DMEX Event 1: An Introduction to DMEX

Digital Media Exchange (DMEX) links the experience and skills of traditional media freelancers and employees with the new markets and innovation of the region’s best Digital Media companies. It offers unique opportunity for Digital Media businesses to work with, and learn from, established professionals from the television industries, sharing skills and knowledge between both sectors.
 
As part of the programme, The White Room (working with North West Vision & Media) are running a series of training events exploring some of the new & emerging digital media platforms and their potential uses in content creation. The first of these sessions will look at how free 3D animation software is revolutionising how short films can be realised, and will also introduce two 'sideline' collaboration projects that will be open to all.
