London trip

Double Negative.

While going to London, we had a choice to visit two companies, one being We are seventeen and the other Double Negative, I chose to go with the latter.

We were shown around by Vic who is head of HR and she showed us where they produce the 3D and 2D effects they do with films and such.

Vic told us that their are five floors to Double Negative and started out as a small number of people and has grown to a big company.

Near the end they showed us a show reel of their work and asked us questions on what we were working on at the moment.

Shellsuit Zombie.

In the Evening we got to meet post-grads Shellsuit Zombie, three guys and one girl.
They set us a task to sell one thing to someone that is associated with a particular target audience. So we had to pick two pieces of paper like a lucky dip and work with what we got. Although my group didn't present I found it fun, even if I was too tired to enjoy it at the time. Watching the other groups present theirs was entertaining and amusing to watch and was a really good laugh. Also learned a lot from the experience and got to hear what the guys at Shellsuit got up too after the graduated.

There was also this scrap book that was passed around and you got to fill a page with anything you wanted. However I never got the chance to do anything, too many people hogged in so little time and it just never got done, but it was an awesome idea and I think it would be good if we did that ourselves and have the book stay in our room for other students, past or new to put their memories of their time on the course and what they got up to after.
