This spring talented students from 2. semester Film & Animation class developed web og video trailer prototypes for Odense International Filmfestival (OFF – See www.filmfestival.dk ). Along with analysis of target groups and communication related issues.
Birgitte Weinberger, the nice lady at the picture and managing director for OFF, gave the Film & animation students good introductions and feedback to the students work during the semester.
MMD Odense is very happy about the cooperation with OFF, that has provided the students with a realistic case environment. Further more the OFF project gave the students very good production experience using software tools like Maya, Matchmover, Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Adobe Flash.

Again this year one of our 4.sem groups participated in the 48 hours project under EAL -our main organisation Erhvervsakademiet Lillebælt.
During the two days our students should look at two things. First to give a suggestion for a new layout for the website and including a CMS. Secondly to look at visualisation of the 3D data.
One of our 4th sem. groups presented their project for the danish entertainment park Danfoss Universe.
They described the Virtual laboratorium and we had the chance to try out the prototype. It was great.
In this T&D workshop the 3.sem classes and teachers (miko & Erik) are working with multimedia and sensors.
The idea is to create concepts for shops based on real life sensors and designing multimedia applications in Flash and then connecting everything using arduino. It was a great week for everybody (miko)
