On the 16th november I went down to london to take part in an animation course open day. Escape studios are a recruiting/training studio that train you for 3 months on there animation program. They train you to work at an industry pace to an industry standard and continue to work with you after you have completed the course and find you work in the industry.
I met alex williams who would be my tutor there and he has worked on titles such as lion king, who framed roger rabbit, iron giant, monster house etc. Once we started speaking after the tour and I mentioned the work I am doing on the masters course Alex offerd to check my showreel and critique it before I come on the course.
I also met fellow students who were thinking of taking the animation course and after mingling with them met a girl who is a pa to an animation director for starburst studios who, after talking to her kindly offerd to help me get work experiance in the studio and gave me her contact details.
This has proved to be well worth the trip down to London as I have made several friends and contacts through fellow students looking to take the course which could lead to work experiance oppertunities to promote my work and a chance to show my showreel to high end animators within the industry who can crit it and tell me where im going wrong and advise me on which studios would be most interested in the work im producing at this time.
