Students will be working on a "real" project that uses the Wallace and Gromit computer game to show and teach the students how and why sound is used for moving image medias such as interactive games, film & TV.

Watson of Illustrious Creative Education said "The "sound for moving image" master class we designed along with Chris Mann of Mann Music, Sheffield is, as far as we know, the only one that exists in the UK and no one else is doing anything so advanced. "This project
was piloted at Leeds College of Music last year and was so successful
we were specifically requested that this be part of our week of activity
this year. It is a great testament of our previous and recent services
to them and activities we have delivered, to be given the opportunity
to put the students in touch with the creative industries, learning
the skills and understanding various industries and career paths" |
