Study Task 1 - Mirror, mirror on the wall - who needs to review their presence most of all?

Final year BA (Hons) Animation student making footsteps towards becoming a multi-disciplinary practitioner across stop-motion animation. After solidly turning to stop-motion in October 2019.

At present:
Showreel 2018

Showreel 2019

  • enjoy working with tangible materials, organised mess and team with a positive attitude 
  • believe that animated stories for young audiences contribute to their visual learning experience, where there are rich textures available to observe
  • environmentally conscious where practical
  • previous show-reel, a mixture of various traditional and digital techniques ( no longer reflects my practice) 
  • previous online presence - lack of frequency, professionalism, quality and reach across Vimeo, FilmFreeway, Instagram, Wordpress website, YouTube, Twitter. Also does not represent me as a specialised stop-motion artist. 
  • investing in essential equipment for going forward after graduation.
  • Grammarly - confidence boost in writing this blog and replies to emails. 
  • skillset varies in level across Dragonframe, Adobe CC - Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects as well as academic writing, managing and organising project files in Google Drive, thinking ahead. Drawing, painting.
  • set and puppet making - learning in progress. 
  • running my station at workshops by Leeds Animation Workshop - building upon teaching and problem-solving skill in non-computer animation
Ambitions: 
  • advanced techniques of puppet and set building 
  • online and offline presence consistent
  • improve engagement with the audience and other professionals, build predictability 
  • work on overthinking habits and fear of failure 
  • start earning money with art/animation
At the end of the course:
  • a part-time job to support myself financially
  • experience and portfolio in the area of stop-motion animation. 
  • staying in Leeds for at least one year after my graduation 
  • continue connection with Leeds Animation Workshop. 
  • start using alternatives to Adobe CC and go for one-off payments options 
  • put money into armatures and tools needed to develop my skill in stop-motion animation.
