Abstract:
Games are big business. From social and mobile games to consoles the field is diverse and growing. So what is the best way to get that first gig in audio for games? How can I transfer my existing skills to interactive media? We will take a panel of today’s top creative professionals from large game studios to Indie producers and ask them what they think you need to know when looking for work in the game industry. So, whether you are already working in the game industry or just thinking of the best way to transfer your skills from film, TV or general music production to interactive media or a complete newbie to the industry, this panel is a must!
