LEEDS! It's about time we heard the Leeds accent on youtube!

Well done for getting to experiance all that. I hope more opportunities pop up for you. :)

You like the Leeds accent? Are you from Leeds?

I'm quite lucky to have been invited back to Hull again on the 10th, this time as a vision mixer!

I am also helping you a LS:TV (a university TV channel) so all is good at the moment! :)

[CWAGGY]

I am from Leeds yes. I actually started vlogging but my net is pretty rubbish and they never upload... Either that or Youtube doesn't like me. :P

I'm chuffed for you dude. Keep up the good work :)

noooo the orange light fairy got you too!!!

glad you've been doing awesome stuff.

for a moment i thought you'd said 'its not everyday you get to stay in hull' and were going to leave it there it would have made me sad

[lukeb3000]

Yep the orange light fairy got me :( I have started to try to colour correct my work though.

It isn't everyday that I get to stay in Hull! ^_^

Luke, that's amazing !

How did you find out about that opportunity ?

[Thisisace]

And is it you on the camera to the left side of the stage ?

[lukeb3000]

It most certainly is I got promoted from camera assistant to camera operator! :)

[lukeb3000]

Yes it was an amazing experience.

I have been going out to different technology events through out Yorkshire to film them (Just personal not commercial work)

At one of the events a pro camera crew had been hired so I went over to chat and say Hi (made a joke about how there tripod was bigger than mine!)

The next day they got in touch and said they were looking for a camera assistant next week and would I be interested?

I said YES!!! I think I am doing some more work in November for them :)

[Thisisace]

Luke, that's brilliant.

In an industry as competitive as media, that's the only way really to get in. Experience like this will, of course, be incredibly useful too.

[lukeb3000]

Thanks Andrew,

It's always brilliant to hear positive feed back from other people! :)

Hopefully at some point, I will be able to make a career out of it (fingers crossed!)

[Veganluke]

Wow sounds like you are doing some good stuff :D

[lukeb3000]

Thanks, it's been great to have been given this opportunity, I am hoping to build on this and hopefully get the chance to do even more good stuff!

Amazing stuff.

[lukeb3000]

I know! I hope I get more chances to work professionally with video, I just need to build on what I have learnt and hopefully find some more work!
