Neville planning to shake up the TV and film world
A university student has used life during the first lockdown to put his business plan into action.
Masters student Neville Glean, 25, returned home from several years working as a digital imaging technician and video editor for a Londonbased media company after deciding he wanted to branch out on his own.
And he has graduated from the University of Sunderland’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a first-class Distinction.
During his course, he tapped into support from The Enterprise Place, the university’s business support facility.
Neville’ s idea creates a digital data handling platform for film content, which will control the data workflow from film creation to delivery, bringing post-production onto the production set, allowing clients to see the end results quicker.
He said: “I had been working in the film and media industry for a couple of years and in that time, I came up with a potential business idea. I had no business experience, so decided to look for ways to improve my knowledge.
“During my first term, the team from The Enterprise Place came into our lecture and talked to us about they how can help support entrepreneurial ideas; that was the start for me.
"Through their support
I’ve set up IDS, a digital data handling company for film and media productions, which will give clients a more creative flexibility by showing them a far more polished version of the film whilst they are still creating it. Nothing like this exists, I’m tapping into the latest technology which helps speed up the production process.”
