Hey
two events for you -
On Monday next, that's the 14th March we have a guest speaker who has agreeed
to come in and give us a little chat about the film industry. Tyler Dinwoodie
is the Director of Photography on the new Irish/Canadian movie soon to be
released 'Hooligans.' He is an editor within the American industry and has
also worked on many canadian commercials. So anyone interested in what he
has to teach us is welcome to turn up just before half 7 on Monday in the
Henry Grattan building - CG 12.
Secondly, Sean Farrell, Head of Production Resources with RTE TV has agreed
to come in on Tuesday 15th March to speak about the technical aspect of
production. He tends to look at some of our equipment and relate to what
is possible and what is not. He will touch on subjects such as editing,
packages and programmes, camera work and other technical issues related
to TV productions. This talk will be held in the TV Studio on the first
floor of the Henry Grattan building at half 6. Due to the room's small capacity
please email me directly to confirm your place on Tuesday.
See you then

hey guys
Hope you've been listening into DCU FM on 97.3fm or on the web cos its shaping
up to be a good week! well done to everyone who's had a show or who's been
producing!
On the bad side though, certain people havn't turned up for shows and have
left us totally stuck, which is unfair on everyone, so please have the courtesy
to at least tell someone from MPS in advance and then at least we can organise
someone else to go on instead.
Good luck tomorrow!
