Two postgraduate students used networking opportunities provided by their MA to open doors to their dream jobs.<\/p>\n

Now both working for Pinewood Studios Group, Jed Milton and Gianluca Romano met while studying for their Master’s in Sound Design for Film and Television last year. As students, the pair were invited to Short Sounds Film Festival where they met Glen Gathard, Head of Creative Audio at Pinewood. Glen hosted a masterclass on foley work and a networking event where Jed and Gianluca got introduced to Glen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just started talking about sound and general stuff about the industry.\u201d said Gianluca. Fast forward a few months and, having completed his studies, Gianluca was looking for a job, having moved to London to house share with other BU graduates. Jed tipped him off that Pinewood were advertising on Twitter and suggested he made an application.<\/p>\n

Glen said \u201cWhat appealed about Gianluca and Jed is that they are well-rounded individuals who both appreciated that they would have to work hard to make their way in this industry. It appears that they had been given a good grounding by their lecturers, they had the right attitude and the technical skills to back it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI started in April as a runner and it is really nice.\u201d Gianluca commented. \u201cI was asked to do a little editing work now and again and gradually built this up. At a certain point, just a few months in, they asked me to move into a Junior Sound Editor role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Gianluca and Jed are working on AAA title video game titles, designing sound effects, as well as editing the foley and dialogue.<\/p>\n

Gianluca\u2019s enthusiasm for the industry has paid off. \u201cI\u2019ve had to work a little longer when we\u2019d had deadlines. I have to be flexible, starting early and finishing late some days. However, this is a really nice environment and I am gaining really good experience; it\u2019s probably a dream come true!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
