Transcript
00:00You introduce yourself to the people watching, what's your name, where are you from?
00:17My name's Albert Huey and I'm from Ireland.
00:20And what are you here for, the BMVS?
00:22I got nominated for Best Cinematography.
00:25And you won.
00:26How does it feel to win?
00:27It's amazing.
00:28I'm really delighted and there are such like other amazing videos there and it's really
00:33great to win with like such amazing talent.
00:37You're the director of photography for the video.
00:48What about this video and the photography direction do you think sets it apart from
00:52the other work you've done this year?
00:55I think like the biggest thing was like the idea that Wolf James had, it was just so strong
01:01that it, yeah, it was just like lent so well to cinematography and like different ideas
01:09and techniques that we could use.
01:10And then like John Cutler, the editor, just I think he almost elevated my work beyond
01:16what it actually was.
01:19And yeah, so it's just like a really great team and good task like working with Donald
01:24Gleeson was unreal.
01:36If there's, if there's young people who are interested in getting into, or other people
01:40interested in getting into what you do, do you have any advice for them?
01:45And I'd say just keep shooting and that's the best advice I was ever given.
01:50And just keep doing the stuff.
01:52You know, you have iPhones in your pocket, so you can do it with that.
01:54You don't need a good camera, even though like everything is becoming more accessible.
01:59So just keep doing it.
02:01Could you maybe describe the atmosphere of the whole event today?
02:04I know you only got in this morning, but the atmosphere is amazing.
02:08It's a really good vibe and it seems really fun, it's really relaxed.
02:12All the people seem really nice.
02:14It's just a general good vibes.
02:16It's my first time in Berlin as well, so I'm really...
02:18Oh, okay.
02:19Welcome.
02:20Welcome to Berlin.
02:21Thank you very much for that, Anthony.
