The latter two were also involved in First Light’s ‘How to’ videos we mentioned a little while back.

Each 90 second film will provide top tips for budding filmmakers looking at areas such as film structure, storyboarding, direction, camera techniques, editing and sound and lighting.

Stephen Spencer runs the Nice Monster studio and, although he’s moved down to London now, he roped in Louis Hudson, Ian Ravenscroft, Marc Silk, The Audio Suite and possibly others from around here.

Only the first one is up so far. To make sure you don’t miss the rest, subscribe to First Light’s YouTube channel.
