Uncle Sean returns to Solent
A familiar face dropped in recently to share industry insight with final year Broadcast Systems Engineering and Television Production Technology students. 
He may not quite be the father of media technology but Sean is certainly something akin to an uncle. He was there at its inception and has been a key player throughout its formative years.
Sean now works as an independent broadcast training consultant at Mediatech Training and is Education Director (Academic) for the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
Last week Sean came to share some of his industry insights with final year Broadcast Systems Engineering and Television Production Technology students. He introduced us to media asset management processes and implementations based on a recent case study of Turner Broadcast. The session put many of the theoretical concepts from the unit into context and highlighted some of the challenges still facing companies that are implementing these complex and often proprietary systems. It was great to hear from Sean and the students found the session very insightful.
