Studio & Scheduling Manager
"Oliver Maclean was on work placement with us in July 2024. We found him to be very polite, bright and friendly. He shadowed everyone from the studio runners to re-recording mixers. He was confident in team meetings and always performed whatever duties set him with aplomb.He listened to instructions well and engaged enthusiastically with myself and the team. He is also very thoughtful and has lovely manners. I think he will do exceedingly well in whatever he sets his mind to and heart on."

BAFTA
I have attended a number of events at BAFTA including:
Screenwriter's Lecture Series with Chris SANDERS
This was enormously inspiring and very funny. Chris Sanders was very open about how he started out and the opportunities he capitalised on to forge such a succesful career.
A casT and crew screening of 'THE WILD ROBOT'
On stage were the director, some of the cast, the composer and the producer who gave fascinating insights into the creative process.

Laika: frame x frame
A walk through exhibition featuring puppets, models and information on the craft of stop motion animation from all of LAIKA's filmography. This exhibition was a real eye-opener and very inspiring.
RHE ENERGISE HIGH-DENSITY HYDRO
I was lucky enough to get work experience at a startup sustainable energy company called RheEnergise where I worked with the Head of Marketing and the Designer / Animator to come up with graphics and animations. I used software including Canva, Adobe Creative Suite and Cinema 4D which was my first experience of 3d animation.

operations and finance executive
"During his time with us, Olly was able to support a range of business functions. He was able to contribute to commercial research and marketing, providing insights that supported our strategic campaigns and creating engaging questionnaires for staff away days. Most noticeably, Olly demonstrated great creativity and passion. He successfully worked both independently and as part of a team to deliver interesting and thoughtful marketing materials, including a humorous promotional storyboard around our business USP.
I have no hesitation in recommending Olly for any role requiring staff engagement, creative thinking, and research capabilities."
