A Bright Spark


Recently, Jude Wenlock Simpson, HND TV Production Year II, worked on the production of feature film F, due to be released Spring 2010. Jude said, “I found this job through web sites given to me by my WKC lecturers - a three week paid shoot in a college in Cambridge with the 40 cast members and crew.” He explains, “It’s a horror film about a college where students go on a rampage towards teachers. I was a “spark” similar to a runner but works in the lighting department.”

“My main interest is lighting and camera and WKC tutors have definitely enhanced my skills. Our course offers a lot of freedom, where we put across an idea and we are left to film. We can run with our ideas and can be extremely creative yet we still receive expert advice and tuition. It’s almost like being on an extendable lead!”

“I have compiled an extensive portfolio from this course and now have about 15 pieces of work including one short film, two feature films and an untold amount of music videos. I’d like to progress to work on a 3rd year top up. I am thinking of studying at Canterbury Christ Church University.”
