Interview with Robert Bach of IT & Multimedia Services - http://www.edv-mms.de - in Dresden
*
Question: Mr. Bachmann, company "Multimedia Service" provides - on demand - images for TV stations, production companies, entrepreneurs and individuals. Do you feel in your industry something of the economic upswing in Germany?
Answer: This can be relatively difficult to assess. If one starts with the customer inquiries that are made without my intervention, one can say that there are more. More often, there are now requests from regional stations. In the consumer market is also very common in demand again after the digitization of analog media (VHS, Audio CD) on CD / DVD. Whether it will be more jobs in total, is attested to by the end of the year in the books.

Question: We are looking for Media Science (UAS). Is this a profession you can in good conscience recommend a young person today?
Answer: Yes, it can I do a clear conscience. When I began in 1995 as my studies at the University of Applied Sciences Dresden, I was one of the first to have demonstrated this degree program. So I had no one to whom I would ask that question. I see it today but it was right to complete this study. It has brought many benefits to me personally, because you are working through special training both in the field of computer science and in the area of the media. In the best case you can combine both very good. If you can see today how fast the electronic media were digitized, one can understand very well that a huge knowledge needed in this area. This requires professionals this new technology can also install and use. That alone is sufficient although usually not enough. Technicians working in the media, should at least be able to use a camera to understand the cut and fit so far, also called image or tongestalterisch or registered to act. Versatility is now more than ever. Only those who understand all the relationships in these areas can hold their own in the field of new media. In this respect, this work is recommended for everyone, which today has an interest in modern information technology and enjoy being in the media industry would like to be working.

Question: On the website of "Hit-TV.eu - http://hit-tv.eu - a platform for Internet television in Zwickau (Saxony), are also shown film contributions from you. Are they mostly "blue light news" (accidents, bad weather, crime)?
Answer: No, the "blue light news" I leave that to others. I think there is enough in Dresden cameramen who can do well. It brings me so much when are the locations anyway three camera teams. Finally, all his posts for sale and usually makes only one race. The cost of producing one but in any case. If "blue light news," then you have been right outside my front door what happened be. I still have plenty of other opportunities and concentrate mainly on issues that are otherwise rather neglected. For Hit TV is not bad, because to be with the Internet TV, too marginalized "supplied" and topics are offered, not necessarily just to see on each channel. To cite just one example: I'm a big motorcycle fan, and have produced at almost every event from local clubs to contribute. The results achieved by this particular audience polling numbers have been some positive surprises.

issue for young people is certainly a cameraman's dream?
Answer: If I could imagine already, that is so. After all, one has the option to be a lot, always turn on current events - maybe even its own stars to experience first hand times what others only dream of the stage. But these are the pleasures that can be seen first. As with any profession, there is also the cameraman activities that are routine. If you then for the umpteenth press conference must, with topics which have a personal interest not so, again merely "writing hand" and overhead projectors, allows authenticity because there is nothing to see ... Should also bear in mind that we ran in this job needs to wind and weather. Recent events in the message pane asks never send to know how to feel this especially if it rains in torrents out there, whether you frostbite in the winter at minus 20 degrees and ice cold wind hands on the camera or whether the summer at plus 35 degrees in the shade of heavy machinery by will drag area. You have to be just there, at any time day or night - whether one likes it or not! Who wants to have regular working hours, which should give up the job better.

Question: Among your many services in addition to films about current events and promotional films about firms to make presentations at trade shows, and the documentation of events (corporate event, wedding, birthday). What kind of movies will from your customers / internal desired the most?
Answer: At the most it had been wedding films. For this unusual occasion like wedding couples have a great memory for later life. Just as they get from the photographers snap shots, like many have stated this most important day of their lives in moving image and sound. Further documentation will be requested very frequently. However, this benefit of private individuals rather than recourse. Most people probably think that they can shoot with their own camera. Today almost everyone has a video camera. That this includes a bit of experience to produce a film can be demonstrated, forget the very many.

Question: Other than your service as director of photography, you also offer an IT service. What are your major achievements?
Answer: The IT Services include installation services, above all, such as networks or servers in Linux. In addition, all benefits associated with IT infrastructure. The combination of the corporate network to the Internet and access the Internet to the company network are also included. The establishment of Internet access or Internet phone to play an important role.

Question: Does your IT service also benefits that can be taken by private parties?
Answer: Yes, it is even mostly the case. It is mostly residential customers who have problems with their PC. These range from damaged hard drives on installation and setup of application software to short training courses. Once someone wanted to know how to cut to the PC and video DVD's created. Since I could not of course to be well and have noticed that this is but a special service, offering many PC emergency services can not. Most often, however, is lately the establishment of Internet access requested. Apparently that's not always as easy as many providers promise you. Does the connection, customers are often "in the rain" allowed to stand, no matter whether the customer computer to the Internet is now or not. Then, the computer service is needed.
