often look past the disadvantages because its the dream of almost everyone with a job. He gave us an insight to how he personally got involved in creating and editing films ,documentaries, etc. He spoke of the courses he did in ncad and trinity and how they lead him to working with videos. To hear how Ian went from college like us to working with RTE and figures such as Lisa Hannigan, P.J Gallagher and Maeve Higgins. I found this weeks guest lecture extremely interesting and I will remember his words of advice to us first years.
This week we also were handed our first assignment in multimedia authoring, which involves making a banner and island advert using flash. Sounds like it could be a bit of fun. Also handed in web design assignment for human computer interaction.
