OUGD602 Making London event

Finally, Dylan and I got to go down to the Making London event and see our work up and around the venue.  The event itself was split into two different styles of speakers, individual speakers and four panels.  The train which Elephant Room got for me arrived at 10.30am which was an hour and a half after the event started.  I asked if I could get there earlier as I didn’t want to miss any of the event but unfortunately the only train they could get was an off-peak train and this was the earliest one they could get.  Despite this, it was an amazing event with some really interesting and thought provoking presentations.

I made it for the first panel which was lead by Justin Gignac, the co-founder of Working Not Working, who discussed the ever changing world of technology and its effect on the creative industry.  The panel consisted of Rafe Offer, the founder of Solar Sounds which focuses on secret music events that were specially curated that aim to give it’s audiences diverse shows.  Ibrahim Kamara, the co-founder of the world’s first video magazine called GUAP Magazine.  Jyoty Singh, the brand partner manager for Mixed Cloud and DJ Rinse FM.  My favourite of the group was Andrea Moccia who is the producer for Secret Cinema, which focuses on creating movie experiences for new releases that puts the audience into the film.  Probably his best known event was for the Force Awakens which had people interact and live in the Mos Eisley town which was an amazing experience of which I was unable to obtain a ticket for, which was unfortunate.
