As we were coming to the end of the second year at university I began thinking about what I could do over the summer, as I decided I wanted to try and do something every summer to gain experience while studying. I spoke with my godfather who worked for the Sheffield Eagles Rugby club at the time and he told me about some work that the marketing area of the club were thinking about doing. He put me in contact with the marketing manager who told me that they were looking to make 'an introduction to rugby league' video for the club to attract and inform new fans. I jumped at the chance, despite not knowing anything about rugby! I worked with the manager for almost 4 months on developing the idea, the planning, the shoot, the editing and the audio and I loved working with a client as I would if I was a full time freelance film maker.
The video was a big success and I received great praise and feedback from the marketing manager and from everybody at the club who saw it. It really boosted my confidence to know that I could make something good enough for established companies after only my second year.
