In the past few weeks i have been reaching out to motion designers to see if i could ask them some questions. I contacted Rosy Turner, who used to attend our university and now works in the industry. I asked her things like how she got into the industry, what she thinks a studio looks for in a showreel/interview, what advice she has for someone trying to get into the industry etc. She gave me really good answers to my questions which have been very helpful in planning my exit strategy. Some of the points i took away were;
- Tailor your showreel to the studio youre applying for
- Be enthusiastic at interviews
- "they are not just interviewing you for the job, you are also interviewing to see if the job is right for you."
- put the hours into learning the software - dont limit yourself
- Keep updating your social media platforms. Post work in progresses, illustrations, updates. The more frequently you post the more relevant you are in people’s eyes.
- listen to Motion Hatch and School of Motion podcasts
- motion design is in high demand at the minute
