International Training: U-Film Production Company in Malta

Tagged: Software, Training, Budgeting, Scheduling

In March 2014, Sargent-Disc travelled to Malta where they delivered a four day training programme in Movie Magic Scheduling and Budgeting for Production Managers, Production Assistants and Accountants from the U-Film Production Company.

The U-Film Production Company works in collaboration with the Malta Film Commission to promote Malta as a leading film location. Malta has long been recognised as a unique location for film production due to both the stunning natural geography and the Mediterranean Film Studios which is home to some of the best water tank shooting facilities in the world.

U-Film chose Movie Magic software because of their large number of American and European clients. It was important that U-Film colleagues understood and became proficient in the software being used by well known film studios and production companies worldwide.

The U-Film company provides a range of production, logistics, legal and financial services for productions shooting in Malta, ranging from lighting and camera equipment and crew hire to co-production and budget preparation.

Sargent-Disc was challenged to design an effective training course to engage the six participants who had no previous experience of Movie Magic software. Our Movie Magic software tutors designed and delivered a bespoke training programme to enable each participant to master the key features of both Budgeting and Scheduling. The course was delivered with a hands-on approach and gave the participants the opportunity to break down scripts and create budgets to become familiar with the software and its features. The training included regular Q&A sessions to ensure the training was a personalised and valuable experience.

 "The hands on approach was very useful, it put the theory into practice" - Joanne Hefny, Accountant.

After completing the training course, Sargent-Disc provided each participant with detailed course notes and resources to support them when using the software professionally and to enable them to develop their Movie Magic software skills further.

"The info provided was very clear with good examples." - Marina Budykho, Production Manager.

The course was a great success and Sargent-Disc wishes U-Film the best for their future productions.

"Everything was great! I can't wait to start using the program." - Irina Kolomiets, Production Assistant.
