The Mill
The Mill is one of the most notable post production studios in London. While here, I was working as a runner which meant I was able to contact and communicate with all different members of the staff and get a inside view to how things happened in the industry. I was also able to get time to shadow in the 2D Compositing suite and the 3D Suite.
