Transfer of UKFC responsibilities to BFI & Film London
John Newbigin, Chair of Creative England, says: “Creative England supports the BFI and Film London, as they take on the responsibilities for funding and support for film in the UK from the UK Film Council. We also thank the UK Film Council for its commitment to the English regions over the last decade.
“By setting up the network of regional screen agencies in 2002, the UK Film Council demonstrated that it clearly recognised the importance of local decision making rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. This bold move empowered the regions, and the agencies have gone on to successfully build talent, skills, businesses, exhibition and audience engagement in their local industries, bringing forward new and exciting voices from all corners of the country.
“We welcome this next iteration as Amanda Nevill and the BFI embark upon a new stage in developing the landscape of British film, and we are pleased to see that experienced producer Iain Smith will be guiding the British Film Commission Advisory Board at Film London. Creative England looks forward to working in partnership with both bodies to support the film industry on the ground locally in the English regions, building on the excellent work of the RSA’s to date, whilst backing the wider spectrum of creative industries.”
About Creative England Creative England is the new body that will support the growth of the creative industries in England. Once operational in October 2011, it will support the content industries of Film, Television, Games, and Digital and Creative Services. It will be based in three hubs which will operate from Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester, and its activities will cover all the English Regions. For more information visit www.creativeengland.co.uk.
The seven regional screen agencies outside London are currently working together to reform into the Creative England network. In the meantime, if you have queries about regional funding, production, locations, skills, training, audience development or exhibition, contact your local regional screen agency, listed at www.creativeengland.co.uk/contact.
Get 5 GB Free Online Storage on Amazon Cloud Drive
Cloud computing and online storage is now a days more preferable option than having another hardware. Amazon has launched an online storage service named “ Amazon Cloud Drive ” where they are offering 5 GB of free storage. That means, you can store files and folders having pictures, videos, documents etc. up to 5 GB in Amazon Cloud Drive without paying anything to the company. If you want more space, then you can pay $1 per GB per year to get that in no time.
Amazon Cloud Drive is using Amazon’s other web service named “ Amazon S3 ” in the backend to store files and folders. Cloud Drive is jus the front end of that popular online storage system.
Benefits of Amazon Cloud DriveThere are plenty of advantages of using Cloud Drive. As Amazon is fully aware that there are lot many online storage services available in the market and they too are offering free space, then it will be difficult to sustain if you don’t come up with new features, options and offers. That’s why they unveiled Cloud Drive with lot many offers and extra features. Here are few of them,
Maximum file upload size is 2 GB where other services are offering less. For example, Dropbox which is a popular data storage and synchronization service offers 300 MB per file size as upper limit. There is no transfer-in and transfer-out charges. Very straight pricing structure. Cloud Drive is also having a Cloud Player to play your stored or purchased MP3 songs directly from storage Compare Amazon S3 and Cloud DriveAmazon S3 is the back-end of Amazon Cloud Drive but of course the Cloud Drive is much easier to handle and maintain. The web based upload option is easy to use and understand for end users and this will help Amazon to reach non techy people for online storage. Pricing of Cloud Drive is much cheaper than Amazon S3 as there is transfer-in and transfer-out charges in S3 which is not there in Cloud Drive. For 20 GB storage in Cloud Drive, you will be charged $1.75 per month where the same amount of storage will add more than $4.50 per month if stored on Amazon S3. This way you can understand the difference between the pricing of these two services. The maximum space available in Cloud Drive is 1,000 GB which is sufficient for personal use as well as for limited professional use.
Start keeping backup of your important documents, pictures, videos etc. on Amazon Cloud Drive.
