HARD work came to fruition for IT Tralee Multimedia students who got a chance to showcase their final year projects in the North Campus on Thursday night.
14 multi disciplinary projects went on display by students who completed the BA Honours courses in, Interactive Multimedia, TV and Radio, Music Technology and Computing with Games Development.
“We try to replicate what the industry wants in the real life environment” said Mary Lucey of IT Tralee computing department.
Students with multi disciplines work in teams to produce the final year projects. The type of work on display ranged from instillations, to 3D modelling and mapping, films, gaming and animation.
An immersive installation based on projection mapping by Declan Cleary, Stephen Cloon, Hubert Kloskowski and Micheal Beckett was one of the real stand-outs on the night.
“The whole idea is that this event will showcase the work that the students do, it’s also giving potential students who want to study the program an idea of what they would be producing if they studied some of this program. It also allows industry to see the skill-set students are graduating with so they can get ideas on how these skills can be used in there particular industries as well” said Mary Lucey.
