Week Twenty One
25th February - 2nd March 2007
Well work experience at the Beeb is over and what an enjoyable couple of weeks it was. It really suprised me just how relaxed the working environment is in their New Media department. I had expected a chaotic mass of stressed out people, but it all seemed very chilled out. In fairness it may have just been a quiet period.
Well the Belonging site (or at least a couple of pages of it) were delivered to Osian the lead developer and he was pleased with my efforts. It was really satisfactory to produce a piece of commercial work to a standard that was acceptable for the likes of the BBC.
I've learnt a heck of a lot this week about CSS and HTML. My structuring has improved greatly and it was reallu interesting working in that kind of environment. The restraints on creativity in the BBC are quite heavy because of the accesbiloity standards they must adhere to, and it was interesting to see how they got around these problemss.
We were also given a tour of the Motion Graphics department which was awesome. They have a huge badass Flame Workstation,the newest in the country, and it's an awesome bit of kit. Very exciting for a Filmand TV geek to see. Editing rocks.
So that's that for the Beeb. The next two weeks will be spent writing up a huge and nasty amount of documentation. So I guess I should make a start, right after this beer.....
