Back To The BBC

Back to The BBC

This week we are in Manchester, England, running a full blown, hands-on video bootcamp for The BBC.

There are 40 producers, writers and technical people from The BBC’s Drama Unit.

They are all learning how to ‘cut the carrots’.

The lessons they are recieving are exactly the same as the lessons on NYVS.

The only difference here is that when they graduate, their work will go out on The Beeb.

So the pressure is really on here.

But if they can do this, so can you.

And broadcasters like The BBC are actively pursing the VJ model, and looking for people who can do this well.

And as the BBC goes, so will go the rest of broadcast television.
