You don't need a big budget for great content

First of all - sorry I used the word content there.

The title of this post is inspired by a video I just watched that was clearly recorded on a minimal budget. It's a great video, and a brilliant idea.

I'm a bit late to this video - it's from 'budget day 2008', and follows the adventures of Matt and Tom as they compete to see how many live news reports they can gatecrash.

Such a simple idea, but executed so nicely and to such great effect, with a bunch of friends running their 'command centre' and filming them, that it provides a better watch than (quite frankly) most entertainment programmes on our tele-visual-screens. It has brilliant moments in it - and keeps you watching over its twelve minutes because you know there might be more of them.

I'm a big advocate of student radio, and both the 'stars' of this video 'did' student radio. One of them - Tom Scott - won the Kevin Greening Award for Creativity at last year's Student Radio Awards. Out of every single awards entry in every category available - judges are able to nominate any entry they feel is suitably creative to contend for the award, so in my opinion it's a great acheivement.

And it shows - check out his website (link below) and if you get a chance, his Youtube channel.

So here's the video:

Featured in this are...Tom Scott and Matt Gray.
