AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Dear AMP Members,

TOSMI is a part of MEDIA, the European Union’s support programme for the European audiovisual industry and is designed to introduce media professionals to the benefits and possibilities of an open source pipeline in audio-video production and distribution.
The 2009 trainings will be organized and held by InterSpace Media Art Center in Sofia, Bulgaria and will cover the fields of 3D CGI, post-production, game art design, media content for the web, web TV and e-marketing. The training is based on open source software and provides skills in innovative and efficient tools and distribution channels allowing for achieving quality production and/or education process at low expenses. Therefore we believe the sessions can be of an advantage to professionals, managers and trainers in the audiovisual production and marketing.
