my scenic route into a DIGITAL CAREER!
dom @dombranca!
This is Dom
hes our Senior
Videographer
at Redweb
? This is all about his career journey so far, and how he ended up at a digital agency
He went to Uni in Farnham and did a BA (hons) degree in Arts and Media
The course was split into various modules, and covered a range of disciplines
He specialised in film, and directed a short film starring Leila Hoffman
Mrs. Treacher
from How Not To
Live Your Life
After graduating, he
had to move back home to
Bournemouth
but spent a lot of his time applying for film
roles in London
His first proper film job was as a Third Assistant Director for an arthouse feature film
He was also an extra in the film
He then worked on an interactive drama for Channel 4 do you recognise any of the cast?
Although he enjoyed the TV work, he wanted to do something more creative
That was when he enrolled on a masters degree at Bournemouth University
While he was
studying, he got a
job writing for a
radio production
company
And after completing his MA, Dom started doing his own video production alongside his full-time job
That was when he applied to work for Redweb, but he didnt have enough digital experience at the time
So he got that experience by working for a software company in Barcelona
The company offers solutions for retailers to sell products via live video linkup
Once the contract ended, he got back in touch with us at Redweb and was offered a job
Heres just a few examples of the work weve produced while Doms been with us
