WORK PLACEMENT FEEDBACK
 
From students
I had a wonderful experience at Lime Pictures, I learnt a huge amount about storylining and realised this is the area I want to go into once my MA is over.
 
They were very good in helping to answer my questions on all things sound.
 
From industry
She was fantastic – she gelled with the team very well and picked everything up incredibly quickly.
 
We really appreciated your student's time, dedication and creative input. She is a very talented filmmaker, thus it has been a great privilege to have her around.
 
Working with your student has been a positive experience for us. He certainly has been very professional in his dealings with us and was always on time and ready with all equipment on the days we needed him.
