In Newcastle, The Sky’s The Limit


Back to Newcastle

This week Lisa and I are running a VJ bootcamp with Sky, the UK broadcaster.

We’re in Newcastle, in Northern England where Sky is going to launch a local broadband based television (if that’s the right word) station.

It’s going to be entirely VJ-supplied and we’re here to train the VJs on how to work on their own, but more to the point, on how to deliver excellent content every single time.

Yesterday they were busy cutting the carrots.

Today, Fluffy May Die!
