Onto day 2, and we’ve enjoyed some more brilliant talks, demos and presentations – and even a games expo – throughout the day. Have a look at just a few of the events we’ve enjoyed watching and what the highlights have been so far…
Tim Exile, producer and performer of electronic music, joined us to kick off day 2 of Industry Week. His amazing demo was not only impressive for everyone watching in the audience, but interactive as he invited a student up on stage to have a go on his mixing desk themselves under his guidance. What an experience!
He really is a magician with his tech! After a few small hiccups @timexile passed on his knowledge to the audience, demonstrating with this lucky student! #IW19 pic.twitter.com/52N78nfTyl

Great insight into the making of Calibre including some unwanted snow and a series of injuries 😂👏#IW19 pic.twitter.com/Qh8MFzOIIo
Paul Warren joined us today to talk about his achievements as a sci-fi and fantasy actor. He wasn’t in costume today, but he spoke about how he’d played the part of an alien in Star Wars and even Daniel Radcliffe’s body double in Harry Potter. For our budding film actors and fantasy fans, his talk was a real treat.
