Myself as a Creative Practitioner
I created this a few years ago while at University but I still feel it's relevant today.

My aim is to do it all via my iPhone so I've been looking at what's available in the App Store and researching other users experiences with video editing apps.
As per usual Apple's iMove seems to be a favourite along with an app called ReelDirector priced at £2.99 and £1.49 respectively. Before buying an app I always like to look at the free alternatives.
Introducing Splice, a free video editing app (which also has a premium version priced at £2.49)
My initial thoughts are that it's incredibly simple and easy to use with quick export times for your edited videos.
The downfalls of the app include no 16:9 HD export, just standard 4:3 and limited title designs (black background and white Arial text)
Below is an example video edited using the app.
I do think a paid app looks to be my best option for more customisation.
Although I can't say that I work in the building pictured above, I can say I don't work too far from it!
With it now being over a week since my immersion into the London lifestyle I thought it would be good to give an overview of what I've been experiencing down her in The Big Smoke!
Moving down the weekend before starting a new job in never easy but in my case it was and everything has run really smoothly. Having London on your door step is just brilliant! You get to quickly realise how important Oyster cards are too.
With regards to my new job I'm working as an in-house Junior Web Designer & Developer for the Evangelical Alliance in London. It's a Christian charity organization resourcing, networking and representing members by giving them a voice in parliament. They roughly have 28,000 individuals, 3,300 churches and 750 Christian organization within their network.
So as their 'in-house' Web Junior you'd think I'd be just be working on the same site day-in and day-out, but no, thankfully I'm not.
The resources the Alliance provides to its members includes a variation of content from sub sites, emails, newsletters and most importantly their Idea magazine.
I've therefore been touching up some images and graphics for newsletters banners, social media pages, editing videos and redesigning certain sub sections of one of their sub brands. I'm also helping to develop some wireframes for the new site they're currently trying to redesign.
As I'm only in a web team of two they're currently outsourcing the initial design and development of their new website however my aim is to get more of it done in-house to limit costs.
Come September I'll be also working on a project to design and develop a site aimed at 18 - 30 years old and have been selected as a possible project manager for a smaller job advertisement board site too.
For me this shows that not all in-house jobs that you may see are as boring as you first think they are.
All in all I'm enjoying London as it's a great place to live. I'm enjoying the job, building up professional experience and although my blogging may dry up a little, I am exactly where I want to be - A Multimedia Graduate working as a Web Designer in London.

Just a quick website that I've produced for my brother-in-law. He's a driving instructor down in Yeovil, Somerset.
Last week myself and 8 other Multimedia Graduates from Nottingham Trent University had the privilege of exhibiting our work at New Designers
For a good round up of the New Designers exhibition have a read of Stephen Greig's Blog Article
You can take a look at the work exhibited by our Multimedia Graduates on New Designers. I also now have a profile on ArtsThread in connection with exhibiting in New Designers
