At the beginning of autumn term, Thomas was elected [[Production Director]] after [[Courtney Brotherson]] stepped down. In this new position, he revived the station's YouTube channel (for which he also created a new thumbnail scheme), introduced weekly Writers' Rooms (unfortunately rather unsuccessful) and changed the way [[Production Meetings]] were held. Most notably, these new meetings included weekly schedules, lists of all programmes in [[edit hell]] and a lot of weird photoshop pictures to illustrate upcoming productions. | At the beginning of autumn term, Thomas was elected [[Production Director]] after [[Courtney Brotherson]] stepped down.

Around the same time, he also started the series [[YSTV Does...]] after being dared by [[Klara Simonova]] and [[Prakriti Jha]] to go pole dancing for a video. Simultaneously, he started working with [[Matthew Zeffertt]] on [[The FetSocDoc]], in which he appeared as co-presenter. | ||
During the coming terms, he continued working on a wide array of productions, always trying to trial new formats and push for more complicated and challenging ideas (both on factual and entertainment content). He also joined YSTV for their trip to Malham Cove and was in Nottingham for YSTV's ''Best Broadcaster'' win at [[NaSTA 2019]]. He also edited the winning showreel with [[Matthew Zeffertt]]. For [[Roses 2019]], Thomas served as [[Content Lead]], directed a few of the live streams and primarily worked on a series of pre-recorded VTs. At the main live show (the opening ceremony) he operated as Live Highlights Editor - a role which he would reprise for several later streams. | During the coming terms, he continued working on a wide array of productions, always trying to trial new formats and push for more complicated and challenging ideas (both on factual and entertainment content).

The most notable productions that Thomas was involved with for the rest of summer term were [[Everything Sucks]] (which he co-directed and co-edited), [[Summer Ball 2019]], [[Love York Awards 2019]] (which he also co-directed and produced) and the camping trip to Scarborough on the very next day. He also teamed up with [[Joe Wharfe]] to compete in the first episode of [[YSTV does Hunted]], which they promptly lost. | The most notable productions that Thomas was involved with for the rest of summer term were [[Everything Sucks]] (which he co-directed and co-edited), [[Summer Ball 2019]], [[Love York Awards 2019]] (which he also co-directed and produced) and the camping trip to Scarborough on the very next day.

He returned to York many weeks before the next academic year in order to get back into YSTV work, together with his partner in crime [[Stephanie Shires|Steph]]. This mainly included diving back into [[edit hell]], from which he emerged with projects like [[Beautiful Yorkshire]]. He also tried to establish a short-lived working relationship with [[York Vision]] and a much longer-lived relationship with the new [[YUSU]] Sabbs - partially due to his status as TFTI's Department Representative and personal friendship with the current Academic Officer. | |||
Due to shooting a non-YSTV short film the week before [[Freshers Week 2020]] and a YSTV-related 48h film ([[Coming Up Next]]), Thomas was only marginally involved with the regular coverage of the week. However, he still produced and edited [[Zoe and Jonny's Drunk Diaries]] and presented several hours of the [[Freshers' Fair 2020]] livestream. Ultimately, the committee's efforts resulted in the biggest intake of new members YSTV had recorded to that day, including future key station members like soon-to-be [[Station Director]] [[Joe Radford]]. | |||
For the rest of autumn term, Thomas' work centred around presenting several [[YSTV Reports]] videos and the key productions of [[Lost]] (for which he teamed up with [[Matthew Zeffert]] and once again promptly lost), [[YSTV does Hunted - Episode 2]] and [[Please Sir, There's Been A Murda!]]. | |||
