PICTURE
TALKS: Mobile Phone Content Development
A four day workshop in creating content for mobile phones. Participants
shot and created movies, games, slideshows and instillations for
replay and transmission on mobile phones via infrared, blue tooth
and downloads from external web sites.
"Mobile content development is a growth area with endless

MOBILESTORIES: Digital Storytelling
“Digital storytelling” is a method of relating personal
narratives using accessible, simple, yet technically sophisticated
digital media production tools.
Each participant produced a “Digital Story” in a mobile
phone playable file form, a web streamable version (on a web site
created during the workshop) and on a DVD.
The workshop provided tuition in script development models, asset
acquisition practices, Apple iLife 06 package, Photoshop, After
Effects and access to Final Cut Pro, Flash and Dreamweaver.
A typical digital story should be around 2 to 3 minutes in length,
be composed of a series of still images and possibly some moving
images with a voice-over delivered in a first person narrative
style.
Then have all the works with synopsis, contacts and names.

CYBERPLACE: Development
of New Media Content for Portable Devices
The 5-day creative workshop developed new media content for portable
devices, such as mobile phones, wireless computers and portable
media players.
Participants were taught to write, capture, edit, record, conform
and compress their own very personal audio/visual story of “home".
This was an amazing opportunity to explore the notion of “home",
whether it is the home of memory or of imagination, a place you
have been that just felt like home, or some place from your half
forgotten past.

METRO:MOBILITY
2005
METRO:MOBILITY 2005 was a series of events to introduce
emerging and established filmmakers, digital artists and screen-media
professionals to the new opportunities and challenges of the exploding
3G mobile phone content and services sector.
It was decided to make this ‘introduction to new opportunities’
by way of three events aimed at bringing creative people together
with people working for mobile telcos, mobile service and content
providers, angel investors, and end users:
• an ‘Industry Seminar’ held on the morning
of the 30th May 2005;
• a two-week ‘Masterclass’ held from 30th May
– 14th June 2005;
• a ‘ShowParty’ held on the evening of the 14th
June 2005.
By bringing the commercial and artistic communities together in
this way, Metro Screen foster the emergence of new ideas, new
distribution channels, new careers – in short, a new content
industry built on the technical, marketing and business underpinnings
provided by a rapidly evolving telecommunications industry.
With 100’s of people in attendance throughout the activities
and eight completed pilot/prototypes, content developers also started
negotiating with industry.

Light Show
Light Show is a simple movie that follows the playful journey
we go through in finding our identity and who we are in life.
It deals with how we constantly change in this never-ending cycle,
from choosing to and realising it, to at times being unaware of
the changes going on with us.

As the tidal movements of the ocean shape the shoreline, so this
