Before Graduation
- Learn 3dsmax, Mudbox and ZBrush.
- Develop single object modelling & texturing projects (including product design challenges).
- Develop a showreel with description of my role in each project and what software was used.
- Write a few creative CV's directed towards specific job roles. This is especially important for jobs outside of the animation industry, in product design and interior design job roles.
- Upload each mini modelling project on instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
- Connect with and contact professionals in the studios offering jobs and internships at the moment to see if they have advice on what they're looking for, or generally on getting into the industry.
- Design website on WIX (domain 'catrionaodonnell.com' bought already).
The year after graduation
- Move to Manchester
- If previous job applications were unsuccessful get bar/restaurant job to pay rent & also work freelance creating prints, attracting clients on social media, using my website and professional email to take orders.
- Find out where the animation community socialise and network here
- Attend Manchester animation festival & festivals across the UK, as I could still commute to studios elsewhere.
