In order to set myself up for the best chance at success in terms of breaking out into the animation industry I have taken the time to carefully curate my online presence and portfolio.
Attached to the title is my artist Instagram page. I have spent time showcasing a range of my skills, from my illustration and drawing skills to my ability to create short animations and motion graphics, to updating my followers on my progress in creating my graduate film. I believe that this display of a wide range of my abilities markets me to future employers as a capable, creative and determined individual who is able to pick up new skills easily.
This sentiment is further reinforced by my portfolio, which showcases my films, as well as a more in depth look at the short animations and detailed illustrations I have created. I have also recently adapted it to include my work in prop design and puppet making, as that is a career path I am determined to go down.
I believe that my show reel will need adapting and changing with each new project I have under my belt, and I’ve learnt that its often good to have several show reels on rotation, each specifically demonstrating skills in the specific role that I am applying for.
