Film Academy

One evening a few months ago I helped edit a music video for someone, we managed a first rough cut and everyone was really pleased with the result. We agreed to finish it when he had some free time in his diary, but in the mean time he asked if I would like to help out on a Film Academy for kids, explaining that it was a 3 week module that was part of a much bigger design academy covering everything from interiors to t-shirt design.
