Industry Event

  • Unfortunately, I was unable to go to more industry events due to health issues, however I was able to attend and be apart of some amazing studios visits and meet talented animators, storyboard artists and many more. Industry events are important for upcoming animators like myself because it provides countless opportunities to be discovered and stay connected with a face-pace changing industry which grows and develops every single year.

BRING YOUR OWN ANIMATION EVENT

  • One of the events I had attended was the 'Bring Your Own Animation' event. This event was open to all animators who wanted to find connections, socialise and seek feedback from those who were already in the industry. It was a safe space to comfortably be yourself and showcase any work that reflected the type of animator you are aiming to be. I'm glad I was able to participate in this event because I was privileged to receive feedback on one of my animations. This event increased my LinkedIn connections and gave me the opportunity to branch out further, I'm glad I was able to meet a talent 3D Bluezoo  character animator called 'Michele Massa'.

BLUEZOO STUDIO VISIT

  • Another one would be the visit to Bluezoo's studio. Bluezoo is a company that solely focuses on creating enjoyable and exciting television series aimed towards children. The studio visit gave me a further insight into what I could potentially branch into as a 3D character animator. Before the visit I hadn't exactly considered doing kid-themed animations solely because I was looking more towards doing animations for a more mature targeted audience. Subsequently, after the studio visit I had began to consider doing animations that were targeted towards a younger and imaginative audience. I believe this was a great way to widen my perspective in not being so limited to staying in my comfort zone.

FRAMESTORE STUDIO VISIT

  • The Last studio visit I had attended was 'Framestore'. Framestore is one the of the leading companies in VFX animations. Frame focus on the realistic approach in all their projects. As this was my second visit to Framestore, I enjoyed seeing how much the company had developed over the past 6 years. During this visit we was given a tour and then eventually a talk about the company, their upcoming porjects and what Framestore as a company look for in upcoming animators who are beginning the process in applying for roles within the industry. Framestore was one of the companies I had looked into further and did more of an in-depth research on, as it was one of the few companies I had on my radar. I am very thankful that I was able to be given this opportunity to see some of Framestore amazing projects and participation is many successful, immersive movies that I have personally seen myself. It was also a great opportunity to receive constructive advice that became the setting stones and preparation towards going into the industry.
