by Peter on Oct.02, 2006, under Projects

According to Jon Macey – our course leader for the MSc in Bournemouth – there is a Masters Degree show for last year’s Masters graduates being held by both the Moving Picture Company (MPC) and Framestore CFC on Friday. The details this show are thus:

NCCA – Bournemouth University
MSc Computer Animation, MA3D Computer Animation,
MA Digital Effects, Masters By Project in Computer Animation
Degree Show 2006

Friday 6th October
12.00 midday ~ 5.30pm

The Moving Picture Company (MSc Computer Animation MA Digital Effects)
127 Wardour Street, London W1F 0NL

Framestore CFC (MA 3D Computer Animation, Masters by Project)
19-23 Wells Street London W1T 3PQ.

The National Centre for Computer Animation will be staging its annual postgraduate degree show for 2006 at two venues this year; both within 5 minutes walk of each other, and we would be delighted if you could make it along for the show.

Featuring the work of over 50 graduating students, productions will be played back on a loop throughout the afternoon in the screening theatre. Refreshments will be available in the adjoining bar area and you will also have an opportunity to meet with NCCA staff and the graduating students whose work is on display. DVD copies of the show reel will be provided along with booklets containing the contact details for our most recent cohort of graduates.

My first week has been … odd. I’m currently back in Portsmouth for a few days to collect my bike and use the internet as my internet in Bournemouth hasn’t been enabled yet. My first day was so boring it nearly drove me to madness as I was on my own in the flat. Since people have now finished moving in over the course of the week, I feel a lot more secure about my sanity. Though, saying that, I am living with five girls.

I haven’t met many people from my course yet, but tomorrow a gathering is being held which should rectify this. I have met Gerard Keating, who used to work at Double Negative as a colour runner, and also Fraser MacLean, who used to work at Disney and was also a lecture at Aberdeen or Dundee… maybe both. My memory is quite bad.

Other than the usual moving house, meeting people, and exploring this week has been rather unremarkable. I’ll post up more news when I eventually get the internet sorted out.
