The first of these new ITF sessions led by expert multiplatform writers Sean Coleman and Andrew McCaldon was inspirational for those attending.
“A really productive day. it definitely helped suggest some really good avenues for how I might be able to take my project on to the next level” (Ed McGown – Met Film)
“The case studies opened my eyes to what is possible” (Dominic Weston – Icon Films)
“Excellent. Informed, pleasant and aproachable. Each [trainer] had different areas of expertise and interests that reflected in their presentations and advice” (Meg Jayanth – Met Film & Freelance)
Thanks to all the delegates for bringing such interesting proposals to develop as multiplatform projects in the small group workshops, for sharing their knowledge and expertise, and for their generous suggestions for enhancing each other’s projects.
“It’s particularly interesting to discuss what people are currently doing and what they’re passionate about, and give/receive individual feedback” (Meg Jayanth – Met Film)
“Great cross-fertilisation in the workshops” (Dominic Weston – Icon Films)
The majority of the 10 delegates had been awarded new Skillset Multiplatform training bursaries which had enabled them to attend, and some of them to cover the additional travel and accommodation costs of coming from further afield around the UK.
We expect them to keep in touch with each other, feedback on this session, and possibly form a network support group to exchange ideas and develop future cross-platform projects together, preferably using the Comments field below.
Here are some useful links from the tutors to inspire you to devise your own cross-platform projects:
