Losing my dad was tough, but he still brings out the best in me. I think about who he was, and how it inspires who I want to be. He was calming, generous, thoughtful, encouraging, and genuine. And I am trying, not be be him, but to embody what people loved so much about him so that I could have as rich a personality as he did for those around me.

The hidden successes of iOS 12: My three unsuspected challenges

MA project: The alternate introduction
Something I discussed in a previous blog post was a need for varying introductions to each of the videos I'm producing. I filmed these today, in the television studio at university.

This is something I'm keen to explore as part of the video, where the videos begin hidden from view and are made available throughout the primary video.
