It's been a while since I've been able to be active at Metro Screen. I've been working full time in N. Sydney as Creative Director at an ad agency. Part of the reason I was able to secure this position was a result of the skills I picked up at the Online Producer class I took with Angus Stevens, and now, in addition to doing the usual print and web design projects, I am also creating and editing video for some of our clients. I still plan on returning soon to take some more courses... it's just a matter of finding the time. Edmund O'Reilly
