Luke is a Studio assistant at the church studios in London.

He started the lecture by giving us a virtual tour of the studios using pictures and explained a little bit about each space. This was really interesting as it gave insight into how a studio is set up.

Luke spoke about his boss Paul Epworth. Paul co-wrote and produced rolling in the deep and Skyfall with Adele. He mentioned that paul bought the studio after it was potentially going to close.

Luke then moved on to talk about traditional studio roles. He listed them with a list of tasks associated with each role. He spoke about how each role is designed to support the one above. His position which is a studio assistant mainly consists of him keeping everything stocked up. Has to manage plugins and data storage. Luke also mentioned the roles of an assistant engineer and the engineer.

The last part of the lecture consisted of how to get a job at a studio. He spoke of what to put on a CV and the skills to list. What was very important from this was the fact he spoke about the do not’s. This was very useful as nowhere else would tell you these things.

Luke also spoke about how he got the job in the first place. He said how he was signed up to this work experience company called Miloco. Miloco had placed him there at the right time and place.

Overall this was a really useful lecture and gave some good insight into working in a studio
