as per title, anyone in the Multimedia industry?

just trying to guage what's going on.... what part of it is dead, what part is going strong, what sort of skills people are really hunting for, what's in short supply? stuff like that...

i've got an RMIT multimedia degree, but has yet to be used, BNWT!! :)

so yeah, if anyone knows how the industry is rolling at the moment, some insight would be great!!

From what I hear around the office, the next big thing is going to be Video IVR systems (3g Mobiles, press 1 for this, press 2 for that etc)..

All the phone companies are pushing 3g services, and soon business are going to take advantage of the new things they can do (new ways they can advertise).

Just have a look on seek.com That should give you a guage on the demand for people and skills.

I do that occasionally for graphic design... and now is the time I should be applying for another job!

3D will always be big now. Video games and movies. Can you use Lightwave 3D and Maya? Just to name a few.

There is still a market for 2D. Such as animation ie, Family Guy, Simpsons and Futarama but they at times they use some 3D animation but texture it with a 2D style / shell shade. Japanese anima the ultima in 2D animation.

Esentals = Adobe Photoshop / Illustrator. Macromedia (I think has been bought out by Adobe???) Flash and Director. If you can program then you could pretty much make games and websites but need a graphics person but if ya good at all that then ya pretty much set. Employers want some who is Multi talented, so they can save cost on hiring ppl.

I did Graphic and Multimedia design but I was always doing the graphc side of things and leaving the programing to the programers who are just nuts LOL!

Create a strong folio and have one online for ppl to view.

yea i spent 2 years studying multimedia. I think that the industry hasnt changed that much. depending on what avenue you wish to take. assuming web-design, animation. having skills in numerous programs is an advantage, i.e All if not most of the Macromedia applications / Adobe / 3dMax etc.. Flash is still big and getting bigger as the publics bandwidth grows and ability to view interactive animated sites grows. but dont forget your programming/coding skills too, HTML PHP, Javascript, CSS etc etc. as said before, get a good folio going and online one too. In the end its really a mix of having good creative skills, and being able to program. if you cant code you will not get far.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
