EEK!

So we've hit a little pothole in our MI2 seminar plans. Whilst originally believing we had all 4 guests secured and ready to go, we just found out that Brad Giblin from Film Victoria was not actually a certainty anymore which means we are back to that tentative 3.

It's not that 3 is a bad number but 4 is just so much of a better number for panel discussions, to give a more rounded reflection of the industry (we would have someone from games, music videos, the film financing sector, and someone from corporate video). Because Brad is MIA, we can't confirm the film financing sector being represented so are now on the hunt for a 4th panel member.

I've made a few suggestions to the group based on some research I did of the new media industry. Red Snow Productions are a new production company that specialise in anything from corporate videos to music videos. My interest in them and their company came out of their involvement with TVC production, something we hadn't yet explored for the purpose of the seminar. My second suggestion was Big and Small Productions who again specialise in advertising but in the online format - definitely something relevant to our seminar.

I've posted these suggestions on the Facebook page and so far no one's commented so we will see if there's an interest. Alternatively (pun intended), I may suggest we approach the online written portals, similar to Portable where Flavia used to work. Shall see how it all goes.
