I’ve been thinking about the aftermath of the MA Character Animation course. I am extremely happy that I applied for this course. Working in animation was always a distant dream for me – but now it’s feeling like it’s a lot more attainable. I’ve met so many amazing people on the course who have been very helpful – not only have I gained technical development but just great friends. Looking back at when I first started the course, I didn’t know anything about the technical elements of animation. At first, I also wanted to go into visual development as I have a keen eye for design and colour. But now, my fit within the animation industry is very different – it’s more set on the production side of things. I really feel I could excel in this area of the animation industry.
My Goals / Aspirations for after MACA
- Working in the production area of the animation industry – anywhere in the world.
- Network!
- Continue with ‘The Screenish’, the Creative Enterprise business.
- Establish myself as an Independent Animator through building a style and character.
- Find Funding for independent animated film projects.
- Send independent animated film projects to film festivals.
