Aperture Films asked me if I was able to go and work with them in New Mexico as follow up work to a previous project I worked on with them in December 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Obviously, when they asked me, my immediate response was yes! I was eager and excited, but I was also a little anxious, as it would be only the second time I’d flown alone. I made my flights and travel arrangements around 3 weeks before the actual day of travel, which is cutting it fine, but made the whole experience even more exciting! On Friday 8th February I travelled to Heathrow airport in London in readiness to fly to Dallas, Texas, to meet up with the crew from Aperture Films. We would then travel together to Roswell, and then to Carlsbad, New Mexico to work on the set for a film they’re about to start filming for the US National Park Service.
This is me as PA and BTS working with Aperture Films
I graduated in Media Production and almost immediately walked into an internship with a leading London-based production company. I must have made an impression because that resulted in being commissioned to do freelance backstage footage editing for The X-Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and The Apprentice. Much of this video production work was delivered in London. Since then I’ve put my knowledge and experience into providing a value for money videography service to businesses and private individuals alike – with my work now ranging from weddings through to single camera corporate videos.
The Lincoln School of Media is hosting the first ever Lincolnshire Film Academy, in association with CfBT Education Services, funded by the British Film Institute, and with support from a range of top industry professionals, including Electric Egg
18 young people from around the region have been selected to participate in 9 weeks of intensive training, seminars and workshops on film production at the end of which they’ll have produced their own high quality film using our own HD TV Studio and some amazing new kit. They will all also have the chance to apply for the national Talent Campus being held at the National Film and TV School over Easter. Read more about the scheme. Continue reading

From Sarah Barrow:
Last year 3rd year Lincoln student Kenny van Mierlo came 1st in the UK and 2nd in Europe for the short film/video category of the Young Creative Chevrolet competition.
In order to help students enter the competition again this year, the organisers have contacted us to say that for the first time, they’re adding an extra dimension to YCC, with a programme of on-campus ‘in-discussions and talks’, giving students in registered universities the chance to listen and pose questions to media and industry experts in their discipline.
They want these events to be dynamic and inspirational and ultimately rewarding. They asked whether we might be interested in being the university in which to hold the video talk during the week commencing March 11th … of course we said yes! The date and location will be confirfmed shortly.
So watch this space! For this year’s competition, see the details here.
