The trophies were shared around the capital at this year’s RTS London Student Television Awards, held at the Magic Circle.
The London College of Communication (University of the Arts London) performed best, picking up three awards. The Factual: Short Form winner, Outsiders, was praised by the judges for its camerawork and “gentle and haunting soundtrack”.
The London College of Communication also won two Craft awards: Editing for Aivaras Gedvilas on The London I Saw, which was “expertly edited ensuring a high tempo of pace” and Sound for Tom Fredrickson and Martha Bryant on Chalk, which boasted “a cleverly designed soundscape”.
RTS London Chair Phil Barnes said: “Excitement filled the air during this year’s awards, presented by up-and-coming magician Chris Dodd. The quality of the submissions was impressive, and it was reassuring to witness that the students entering the industry were well-prepared.”
