This week, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to co-host a webinar on Breaking Into Post Production for The Rough Assembly. Imogen Marks (Screen Skills Editorial Trainee) and I delved into what it is like to be a Post Production Runner, where to look to find a job and we shared our favourite resources to gain insight into film editing. It was great to meet university students, school leavers, re-trainers and people who have changed careers to pursue Post!
If you would like to watch the webinar, it is now live on YouTube!
