Work with real clients
Two of our talented Media students recently completed a video project for Fosbery Studio, a decorative lighting studio in Kent.
Angus and Dylan led the production, from planning the story, filming on location, and editing a short film that captures the design and craftsmanship behind the company’s Cascade wall light.
Client-facing projects like this reflect what it’s like to work in creative media, and the two have gained valuable experience.
