This spring, the TAMK students of the Mediapolis campus have been creating something entirely new. Mediapolis, as many already know, is a media campus in Tampere, Finland, where the creative industries and technology are combined. The Tampere University of Applied Sciences students, together with the Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE and media entrepreneurs have incubated a crossmedia publishing platform called Test Chamber Mediapolis . ( www.testchamber.fi ). Test Chamber Mediapolis is a place where brave new programming ideas generated by TAMK students can be published. The Test Chamber has been optimized for today's changing media environment, where the traditional rules of television programmin and film making will be challenged and jumped over. The Test Chamber Mediapolis (or TCMP) got started from a known need: Traditional television programming has become less than interesting for part of the viewers. There have been several hits in YouTube series, but almost none of these h

TAMK thesis films, which have been completed during this school year in the DP on Film and TV, will be watched on Wednesday 27th of May at Finnkino Plevna 2.

Films: * Mielesi varjossa * Call of Lepus * Virheetön Banaani * Voitan koko maailman, mutta en sinua Emma * Retki * Pineal * Noidantuli

Brighton is a city at the South Coast of England. It is known for its beautiful seafront and the amazing small alleys with pubs and small stores. Once a year Brighton turns into the Mecca of the European music scene. The Great Escape Festival – Europes leading music festival for new music – takes over the city and brings the hottest new acts from all over to the local stages. Also this year a group of TAMK students was allowed to be part of this great experience and travelled for five days to Great Britain.   OUR THE GREAT ESCAPE - BRITAIN DIARY WEDNESDAY, 13.05.2015 It is around noon when we leave our beloved Tampere direction Helsinki airport and early evening when we land in London/Gatwick and the country of the Queen and Fish & Chips. After we get our luggage (and yes, this time nothing got lost!), we continue our travelling to Brighton. Our hotel is located next to the seafront and offers a great view to the Sussex Coast. Also Peppiina - who was coming from Leeuwarden/Netherla

What are these people looking at so intensely? The Visual design minor students from TAMK Media were on the yearly visit to Helsinki. It was supposed to be a warm day, but a chilly wind blew from the sea, and it was mostly raining. But the places we went to were still interesting. First, we visited Fjord 's Helsinki office in the city centre, and heard fascinating facts about service design. After Fjord, the group split up: one half went with Simona Vitalini to visit Brink Helsinki, while the rest took off to Töölö with Tuomo Joronen and Carita Forsgren, in order to go to the animation company Gigglebug . And that's where the image above was taken: everyone sits engrossed, watching one of the new season's animatics. Did you know that one of the fathers of Gigglebug (the character and the company) is Joonas Utti , who graduated from TAMK Media not long ago? After Gigglebug and Brink, we all met again in the old Maria hospital, at the company Muotohiomo , whose managing dir

TAMK Interactive Media student Riikka Uhmavaara took part in a logo competition for the European Commission, the E-mark U-Trust. And guess what: she came in second! In addition to that, she got a job offer from the European Commission. Not bad at all. Here's a video of the award ceremony. Congratulations to Riikka!

At the beginning of March, I started a small project by myself, creating a Music video for Petri Kiviniemi, in art Moon Dust. The idea was to create some visuals that would translate his track “Believe” into art, without being overboard with effects but still keeping the mood of the song. It was great how we ended up collaborating! Petri is working in our school everyday and I usually study/work in same room as he does. One day we commented each other’s works (his music and my animations) and we thought it would be nice idea to put them together. TAMK gives great opportunity of networking and meet people who has different skills. Collaboration in projects has been a great tool of learning for me and I think that’s what TAMK should be proud of, because it gives the chance to work with different people, from music field to animation. This was my third Music video in a year but first ever by myself! I was pretty scared of the result, but I was motivated to learn new things. At first I sta
