Wow!
That’s all I have to say about this week’s speaker. I was so glad that I had stayed back for it. I was thinking of bunking off ’cause I was a bit tired but I am glad I didn’t!
Clodagh had Ian Cudmore in to speak to us about film editing. It was amazing. He went through his CV but told it like a story, unlike the previous week that told it like it was common knowledge and didn’t give it much heart. He talked about starting off in NCAD and working his way through life as a freelancing editor. It was really cool. He showed us videos of what he shoot/edited for music artist in his early work and then showed us what he had been up to more resently with RTE. He gave us insight on how the structure of RTE worked and how tough it is at the bottom but how much easier it gets as you work your way up. This is what I want to get into the visual media side of things, I’m not really into the old text media, or the management side, so this lecture really spoke to me more then anyone else so far. The next speaker has to live up too this guy, really,really do not eny them.
