Last Friday I was fortunate enough to attend an animation festival hosted in Edinburgh in which I watched talks filled with useful advice about the industry i am interested in working in, as well as participating in a group excercise to get more used to the way that projects are created in the industry. The speakers were a freelancer artist, producer at axis animation and animation director at Aardman.This was a very worthwhile experience and I left feeling inspired and more knowledgeable. I was able to work on my skills in working with strangers, out of my comfort zone, as well as listening to people who were once where i am now and managed to be successful.
I really feel the animation industry is one i am destined to join, whether it be through film & animation or games. We were told to think about what we could offer a company that they don't already have with someone else, and I feel that my research project this year shall allow me to stand out as a really great animation practitioner.
