A Footnote on Applying
Just wanted to mention this in addition to the stuff on showreels:
This may sound obvious, but when applying to a studio, be it games, TV or feature film, then applicants should make sure that they are familiar with their recent work. It's amazing how many times this doesn't happen, and hardly looks great if this comes to light at interview!
Also, the application letters that accompany showreels should be company specific, for then you can mention the work, why you like it and how excited you would be for the opportunity to work there. Making a good first impression is pretty important, so every little thing counts.
Hope this is at least a little useful. I need to step away from the lectern now - I can feel myself turning into my lecturer Dad.
Noooo!
