Bill is again working for the University of New South Wales (UNSW) as the AV Manager for the College Of Fine Arts (COFA), keeping the laboratories and studios running and assisting academic staff and students with the wide range of software and hardware that COFA uses. He brings with him 15 years of experience working for Apple as a Technical Support Engineer and later as a Systems Engineer, specialising in the Video, Broadcast and Publishing markets. Bill has been trained in Shake, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Motion, Combustion, Apple server products and Vectorworks, but is experienced in a wide range of other software packages.
Bill has worked on a review panel for the University of Wollongong Masters of Digital Media as well as spoken at the Australasian Music Business Conference. He has also acted as a consultant to Channel 7, Channel 9, and SBS. In the early days of Apple’s resurgent entry into the professional video market, Bill provided technical support for many of the Australia post-production houses such as Animal Logic, Rising Sun Pictures, and Fuel. The NSW RTA now uses Macintoshes as the point-of-sale terminals as well as multimedia driver testing stations: this Java/Director solution was developed with RTA over two years with Bill as the lead Apple engineer.
Before working for Apple, Bill was a Programmer/Engineer at the Defence Force Academy, working for the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering programming Macintoshes and learning about remote sensing, satellite images, and image processing. Before this in the early 1980s, he was a committee member of Opunka, the UNSW film group, for four years where he was able to indulge himself with showing six feature films a week, learnt how to drive 35mm projectors, and developed a critical eye for films.
