I decided to do The Future Creators because I wanted to learn more about
technology.
I thought I knew some, but I wanted to know more.
To really learn more new stuff.
When I heard about filmmaking and all, I was interested in that.
I think the group this year has a very good balance
when it comes to the range of ages
and gender balance, different backgrounds and schools
I think it works really well. This is the third year of
the project now I think we know a bit better what we're looking for
when it comes
to the interview stage... and they work really well as a team.
They're really good, they're very helpful, and they work well with each other.
Yeah, I've made loads of friends here
Usually when I'm meeting new people I'm really shy, but when I came here it was
really crazy; everyone is friends already.
First day, loads of friends.
So they did animation, stop-motion animation they did some Flash animation
they worked with Photoshop doing graphic design
there was 3d printing; they got a chance to experience 3d printing
and they did some digital printing and screen printing
they had a chance to work with the green screen
The green screen in NCAD, yeah I loved that
The green screen was really funny, I was pretending to be Wonder Woman
A few people did it before me and the I did it; she just had a big green screen and we just sat there and
did like... pretended to be on a carpet and all...
It's very important that the participants take away more than just digital skill
from this experience, so that they bond as as a group and that they
they grow in confidence. So, definitely.
We had some of them do a bit of public speaking at Christmas.
I was just telling them how it works... how we did the animation
yeah, I did feel nervous... my hands were shaking...
and then, and afterwards it's just okay; it's just normal people, they're
nothing different.
They're almost finished all their taster sessions,
they have one more to go
in coding and once they've done that, for the rest of the
program then they'll select either fillmmaking or coding... and they'll
specialize in that.
