The end of the course is rapidly approaching and I’ve been doing what I can to prepare myself for a career in animation. Over the summer I’ll be applying for junior jobs and assistant roles in whatever facet of animation I can find – right now I’m not being particularly fickle about what I apply for but I’m hopeful that within the next few years I’ll have a secure role in either a studio or be working freelance on some projects.
In this post I’m covering my showreel from last year. My intent is to update it soon with some of the projects we’ve worked on since, including the LIAF commission which must’ve been just after I’d made this showreel!
It’s great to look back and see how I’ve already developed my skills in the last year and where I could stand to put more work into, but generally speaking I’m happy with what’s in here.
I intend to update it in the next week so I’ll make another post when the 2023 showreel is uploaded to Vimeo. Margeaux gave some great tips and feedback about making showreels this week so I’m going to use that knowledge to try and improve it as best I can and hopefully it’ll help me land some jobs as soon as possible after the course is over.
