When it comes to interviews, having a good portfolio is a good way to get the job but it doesn't reflect how I would personally showcase myself towards the role.
To get a good pitch this would haver to include describing:
- Degree (projects, specialist areas)
- Placement (tasks, what you learnt)
- Part time work (skills developed)
- Interested in the company (projects, goals, audience and style of working)
- love of the subject (methods, theme and techniques)
- What made me interested in the role (past experience, challenges faced)
Below shows a presentation by guest speaker lisa law on how to successfully network and how to
approach in pitching job roles in 10 minute presentation which will be shown in a future post and
interviews with the leaders of industries or studios that I would apply towards.

Storyboard Artist
As another pitch I would look into is storyboard artist I started to look at famous artists who have explored this crucial method in their career path. The link for my main research in storyboard artists is: http://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-famous-storyboard-artists/reference
Butch Hartman
This animator is very famous for creating Nickelodeon network shows Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom. As he created, directed and written these tv shows, storyboarding was I think his most important process as these crucial points of creating the elements of the plot help keep the audience interested through each episode and understand each scene from crisp and clean pacing that helps the dynamics, action and humour of each show's themes.
Joseph Barbara
He is an Italian-American artist that has created, produced, written, animated and storyboarded a wide range of animated shows like Scooby Doo and The Flintstones. As part of the founding of Hanna Barbara studios with the involvement of William Hanna. The way he worked and created these shows had made worldwide fame of over 300 million audiences in 1960 that continued to grow as the same as the new introduced shows over the course of his career. What I find most interesting about his work is how he created the blend of humour to characters that can be recognoised in any theme he introduces throughout each show he took part in creating.
As part of creating a portfolio, we had another guest speaker to showcase how they have build their creative path through the animation industry and workshops. The second guest was Elizabeth Hobbs.
From her work she showed, she specialises in ink animation and printmaking animation.
How she produces her films is using ink paints, applying them upon layers and changing each frame with new movements over older frames in previous shots that would display the same character yet feel more alive when made.
This to me, showcases a recognizable style to her work through the way how she carries her stories through simple yet rich motions and character/ setting portrayals.
She mention in her talk when freelancing, we would need to make sure that we know what sort of workshop and team we are willing to work with as they could make suggestions, meetings and ideas towards where they want to take the production even of it doesn't fit with what the original artist/ Aniamtor previously envisioned that the beginning of the process. Yet being open minded and getting another view on the subject matter can envisioned a new direction that the original creator wouldn't have thought up before.
In some of her work like her printmaking, she uses film strips as the backdrop for putting on screen when she carves small images of her story into wood. These small reels would then be enhanced and blown up bigger for screening.
Her latest instalment she mention she was taking part in was a independent project called 'OK' where she shows a test of how she filters with sketches and photographs to craft a story about one person in her work. From all her films she introduces historical elements and plays upon the notion of how we perceive the original telling as she finds the halfs truths and tells them in her animation productions.
Here below shows examples of her work that she showed in her talk
