The first Media and Arts Entrance Exams!

The Fine arts exam is starting on the 3rd floor of the Finlayson campus

Last year, our TAMK Media programme was organized into two main study paths for the first time: Interactive media and Music production. This year, our programme expanded with the study path of Fine Art. Also, the name of the programme changed to Media and Arts, and the total annual intake increased from 30 to 48 students. Twenty study places are aimed for the study path Interactive Media, 14 study places for Music production and 14 study places for the study path of Fine Art.

As a result of this transformation, we invited for each study path 144 applicants in total. These applicants had got best points at the pre-tasks, prior to the entrance exams. And last week, these 144 people came to the entrance exams arranged on the 23rd and 24th of April, 2014.
 
This year, we had about ten first choice applicants per seat (almost 500 in total). This is a good result and tells that our applicants were applying to one the most wanted study places in the whole of TAMK.
Our entrance exam had three parts: An interview to recognize motivation and suitability, a pitch to identify the ability to generate original ideas and promote them, and design assignments to see how creative our applicants are.
Our lecturers are analysing the input over the next few days, and all scores are double checked.
Thank you to the student assistants for organizing practical issues during Exams, and thank you to all the applicants who showed us their your potential and talent!

Skábma game project

“The story of Skábma is based on the Sámi mythology of The Celestial Hunt. The Celestial Bull Reindeer, Sarvvis, has been hunted through the ages by the Sons of Kalla from the constellation of Orion. If the hunters succeed in killing Sarvvis, the world will die. In the game, a young Sámi child, Áilu, gets mixed up with this endless hunt and accidentally initiates the end of the world.“ Students have been working hard over the summer with various projects and internships. One project in focus is project Skábma – Polar Night, originally titled “Kaamos.” A project which began during a game minor module in 2015, has now been developed into a fully-fledged project. The initial project was too big for the students to finish and they were unable to reach their goals. However, everything has a silver lining. Red Stage Entertainment then picked up the project several years later and are now working with some of the original creators. Skábma is a 3D low-poly game developed in Unity. The team of
