My esteemed colleague (and Producer on ‘Signs Of Life’) was interviewed as an alumni of the Lansdowne Centre for Electronic Arts about his career and projects since graduation. The text below is from the site, and here’s the podcast.

The Garry Samett Interview
Written by Paul D
Tuesday, 13 March 2007
This is the first podcast (of a possible series) in which we have discussions with LCEA Alumni about work and life after their time at The Lansdown Centre for Electronic Arts. In this one we talk to Garry Samett, a graduate of the MA Design in Interactive Media course and now working on major projects at Endemol.
His success really started when he presented his final DIM project at Milia in the New Talent category. Since then he has worked on many projects for major organisations, including Hasbro, Coca Cola, EMI, BBC and Channel 4, to name but a few.
Recently he has worked with Guy Holbrow on a project for Channel 4 and the ‘Lost Generations’ series. Garry sees himself as an ideas person, often working as a producer. He is currently working on a project called ‘Signs of Life’ for the BBC, a big budget innovative online adventure.
Have fun listening to the podcast, it is about 39 minutes long. We hope to keep future podcasts to about 30 minutes. You can either download and save to your desktop then listen to the podcast on your mp3 player or you can simply listen to it in your browser .
