Last Thursday a TAMK student Jussi Salonen held a lecture on the Finlayson campus about using Microsoft Kinect for motion capture. Everything was made possible with Blender, a free open source 3D computer graphics software, which the 10IMPs also have tried out during their Animation course last spring.

As I was teaching scriptwriting to the Film & TV students last Monday and Tuesday, I noticed something strange. The assignment was to write a short dialogue scene between two unnamed people, A and B. Each student could decide what kind of people these two characters were.
To my surprise, most of the students wrote scenes between two male characters. One group of about 20 students, for instance, had only two scripts with a female character. I asked the students if they had noticed the invisibility of women in their scenes, and they themselves seemed also surprised by the result.

24.hours.in Tampere (http://www.24-hours.in/) is an interactive documentary project exploring new opportunities for participation, collaboration and the potential democratisation of documentary production. With reference to Dziga Vertov’s seminal 1929 documentary film ‘Man with a Movie Camera’, the aim is for the project to document the city, the people that live there and their daily lives.

TechNet is an event organized by Microsoft and it was held on the 15th of November at the Finlandia Hall in Helsinki. The place was crowded with the professionals of the ICT industry and everyone seemed to be excited to learn new things at the seminars as well as meeting both old and new friends! The main theme of the day was, not so surprisingly, Windows Phone as a platform.

The event was organized in Digital Chocolate’s premises in Helsinki Tuesday evening this week. The point was that all the women interested in game industry in Finland gathered to there and the organizers talked about the industry. About 16% of workers in the Finnish game industry are women and this activity was arranged that the percent would grow. There were a lot of students but also some people from work life. The event was unbelievably popular; about 50 women came there, some of whom as far away as Pori, Tampere, Ikaalinen and Portugal.

During the semester break the most exchange students made some trips or used the time to go home. But one course in this semester break sounded too interesting, in order to miss it. The "Video Technique & Expression" was about filming, lighting, camera techniques and editing. It was held by Ville Salminen from Obscure Entertainment.

As a part of the four-year degree programme in Interactive Media, I’m going abroad as an Erasmus exchange student for the third year. Some make it shorter, but I wanted to properly get to know to English culture and ways of studying and thus decided to stay for the full academic year. Right now I am writing to you in the library of University of Salford located in Greater Manchester.
