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.
