Helena Masterson

I have now officially graduated!!!

I went to deliver invites to design agencies for the SecretSalfordShow today with Brett and Amelia. It was quite a successful day as we got all of the invites out. Really looking forward to the show now!

This is one of the final teaser videos I have done for Secret Salford Show. Sssh!

Decode Recode

Today was the opening of Decode Recode. It went really well and everyone got stuck in working on the uploaded content. I worked on a part of the video that me, Brett and Amelia had produced for it. One of the clips was of Brett dressed as Alan Turing writing one of the formulae that Alan Turing had written. I was able to animate some of the text on the formulae as I wanted it to represent his thinking of working out the code and rejecting the parts that didn’t work. Here is the finished result.

Gorilla Virals

The show is over (for now) but I was pleased to see our virals got about a bit online. So far between the seven virals we created, we have 822 views. This is a great result as we only let them out a week before the show.

This is one of my first attempts at editing actual footage in this way using more than one camera angle and adding effects in Final Cut. I really enjoyed it and I feel as though I have progressed with my editing skills. When I have edited before, this was for documentaries and more serious pieces and although I enjoyed doing those, it was nice to have a change and do something funny.

DNA Goody Bag Handout

Brett, Amelia and I went to deliver some goody bags to industry today. We visited some companies and invited them to the dna show on the 1st March. There were groups of us doing this today in different areas of Manchester but we were concentrating on the Deansgate area. A couple of the companies we visited knew us from placements and previous visits so it was good to go back to them and see what they were working on. 

It all went smoothly today and we are feeling confident that most of the companies will be coming to the show. Should be a good night and we are looking forward to the event!
