Hey,
Still loads of places left for Sean farrell's talk tonight in the TV studio.
This should be of great interest to all you inspiring communications andmultimedia
students who are frustrated at our lack of equipment here in DCU. As sean
started out as a freelancer himself, he is used to working on minimum equipment
and has agreed to direct his attention to what DCU can offer. He was technical
officer at RTE for many years and is very familiar with what is necessary
for the TV industry today. Now he works as head of production resources
at RTE so get in there, get your face recognised, ask loads of questions
and you may get a bit of experience at a later stage?!
So 6.30 , upstairs on first floor of Henry Grattan building in the TV studio.Cya
then
