I am a mature ethnic physically partially disabled lady who has had over 24 years experience in varied aspects of this industry. I am off to university next year, but do I need to get a degree to get in the industry? I will soon be doing podcasts.

💙🤍💙🤍

This podcast is so useful! Please keep making it :)

Awesome insights! Always lovely to hear more HDM puppetry stories and other cool projects. Thanks for getting Brian onto the podcast 🐒❤️

Good podcast Guys - It's a strange industry we work in. Be nice to see more locations in Caerphilly being used. Penallta Parc for one is good for forest, lakes, open ground, dark sky and quite etc and fab car parks for base with good road access etc.

Thanks for the video!

Very informative and very motivational! Thank you, I've really learnt alot!! ❤

Hello Tom, I've got a question. What websites or Facebook groups other than "People in TV: Runners" & Talent Manager, would you recommend to find job adverts?

I read about a 10-2, I didn't know that was even a thing. Does anyone even say that really? I don't like that this exists.

I want to be an Edit Assistant, I graduate in 2 months and have no idea how I am going to get there. I also got Avid Certified through my uni this year and it was free. Win Win.

What other Facebook groups or websites you recommend for scripted/unscripted job adverts??

Figuring out how to get into the industry can be so overwhelming sometimes, but this video has been super informative! Thank you

Thanks for another great video!!! Get the results you deserve = "promo sm" !!

Im just keen for a different vibe. I am living in my van full time and I’ve been hands on with so many different roles, I’m just keen to get out of mundane. I don’t have much film experience but I’m great helper and being positive energy. Im great problem solving. 🙌🙌🙌 - might give it a go if I can get hired. How much do you get paid as a runner? I have business insurance and driving license.

Useful stuff! Thank you Tom

Let’s gooooo

Really enjoyed this - such great insights. Thanks both.

thanks man

Thank you so much for making this runner series it’s so helpful

Really helpful, thank you dude. I’m a choreographer that loves film and I am adding a new string to the bow. Working my way up to AD. Thanks again, pal. 🙂👍🏻

Really enjoyable talk, really useful advice & great to hear Joe's story becoming a freelance editor!

I’m about to go to a TV shoot today and I’m thinking about talking to some of the people that work there but I’m unsure as to what to say. Do you have any advice?

Really insightful conversation, I totally agree i think in every industry storytelling is something that is valued. I am currently trying to break into the industry myself though i have quite varied experience but i am passionate about Film/TV and media production so thank you for the tips and insight, been really helpful! 😊

Was lovely hearing some of my former colleagues mentioned in this 😁 (Jenny and Jo - I used to be a PC in London radio drama too)

Thanks for the effort of doing all of these videos :)

When I worked on casualty we had afternoon tea, they brought around fruit and chocolate and crisps and stuff.

Hi Tom, I love this video you have made, the interview with James is fantastic. Last year I changed careers as I wanted to get into the industry for years and finally made the opportunity for myself. I'm consistently hunting for runner positions, using my connections and self studying along with college studying. In less than a year I have been on 5 productions and 2 were HETV, I loved ever second of it and I now am gaining more and more opportunities. It's not easy, and money is tight, but when I am on a production I learn a lot and now I'm driven to aim for 3AD for now. But I'm keen to try new areas in production.

man... BIG thanks, BIIIIIIG thanks :*

Thanks for the great video Tom, really informative.

Maaannn, to think we had conversations at uni or in Tim Hortons about the industry, KZbin etc. Keep this up Tom, you're such a inspiration and help to others!

Brilliant chat with Pete, learnt a lot from this from someone who wants to go into the editing side. Really inspiring & honest answers! 😊👏

Thank you, Tom, this is brilliant. As somone who has always wanted to work in Doctor Who, hearing from Pete Levy has been incredibly informative. Thanks both for your time!!

This was fantastic, great video Tom!

Yay! thanks for the vid

Great resource. Thank you!

So super helpful. I got mt first runner role offered today for a set day tomorrow. I'd heard of call sheets but never looked at one. I looked at it and thought I need a video to help me work some of this out 😄. And here you are

Hi Tom, Love the videos :) It would be great to hear from someone who did a career change and got into tv and how they did it. It kind of feels like if you didn't get experience at uni/when young it's impossible to get (especially when working a normal job). Is there a more sensible way to transition or do you have to take a bit of a leap of faith to get started ?

this was brilliant, thanks so much. will get onto watching the rest of the series soon!

I live around the London area and interested in doing an apprenticeship. I have researched Quite abit but it's slightly overwhelming the amount of different short courses/apprenticeships, they also seem really competitive to get onto 🥲. If I was in wales I'd definitely look at the apprenticeship scheme you mentioned in the video but if you know any other schemes around the London area or down south it would be so helpful. Thank you for the videos! X

Wow, this was brilliant thanks! I'm currently looking for my first job in the industry and your channel is a great way to prepare myself! 😊

This was really helpful, thank you Tom!

Thanks so much for this video! really helpful!

More of these!!

This is some super helpful info Tom! I found your channel through a Facebook post you did earlier today. I'm looking at breaking into the industry for the first time myself and will definitely take everything you've said on board. Thank you!

I've been wanting to watch your videos for a while, and I finally got to it, and I binged through quite a few of them today (especially the Being a Runner series), and I really appreciate that fact that they're a thing! Definitely looking forward to any future content you may be putting out, whether it more interviews, or even 'tutorials' like the How to read a Call Sheet video. :)

This channel is a great find. Good to see what people do in the industry

found this so helpful! thanks again :)

What is your shift pattern like, Monday-Friday or do you work weekends or is it just random? :) xox

Great video. Love both of your content! Thanks guys!!
