A Kirklees College Creative Media student recently experienced the hustle and bustle of a professional film shoot.
Alero Megbele recently went behind the camera on set with renowned local Director Lee D Barnes and Ben Sweet from Film Buddy Online. The production gave Alero a real taste of what it takes to work in what is often a fast-paced world.
The 2nd year student was given the opportunity to capture behind the scenes footage of the production process, gaining hands-on experience that goes well beyond the classroom.
Alero said: “It was a great experience; I learnt a lot and I fancy myself a Producer. Director Lee and Ben were really superb, and the whole cast were amazing. I’m looking forward to working with them again someday.”
Ben Sweet, Founder of Film Buddy Online, said: “It’s always rewarding to have Kirklees College students gaining real experience alongside us, developing relevant skills, collaborating with industry, and working closely with their peers. Alero is a great example, with a strong eye for detail, a great attitude, and always willing to get involved.
“At Film Buddy, we’re really proud to support the students as they take their first steps towards a career in the industry.”
