Creative Industries in Leeds

In Leeds there is a variety of creative industries that can help me in my education and my future job prospects, especially with the Yorkshire Content fund which is pumping 15 million pounds into creative industries in the area.

 One of these things is Light Night, which is something I actually attended. For one night a variety of performances were happening all around Leeds, including interpretive dance, collaborative art activities and NES era video games being projecting onto the walls of buildings. I was a really interesting event to attend and I would definitely like to go again next year.

Other creative industries include Munroe house, which is being set up to contain a variety of creative companies. It will also be available for use to brand new start-up companies and to use as performance space.

There are over 723,000 people working in Games, Software development & Electronic publishing in the UK but only 60,000 working in Video, Photography and Film. This is great for people wanting to work in the games industry, but not fantastic for me, who wants to work in animation.
