This week's Reel Career Profile is @ashire74!Andrew Shire has been working at FRANK Digital since 1999. He is currently the Senior Colourist and Finishing Editor. Andrew grew up in the Yukon and Saskatchewan, graduating from Melville Comprehensive High School in 1992. He studied computer science, physics, astronomy, and film at the University of Regina. After university, he worked in educational computer sales in Manitoba for Advance Electronics (Professional Department). In the mid-1990s, he started his own business with his father, creating, developing, writing, and selling database software for large-scale seed sales and farming operations, as well as providing educational computer sales throughout rural Saskatchewan.Why is learning and training important?The media production industry is always changing, evolving, and innovating. Working in such a rapidly shifting industry requires new knowledge to understand how and where we all fit in. I personally spend about 5 to 8 hours each week trying to stay current, learning about what is happening in my small post-production sphere of technology (hardware, software, AI). The learning never stops. Without ongoing learning and training, the media production industry would certainly not be innovating as quickly as it has over the past few decades. It’s very exciting.Read Andrew's full profile here: filmtraining.mb.ca/reel-career-profile-series-andrew-shire/ See MoreSee Less
