Transmedia @ Universities
Students in the UK are fortunate to have the Skillset Screen Academy Wales and Skillset Academi+, which have lead the way, guiding their students toward sources of Transmedia production theories and practice in the UK and Europe.
Skillset Screen Academy Wales
Skillset Academi+
Christy authors a related blog and has submitted a PhD in transmedia, and has put together this useful blog entry:
"Each year I’m emailed by prospective students asking for information about universities in the USA and Europe that would be good for studying transmedia at the undergraduate or post-graduate level. Of course, the research approach you intend to use (are you researching narrative, game, interaction, marketing, media, art, and/or so on?) influences the choice; and one can study this area in just about every department at the post-graduate level. But attending universities with academics that are already familiar with the area would be a great help."

Channel 4 Production Trainee Scheme | C4 Talent
CHANNEL 4 PRODUCTION TRAINEE SCHEME
Opportunities with production companies nationwide.
We're on the lookout for new voices.
Talented people who are keen to spend up to 12 months with either a TV or new media production company, building the skills they need to launch their careers.
The important thing here is NEW voices. Which is why these schemes have been created for those who think they might never be able to break into the industry.
There could be a hundred reasons why: you may be disabled for example, or from an ethnic minority, or perhaps you've never seen the inside of a university.
Maybe you believe that your age could cause those doors to slam in your face. Whatever.
The important thing is that you can bring ideas, energy and real passion. In return, we'll bring you every opportunity to shine.
What you get
Training and experience. Lots of it.
There'll be on-the-job learning when you're with your assigned production company, as well as structured industry coaching sessions at Channel 4 and other top locations every month.
On top of all that, there's a generous training allowance of £17,000.

Calling young filmmakers -- Get your film screened at Glastonbury Festival!!!
The Village Screen project, part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, is looking for a mix of inspiring, funny, original and challenging films from young filmmakers, aged 12 to 24, to show on our big screens (25 metres squared) at the Glastonbury Festival, Wednesday 23–Sunday 27 June 2010.
We are looking for films in the following categories:
Welcome the World – an open call for silent films with a purely visual narrative, celebrating the values of the Olympic Games: Friendship, Courage, Determination, Excellence, Equality, Respect and Inspiration
Hug the Planet – supported by Natural England, in the International Year of Biodiversity, an open call for films with a strong visual narrative (not reliant on dialogue to get your story across), focussing on creative and innovative approaches to the five themes of sustainability in the natural world: Biodiversity, Climate Change, Healthy Living, Inclusion, Waste
One filmmaker in each category will be chosen to receive a pair of tickets to attend the 2010 Glastonbury Festival (Wednesday 23–Sunday 27 June).
Terms & Conditions of the Open Call for Short Films
Films should be submitted in DVD format and should be accompanied by a completed submissions/permissions form (downloadable here) by Tuesday 4th May 2010 to:
Gwen Joy,
Watershed
No 1 Canon’s Row
Harbourside
Bristol BS1 5TX
Neither the Village Screen project nor the Watershed can take responsibility for undelivered or lost content and recommends that “master copies” should not be sent under any circumstances.
Neither the Village Screen project nor the Watershed can commit to returning DVDs but will ensure that film-makers whose work is accepted for screening are informed;
Films can be made in any genre (animation; black and white; drama; documentary etc);
Filmmakers should avoid including commercial branding within the body of their films and, under no account, can include the names, brands or logos of commercial sponsors in the title sequences of their films;
Films can be made and submitted by individuals; small groups; or whole classes;
While we encourage entrants to improve their skills and seek the guidance of more experienced film-makers, we expect the creative ideas, content, camera work and editing to be the work of young film-makers;
To ensure those chosen to receive a pair of free tickets get them in good time, we will ask for the contact details of both prospective recipients in advance (on the submissions/permissions form); without this information we cannot consider you for tickets, though your film will still be considered for screening;
Those receiving free tickets will be expected to comply with the full list of terms and conditions issued by Glastonbury Festival (which will be sent to you with your ticket), but please note now that:
tickets are strictly non-transferable;
all under 16s must be accompanied by an adult;
ticket holders will be expected to bring and carry photo id at all times
• The decisions of the selection panel, ratified by the organisers of the Village Screen project, will be considered final.

There's time to enter Virgin Media Shorts
Virgin Media Shorts is a short film competition that champions undiscovered talent.
Whether you're a film maker or a film lover, there are loads of ways to get involved.
Read all about them below.
If you're a film maker...
Virgin Media Shorts gives you the chance to show your work in cinemas, on TV, online and on mobiles (via the mobile internet).Here's what's up for grabs:
12 film makers win a chance to show their work on 214 cinema screens nationwide
1 lucky winner lands £30,000 to make their next film.
1 People's Choice winner takes home thousands of pounds worth of new film kit.
Plus, we reward the college or school with the most entrants with loads of shiny new kit, too.
Entering is easy. Just check out the film spec. Then upload your film. The competition closes on 28 June 2010.
About Virgin Media Shorts
Here's what happens, stage by stage:
Initial stage
1. Submit your film (Your film can be up to 2 min 20 seconds) between 12 April and until noon on 28 June 2010 online at virginmediashorts.co.uk.
2. You'll need to agree to the competition terms and conditions before submitting your work. Check the required file format and film criteria within our Film Specification guide.
3. We'll look to showcase all the competition entries on the website.
Second stage - long list
4. Next, we'll long list a number of films. If you're one of them, we'll let you know and you'll need to provide your work in its highest quality, as set out in the Film Spec, by 15 July. We will also double-check your film clearances at this point, too. You will need to have your rights forms (actors, locations and music) ready at this point to progress in the competition.
Third stage - final shortlist
5. This bit is all about getting your work on the big screen in hundreds of cinemas nationwide. In the final stage, we'll select 12 films to contend for the Grand Prize. Each of the 12 films will be transferred to 35mm print and shown on 214 cinema screens in the UK, ready to be watched by millions of cinema-goers across the country. If selected, your film will be on the big screen for 12 months, starting in September, so its important that your original film master can be transferred technically and cinematically to the cinema screen.
6. We may also show your short film:
On TV
On TV on Demand, alongside 500 blockbuster films
On mobile phones or handheld devices
On the internet, both through internet TV and by downloading it from the site
Other places we think you might benefit from extra exposure
Fourth stage - Awards (Prizes)
7. There will be two prize-winners picked from the 12 films:
The Peoples Choice
We'll give power to the people, and ask the great British public to vote for their favourite film of the 12 shortlisted online. Get your friends and families behind you or simply let your work speak for itself!
The Grand Prize
A panel of judges, including industry experts, actors and directors will select one film maker from the 12 shortlisted to win the Grand Prize. That's the winner of £30,000 film funding and the chance to work with the UK Film Council and Virgin Media to make a short film.
The razzle dazzle awards ceremony
Of course, no competition would be complete without the glitz and glamour of an award ceremony. Ours will take place mid October 2010 in London and well announce the winners then. Start planning your red carpet arrival right away!
Final stage - winners, claim your prize
8. If you were the Peoples Choice, we'll contact you after the Awards Ceremony to arrange your prize.
9. If you won the Grand Prize, Virgin Media and the UK Film Council will get in touch to sort out funding and help you work out your next idea.
If you have any questions, you can always email us at shorts@virginmedia.co.uk
