announce the release of EP

improvements and features
include:
Improved backwards
compatibility with Movie Magic

Short Film
Summer School July 6th to 9th 2005
As part of Sargent Disc's training
initiative, there will be an
introduction to the latest
releases of EP Budgeting and
EP Scheduling at the Short Film
Summer School (SFSS). The
SFSS is a non-profit event,
taking place at the Curzon Soho
Cinema over 4 days from the 6th
to the 9th of July 2005. The
SFSS will provide training and
skill-building opportunities,
workshops, showcases,
presentations, master classes
and networking opportunities for
filmmakers of all abilities and
ages. Call now to book your
place on 0207 7342255.
Admission prices vary:

me feel the students were
motivated by their studies. This
isn't surprising when you
consider the list of names that
have been through the NFTS.
These include Oscar winning
director Nick Park and the
American Film Institute
Cinematographer of the Year
2002 Roger Deakin.
During my visit I had a chance to
see some of the current intake
on set shooting a short film.
Students regularly show their
work at film festivals, winning
numerous awards and in the
process getting the opportunity
to meet with people already
working in Film and TV. They
benefit by making contacts that
help them to make the transition
after graduation. However, as
you might expect from any good
academic institution it is not all
work, work, work. As I prepared
to leave the students were
gearing up for a party in the
student bar!

SD Training Survey
For many years Sargent Disc
has provided training to
seasoned professionals and
newcomers to the Film and TV
industries.
We provide training in conjunction
with industry bodies such as the
BECTU, PGGB and the NFTS,
running courses in payroll,
accounting with EP VISTA and
also Movie Magic and EP
Budgeting and Scheduling. Over
the past 2 years we have
undertaken a survey, asking all of
our trainees to complete a
questionnaire about the
relevance, content and tuition
provided.
When asked why they had chosen
the course, answers varied, but
the predominant theme was that
as industry professionals our
trainees were looking to update
their skills and improve their
confidence. Some courses had
been recommended by colleagues
or by an institution such as the
BBC. However, many first time
trainees using a new piece of
software wanted to see what the
programs were capable of doing
and felt they would be better
informed by doing an introductory
course.
"The course was very easy to
understand and very
informative"
When asked whether or not the
students found our courses very
useful, useful, quite useful or of
limited use, we were pleased to

Have you ever wondered why
your PC takes a long time to
start up? Do you get frustrated
when you have to wait forever to
open a large file? Do you dream
of a fast, reliable PC?
SD-TEC can help!
Our qualified engineers can do a
full health check on your existing
machine and advise you how best
to reconfigure your Operating
System or your hardware to get the
most improvement from your
existing machine. If you decide to
act on our advice we can quickly
make all the changes needed to
make your PC run smoothly.
If you are looking for a completely

from the ground up based on your

motivated by their studies. This
isn't surprising when you
consider the list of names that
have been through the NFTS.
These include Oscar winning
director Nick Park and the
American Film Institute
Cinematographer of the Year
2002 Roger Deakin.
During my visit I had a chance to

Students regularly show their
work at film festivals, winning
numerous awards and in the
process getting the opportunity
to meet with people already
working in Film and TV. They
benefit by making contacts that
help them to make the transition
after graduation. However, as
you might expect from any good
academic institution it is not all
work, work, work. As I prepared
to leave the students were
gearing up for a party in the
student bar!
