After the lecture on Copyright laws and on how to protect your work online, I checked over my Instagram account (the main account I post my work on) and realised I had no watermark on my images, nor did I state that any work posted on my account was mine and not to be passed off as an others. However, most of my posts are of working progress and not of final animations, so this did not worry me as much. This did alert me to future posts though, and I will be more strict on the quality of final pieces I post, ensuring a light watermark is over them.
In all of my posts of collaborative work, I ensure my team mates are recognised and that it is evident what I should be accredited for, especially when possible employers use my Instagram to weigh up whether my capabilities and work is suitable for them or not.
I have also included my email address for formal conversations between studios. I find that having a business account is valuable as I can gauge how much attention my work is getting from specific posts, and of who interacts with them, allowing me to adapt to grow a following.
