Graduation Day

Posted on by

Cathedral interiorThe 23rd of January was the first graduation day of 2013 for the University of Lincoln.  As part of the LSM’s alumni team, I find it‘s a great opportunity to capture the event.  Although I have to admit that I have never attended the January ceremonies at Lincoln Cathedral, until now.  Today I was fortunate to see graduation from a different perspective – as a postgraduate student.  So, as I warm up now with a glass of mulled wine and raise it to all alumni, I thought I’d post a couple of photos taken by my nearest and dearest.

Cheers!

Taking centre stage was actor John Hurt CBE who received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts.  Perhaps you can spot the Head of the LSM Sarah Barrow, and how about anyone else pictured?

‘Midlands on Film’ by LSM and MACE

Posted on by

Midlands on Film DVD Collection It has been a fantastic experience to be part of a collaborative project between the LSM and MACE (Media Archive for Central England) because I could do what I love best and produce creative content. My industry passion is producing programmes on whatever platform, and this project was to promote the archives held at MACE into a DVD series. There are nine DVDs and each is based on a city in the Midlands.  As part of the LSM teaching team, I had multicultural Leicester which can be traced back almost 2,000 years – thankfully the archives only dated back to the 1920s!

Meet the Freelancers – a personal view

Posted on by

Follow JordanI did wonder why LSM graduate Jordan Livermore left his first job in 3D film, to launch himself as a runner. I‘m beginning to understand now, having gone along to “Meet the Freelancers”, an event suggested and organised by Jordan, hosted by the LSM.

Jordan’s idea was to pass on the wisdom and experiences of fellow freelancers Nick Cramp, James Gurden, Jude Winstanley and Andy Devonshire, as well as to give his own take on the business. Together they did just that. Jordan started with this:

LSM to deliver BFI Film Academy

Posted on by

From Sarah Barrow:

Lincoln School of Media is proud to have been successful with its bid – submitted jointly with CfBT to become one of 24 Regional Partners selected to deliver a BFI Film Academy for 16-19 year olds between Jan-March 2013.

This is a fantastic achievement and recognition of our growing reputation, our commitment to giving young people the best opportunities in film production, and of our established work with schools and colleges.

Thanks and well done to Senior Lecturer Brian Hall who worked so hard on the bid and to all who supported and/or will soon be involved! There will be opportunities for LSM students to work as crew to support the Academy between Jan and March 2013 – application details to come.

The scheme is funded by the Govt’s Dept of Education.
