We began discussing our respective lines of work, and interests. Over the next 6 hours we formulated a rough structured business plan, the details of which cannot be disclosed at the moment for legal reasons, involving the distribution of high quality music videos over the Internet. Derek was busy with an internal shooting schedule, and the formation of a business plan, and financial modelling was left to me. Over the next 2 months I was in constant contact with technical, artistic, marketing and legal consultants formulating documentation. Drawing upon my history of public speaking, and technical prowess, the experience of working with such established members of a vibrant industry saw the revelation, and thorough enjoyment, of skills in communication and reseach, in an industry where clarity and accuracy are vital.
Discussions are ongoing.
Upon returning home, i2pi created 3 more animations, which were entered in a competition in Adelaide, with one placing first, and two placing second. In addition to my services in a software development role, I also maintain the i2pi network, consisting of various UNIX and Windows boxes. I studied, English, History, Computing, Math Methods, Specialist Maths, Physics, Chemistry in addition to 1st year university mathmatics. During the last 3 years of secondary school, I was an active participant in the Australian Physics Olympiad program, initally as a student, but in following years as a tutor, specialising in classical mechanics, electronics and electromagnitism. I also organised the first Victorian Junior Physics Olympiad, where I contacted schools throughout the state, and ran a series of lectures in advanced physics for year 10 students, in preparation for international competition.
