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.

My colleagues and I had a meeting with Mikko Tikkanen - our interaction design graduate 2010 - to discuss cooperation implementing our new 30 cr Game Design module next spring. Mikko was full of energy and joy, Zonear had just won Startup Sauna Warmup Tampere arranged by Stream Tampere, New Factory and Aalto Venture Garage.

This week’s Tuesday was filled with interesting events for a game designer student and a game developer.
ManSEDANse Play! event was new and fresh. This year’s theme wrapped around technology and the role of it: What can you really do with it, what are the new possibilities and how important is the technology in the creative process of creating new games.

The Arduino workshop will work three days |
Tuomo Joronen just reminded me this afternoon that in the 0th floor, there was the Arduino Workshop just about to begin.
I went there and wow, it looked really interesting what the students were doing, with the help of Jukka Hautamäki and Otto Urpelainen. Well, actually they were just configurating the computers with the program and with the arduino gadget, but the workshop had barely begun. There seemed to be some problems with configuring the oldest laptop models, for these had no access to the school's WLAN. But eventually everything seemed to be working fine.
The big lobby of the second floor at Finlayson is pretty quiet now. It is four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are only students waiting for the Arduino Workshop to begin, down in the 0th floor.
