A group of our students are the media team for world championship in Windsurfing in Kerteminde here in Denmark.
They are streaming videos from the boats to Internet, taking pictures and updating the website.
See video from TV here:
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.

The Professor’s Laboratory is now gone – south – to Spain.

You can follow the project in Spain above.
The group is nominated in Spain to be one of 20 best new and innovative projects in Europe.
Thursday this week they will present the project for the judges.
We congratulate here from MMD Odense and hope that the group will win.

Vi har i London besøgt Escape Studios.
Vi fik set et professionelt kursus-sted, som dels leverer unge talenter til f.eks MPC og andre produktionssteder i UK og dels leverer hardware og software til firmaerne også.
De studerende kan komme ind i deres job-agency og på den måde få et job i UK.
En 12 ugers uddannelse på stedet koster godt. 8000 GBP, men så er man også så godt som sikret et job i branchen.

Så har vi været på besøg hos:
http://www.moving-picture.com/
Det var en stor succes. De arbejder dels med show-reels og dels med film-reels. De har 600 ansatte i London og kontorer i LA (Show reel stedet) og Vancouver (Film stedet nu)
Vores studerende var begejstrede.
MPC arbejder dels med Maya og dels med Adobe pakken og endelig andre pakker herunder Nuke.
De fortalte at de nu vil skifte helt til Nuke, som main applikation sammen med Maya.
Derudover har de en R&D afdeling, som laver plugins til Maya.
Deres ansatte er studerende som vores, som kommer fra hele verdenen. Hende vi talte med kom fra Brasilien.
De studerende fik også tips til hvordan de kan ansøge om at arbejde som “runner” på 4.sem. Altså en person som laver te, kaffe, kopierer etc. og så får chancen til at vise sit værd, når projekterne har tidsproblemer. Masser af ansatte komme ind på den måde.
Hvad de studerende havde lavet tidligere og hvilke papirer de har var ikke så vigtigt, men de skal have en fed show-reel (video), som klart viser hvad de vil. Den skal være kort og præcis. Det kan godt være få sekunder, men til gengæld skal man klart kunne se potentialet.
Vi fik visitkort med hjem fra firmaet

Our studytour for London is up and running.
Today we visited MPC – http://www.moving-picture.com/
We saw all the new show-reels they are creating. Great stuff.
They use Maya like we do and also AE. We got a lot of tips of how to become “runner” and apply in the company. I think that all students and teachers were very happy.

At MMD-Odense we will be testing 3D stereoscopic video production in this semester!
Several students will test the 3D video opportunities inspired by the Avatar movie.
Some links to get 3d video inspired:

One of our 4.sem groups have now earned their way to a big chance in Madrid.
Campus Party Europe, an event by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, to be held in Madrid from 15th ? 18th April 2010, during the Spanish Presidency of the European Union and organized by E3 Futura Association.

The MMD project is a design and programming project based on an innovative idea for the danish event company Danfoss Universe.

The idea is to create a virtual chemistry lab using Flash and Arduino technology.
We wishes David the best of luck in Spain.
