From Rebecca Weaver:
I graduated from Lincoln in 2010. In 2011 I was lucky enough to get onto the Vision Intake Pool scheme at the BBC (now known as the Production Talent Pool [Ed])
The scheme is coming up again and is open for applications on the 6th February 2012. It’s also a little different this year with three categories to choose from, rather than two, these being: Runner, Production Management Assistant (TV) and Production Management Assistant (Radio). Continue reading

Check out my a new project with Proof where we’ll be working with Vimeo Staff to promote a joint initiative called ‘Laptoptag’.

In September 2010 I graduated with a 2:1 in Media Production. In the midst of rising graduate unemployment, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get a job in television. Little did I know that a year later I would achieve my first TV Credits as ‘Offline Editor’ for a new children’s TV series: Cartoonito Tales.

My journey from university to working life has not been easy, having spent 20 months living on sofas and busking to make money, however if you want to do something bad enough, then you’ve just got to do it.
I went to university with two aims, to be as creative as possible and meet loads of people on the same wavelength as me. At the time I had come from an art background with a small amount of experience in Video production. Throughout the first two years of the Media Production Bachelors Degree I began to develop as a creative thinker.
Stewart MacGregor, RTS award winner
From Sarah Barrow, Head of School:
We have received some great news from Stewart MacGregor, BA Media Production graduate of 2010, member of the team that made ‘Northmen‘ and ‘Greasepaint‘ (Regional RTS winner last year).
After attending the cinematography admissions workshop at the National Film and Television School last week he has just been informed that he’s been accepted on to MA in Cinematography. This is fantastic news for him and for Lincoln School of Media as further evidence of the high calibre of our students and our provision.

I know people who’ve swept floors, blown up balloons and bought everyone’s lunch at some studios, for no pay and little respect. Honestly, some internships are nothing short of slave labour and unpaid internships should be made illegal.
From Head of School Sarah Barrow:
We’re thrilled to announce that this year we have received 3 Regional Award Nominations for student final year film & animation projects produced during 2009-10.
