Luke Wright produces a You Tube success during his Graphic Design studies in Brighton
15 Aug 2013
Degree student on University of Brighton's Graphic Design course Luke Wright and his twin brother Ollie made a short film in March 2009, showing Luke beetling down Brighton's slopes to the sea, aboard a half-pipe on a skateboard.
The film parodies the credit card commercial where a man waterslides among skyscrapers and was entered in an online competition where the winning entry would scoop £10,000.
Luke finally makes it to the sea having sped past the Royal Pavilion, down Preston Street and down one of the groynes. A keen skateboarder, he says, “People in Brighton are a bit more accepting than in other places and we thought that we would get less funny looks here... We got a really good reception. People loved it. We did a scene outside the Pavilion and 50 people stood around watching.”
He and his brother would like to continue in films, start up a design collective agency and might use their new vehicle to make a much longer film.
