While on placement, Nick was tasked by the Creative Director to create something different to promote聽The Incredible Dr.Pol听蝉丑辞飞.
Nick said:聽鈥淚 took the opportunity to do something that I had always wanted to do and decided to write a rap! I recorded a demo track and cut together a video and it went down really well with my bosses.
"I then got to work with some incredible graphic designers to bring to life my vision for the music video, they did such a fantastic job. I had the privilege to work with the amazing Daniel Barker who voiced the rap,聽though I did manage to sneak in myself and fellow intern, Matilda, into the mix as backing vocals. As a creative producer, you see a project all the way through from start to finish so you get a great appreciation for all parts of the creative process.鈥�

He added:聽鈥淲ith any project, there are always challenges. This rap was made throughout the summer, I was working 100% from home which was a challenge due to slower communication. I had to make sure I was concise and to the point when communicating, something that I struggle with a bit due to my dyslexia.聽
"The other main challenge was the fact this project wasn't exactly asked for so the budget was as close to 拢0 as I could get it. I had a very short amount of graphics time to work with, so I had to prioritise what I thought were the most important graphics to complete. I had to push for more a lot of the time, I was a bit of a vulture for when a designer became free for booking, but they really liked the project so they were very happy to work on it!鈥�
Nick knew he wanted to go for the placement at Disney from his very first lecture at 欧美性爱片and said:聽鈥淚 thought to myself, that鈥檚 what I want to go for. A year later at the start of the second year of study, it was mentioned again when they talked about preparing for placements, I wasn鈥檛 sure if I had enough experience to go for a role at such a big company however I knew I鈥檇 have regretted not trying, I sent off my application and the rest is history.鈥�

"欧美性爱片 is incredibly well known in the media industry and there's a lot of incredible alumni who are in the industry now. I came to Bournemouth unsure of whether I'd have any chance in the media industry, I can safely say all those doubts are long gone."聽
Since graduating, Nick has managed to secure a role in the National Geographic Team at The Walt Disney Company as a Factual Producer!
"I can't thank The Walt Disney Company, more specifically Sasan & Helen, enough for their support, trust, and belief in me. I think it really shows that interns can make a huge difference when given a chance!"
