MTF Semester 2 - Week 11 - 18/10/07

Today we had our first round of forum presentations for our portfolio package.

Lauren presented first outlining how she produces under The Elektro Kitten logo.
She has a well rounded package that gives a rundown of her qualifications, artists she worked with, skills/services she can offer and a variety of works. The only thing I would say to Lauren is that when presenting it would be good to have an outline on paper and use that as a guide. I think people start to go to sleep when someone reads word for word a pre-prepared presentation from paper. Adding to this is when she reads she speeds up and the audience goes Zzzzzz. Otherwise fantastic, her portfolio shows she is very talented indeed.
Brendan had the idea to get feedback from the class on what songs he should include in his portfolio. He asked what the class liked/disliked and what we would have done differently. He also plans to set himself apart by having a DVD with a montage on it and if time permits for assessment but if not after, a website. His is interested in film sound.

Scott provided a good balance of musical examples that showcased his many talents. Examples played were created in different programs and showed skills in engineering, producing and composing.

Ben gave more of an overview of what faces everybody now. He shows that he is definitely thinking how best to showcase his talents.

Josh talked about how he was very interested in the course because he wants to create music for computer games and has even put together one of his own and added effects and music. His mixes of the Zelda theme were very easy to listen to.

Everybody has a slightly different interest in recording for bands, dance, film, games or animation.
