Paris...

This course has been great for travelling so far, and I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to travel to Paris this week with Unique Media.

Jon Stethridge kindly invited me to help with a live webcast for Hewlett-Packard. It was a long journey each way by car due to all the kit that we needed to take along, but well worth the effort. The crew was Simon, Chris (both pictured), Jon and myself. We set up all the kit on the Monday evening, ready for the live webcast on Tuesday.

The webcast was broadcast to hp staff in dealerships across France and lasted about an hour. It was a two-camera shoot and was streamed in Windows Media Format. There was also a back-up phone number staff could call to listen to the audio if they had any problems with the webcast.

Jon was very helpful in answering all my questions and I learnt a lot about how the webcast was set up. I also helped change the slides on the webpage in sync with the webcast. It all went according to plan and appeared to be a success with around 170 unique log-ins from hp dealerships across France. I gained a lot of knowledge from the experience and getting the chance to do the job abroad was a definite bonus.

I'm back in Cardiff at Green Bay now and working on a new CSS based template for their website.

In other news, three staff from Lim Kok Wing in Kuala Lumpur are arriving in Cardiff this Saturday. Amongst them is Eugene Foo who taught us After Effects while we were in Malaysia. It will be great to get the chance to catch up with them again and show them around the sites of Cardiff.
