“The official trailer for GSProductions first feature film has been released. Pre-production began in May 2013 with a team of just under 20 people working to promote the project and raise funds via an IndieGoGo campaign. After meeting their goal of just over £3,500, they were able to hire and shoot on a RED One digital camera, allowing for full cinematic scale, as well as receiving merchandise and the legal rights for the products used throughout the film, such as Rubik’s from Seven Towns Ltd. An original score is also being created for the film by Vincent Walker of Suburban Legends, which really brings the film to life. The film was shot in just over three weeks in July 2013 and is now nearing the end of production, with the final stages of post-production currently underway, with hopes to release the film at the end of September 2014.”

Nicholas Parsons CBE | University of Lincoln Honorary Doctorate

Posted on by

NicholasParsons_SBHave you got just a minute? With a busy time at the Lincoln School of Media, it’s nice to take time to reflect over the Bank Holiday. So we thought it’d be lovely to share LSM’s collection on broadcast legend Nicholas Parsons CBE. This month he gave a talk at the ‘Great Minds’ Lecture, which was in association with LSM, about The English Language and the Spoken Word.

Senior Lecturer, Dylan Roys: Anyone get a picture of his shoes? … wow I want some like that.

Henry-WillmottSenior Lecturer, Chris Hainstock: we had a great talk by Nicholas Parsons CBE. Big thanks to soon-to-be-graduates Henry Willmot & Kamil Rewers for filming before and after the event, Mr P preferred the talk to be ‘live’ only so the lucky ones inside got to hear his witty and thought provoking tales. Who knew he spent 5 years as an apprentice engineer on the Clyde in Glasgow?!  Continue reading →

1-day International Colloquium on Drone Culture | 24th May 2014

Posted on by

Rob-Coley_LSM-LecturerLincoln School of Media Lecturer Dr. Rob Coley has organised the international one day colloquium, hosted by the 21st Century Research Group at the University of Lincoln. THIS SATURDAY distinguished speakers from around the world will gather on-campus in EMMTEC to explore prominent issues surrounding ‘drone culture’. Join academics, writers, performers and artists from across the globe to discuss the social and conceptual implications of unmanned aircraft.

Rob said: “We will explore issues of local importance as well as of global concern, and presentations at our colloquium may also address the use of the drone in farming, in journalism, and in marketing gimmicks by the likes of Amazon. The event will deal with the idea of ‘drone culture’ more broadly, touching on films, contemporary art, video games and, of course, the drone as a musical form. We are particularly excited to have two fantastic keynote speakers who will address these wide-ranging issues, including how remote visualisation changes our perception of space and geography, and how the drone could be a symptom of a changing relationship between humans and machines.” Continue reading →

BBC’s 1st OB recreated by LSM, Locals, a Violinist & Nightingale!

Posted on by

To celebrate the 90th anniversary of BBC radio, LSM Senior Lecturer in audio production David McSherry shares this sound story.

DylanRoys-and-JanetWelsh_18may2014-at-18.34.1490 years ago today on the 19th May, the BBC transmitted its very first outside broadcast and the stars of the show were cellist Beatrice Harrison accompanied by a very tuneful nightingale. To celebrate the anniversary, Senior Lecturer in radio and sound Dylan Roys and I accepted the challenge from Reverend Mark Holden (Wragby parishes) to recreate the historic event in Lincolnshire. 

Violinist Janet Welsh kindly agreed to join us in this quest and we headed off to Whisby Nature Reserve to recruit a willing nightingale to our band. As dusk fell, Graham, our expert guide and one of Whisby’s wardens, attuned our ears to the song of the nightingale amongst the many other voices of blackcap, whitethroat and robin.  LISTEN to ‘The Violin and The Nightingale’ here.  Continue reading →
