Teaching!

On the 18^th May, Nicola and I were invited to talk at the school, our Producer and Director teaches at. Matt and Alex have already spoken to students before, when they came to Nanjing for the first time back in 2006/07.

We had been asked to talk about ourselves and making a graduation film, so we put together a quick Power Point presentation to show our films and talk about our processes and stuff.

When we arrived, we were a little nervous but we were trying to keep ourselves calm by saying they’re only students and they can’t understand what we’re saying. If we say anything bad then Thom, who translated, will correct us. Outside the lecture theatre there was an official poster printed up about our talk! Cool for us to see our names!

It wasn’t so bad. I hope that the things we said were useful to them. All the boys in the class pretty much talked all the way through but the girls seemed to take in some of what we said, they were taking notes anyhow!
