A Summary of MAKE 2019 - an Draiocht, Dublin 15

Some of the speakers from the first half of MAKE 2019

MAKE - Media, Art, Knowledge, Education.

MAKE is a seminar that started in 2018. It is TUDublin Blanchardstown's own celebration of the digital media industry, giving our Creative Digital Media students a place to learn from industry professionals.

The day started with speakers who were amateurs and pros across illustration, design, visual art and UX design. They talked about their experience in their sectors of the industry and reference each others work to show similarities in each others work. Some of the most important things we as students can take away from these talks is how anybody can start in the industry from what they know, as they will learn and grow along the way as they progress through their careers.

The second part of the day had speakers who worked in areas such as sound design, music composition, filming and directing, with our lecturer Hugh Rodgers who is an award-winning composer and director. This panel gave a great insight into the documentary/film industry.

Introduction to a Future Game Developer & Film Producer

Introduction A photo of me taken by James Reynolds My name is Christopher Carney, and I'm an aspiring Creative Digital Media student hailing from IT Blanchardstown (soon to be one of three campuses as part of the Technological University of Dublin).

This was a fun and active year long course in which I expanded on my previous knowledge of music production, and learned a lot about sound engineering. We organised a gig that year as part of our course in whi...

Favourite Game

My Favourite Game Battlefield 1 is currently my favourite game to play. I have been playing it since it's release in 2016 and although I take a break from it to put time into other games I always find I come back to it. Battlefield 1's campaign is short and fun, with a lot of insight into the history of WW1. The multiplayer feature is where I spend my time in the game though, playing in battles of 32 vs. 32 players on each team, spread across some of the largest battlefields of WW1. The game is beautifully made, with realistic graphics and animations and the playable maps in the game take direct influence from photos and stories of the real battlefields from the time.

19Sixteen Progress - Week 10

As of Week 10 all the members of the 19Sixteen group have been assigned specific roles and things to research in relation to their roles. All members also have tasks due for next Thursday so that we can start building on our game. I myself took charge of reorganising roles to fit our six week timeframe and along with James Reynolds we merged the Assets and Level Creator teams as they will need to work closely together to build our version of D1. I also took charge of drawing out a map of the area we are creating for the game so the level creators can build the game world based on a specific area.
