Taking the first steps...

Hi, I'm Paul and basically... I want to animate for a living.

This blog will basically be tracking my progress as I attempt to break into the industry! This will either aid other future students or be a testament to my pending failure :)

Here I will be posting video diaries, examples of work and any helpful information I come across.

So, a little about me. I started off on a games design course at college, focussing mainly on concepts for games as well as 3D modelling, using 3DS Max.
After 2 years it was time to head to university. I was accepted at Teesside university in 2007 and I've been here ever since studying Digital character animation. I reached my second year without hitch, however part way through year 2 I decided it was best to resit part of it again to ensure better marks, gain more experience and have a better chance at gaining that all important placement year within the industry!

So here I am, placement time! its now or never. I am currently working on my show reel to show to potential employers. I also plan on entering the "Vis awards" in the character animation category, which could earn me a years internship with Ubisoft reflections.

So stay tuned! - i'll be posting work and videos in the coming weeks!

Paul
