Mencap Training Film
[SUMMARY—Short film review of our two day youth professional training for Mencap.]
MediaSnackers provided two days multi media training for Mencap staff. The two days were fun, informative and hugely stimulating. We all went away buzzing with ideas, with increased confidence and an urge to explore areas of multi media practice that were previously new to us.

Tape Is Dead—Long Live Tape
[SUMMARY—Analogue gives way to digital.]
(GBR) The news that electrical retailer Currys will be ceasing its sales of the analogue audio tapes is another indication of the impact and dominance of digital.
Back in 1989 83 million tapes we sold and last year is was down to a mere 100,000. Only 5% of new audio systems have a tape deck although there are estimates of 500 million tapes still in circulation (how many will be home-made mixtapes).
Tape is dead—long live tape.
