unLTD’s Jill Theobald attended the Digital Media Production BA student showcase at Sheffield Hallam University to be wowed by the next generation of film and documentary makers, marketing and branding specialists and game designers. Here senior lecturer for digital media production Anne Doncaster tells unLTD about the newly launched Hallam Live site.
Sheffield Hallam’s Media Arts and Communication department has launched its Media Arts and Communication Degree Show on the new ‘Hallam Live’ site (www.hallamlive.co.uk).
Hallam Live contains some of the amazing work produced within the department, including animation, digital media production, games design, games art, film production, arts and cultural management, photography and many more. The site was developed by Joi Polloi, a multi-award winning digital agency based in Sheffield. Our association with Joi Polloi began in 2014 when, as senior lecturer, I invited them to become involved in my Interactive Design Module.
The current brief for the module was developed in collaboration with Joi Polloi in order to bring an industry focus and Joi Polloi have continued to have an active presence in the module ever since.
We were delighted when one of our students Chloé Carlisle was employed by Joi Polloi in 2019 – and in her role as a production coordinator, she was involved with the building of the new ‘Hallam Live’ site.
As a previous student on our course, Chloé was able to bring her experience and knowledge to the building of the site which helps to promote students in a professional setting.
Chloé has worked throughout the project with great enthusiasm with the Joi Polloi and Hallam team to ensure it was completed to our brief.
Many thanks also to delivery director Jason Devoy and all the Joi Polloi team for building us such a fantastic site to showcase the wonderful work of our graduates!
