Just a sampling of the fascinating people I met and/or heard from during no my 4 days in Galway #MoJoFest last week.
I deliberated long and hard before booking my #MoJoFest (Galway, Republic of Ireland) ticket. With three days away, flights accommodation and a conference ticket to cover, not to mention taxi, bus and food... it’s a serious investment for a small (new) business.
So I’m really happy to say it was well worth it. In fact, I was happy after day one - but days two and three delivered even more... and a week on I’m still processing. I also have a little note book full of tips, recommendations and ideas for me to follow up.
Thanks to everyone involved with MoJo Fest - I really hope there’s a No6.
I recommend you follow the hashtag here and on Twitter in particular because you’ll pick up some quality tips for many forms of mobile filmmaking, apps as well as for social media.
Day one, as previously posted, heard from @waadalkateab talking about the harrowing story behind her documentary, “For Sama”; During the first afternoon I was in a pool with a group of delegates trying out underwater cases for mobiles; Day two we got 360 cam demos, and heard the latest Adobe mobile developments as well as sneak peeks on what’s coming; and the highlight yesterday was BBC mobile journalist Dougal Shaw talking about why he uses a phone rather than a traditional TV camera for his reporting.
Exhausting... but in the best possible way. Scotland needs some of this - so watch this space!
