After identifying critical skills gap in its report, Skills for Immersive Content Creation (Bennett, Murphy Jan 2020), and an urgent need for immersive talent to drive production innovation in media, StoryFutures Academy devised a Bootcamp and Placement programme to help plug these gaps and give the industry much needed momentum and a way of overcoming a major barrier to growth.
Bootcamp & Placement
Steve, an established Creative Director with over 15 years’ experience in TV, advertising and marketing for companies including Sky, MTV and News International, took part in a StoryFutures Bootcamp for Producers and Directors, and secured a placement with REWIND on a ground-breaking project for the BBC. He brought his new (and old) creative skills to the world famous brand, Top Gear for its first ever attempt at VR with “Buckle Up!” putting audiences in the driving seat of their stunt car via 360 filming. It was hugely successful, for BBC, for REWIND and for Steve’s career as he gained invaluable insight into VR workflows and technologies and he became the go to for multi-camera 360 directing! The placement supported over 50 jobs on set, and invaluable knowledge exchange for the REWIND and BBC teams.
