Video
At the end of 2008
James Muir got involved in making a few screencast videos. Inspired by laziness, these videos were intended to act as a frequently asked questions resource for friends and clients. With the added benefit that each questions would only have to answered once and then exist in perpetuity thanks to wonders of the internet. To that end the website
MakeMoreNoise was created and has received on average one thousand unique visits per month. In December James was approached by
Sonikmatter to create a series of Screencast tutorials on
Apple's Logic Pro software. He is also working with the
Miskin Theatre at North West Kent College to develop a series of video tutorials for their BTEC Music, Techinical and Theatre practitioners.
