PPP Creative Strategy - New CV

I wanted to update my CV because I haven't done one since 2012 so I needed to write one that would be more suitable for the industry that I would like to go into. My CV explains who I am, where I'm from, what skills I have, what experience I have and where to go if people what to see my work. This CV will probably need changing again before the module is over but for now it will do. Below is an example of what my CV look like.

Artist Statement

Throughout my years, my determination and appreciation for animation has increased, along with my abilities. I gave a great interest in creating realistic effects and movement. I specialize in 3D animation and Visual Effects, because I thrive on the creativity in which these processes hold. I find myself to be inspired by films and TV shows and especially the behind the scenes footages of them so I can see how they are all put together. I aspire to become the best 3D/CG animator and VFX artist I can possible be. I also have a passion for Dynamic and Particle effects due to the amount of realism and wonders you can achieve. I believe that improvement can always be applied, and as an artist development is key. And when it comes to my personality I’m friendly, polite, and have the ability to work collaboratively in a professional environment.

Experience

End of Year Exhibition 2015-16

I have assisted and with preparing and coordinating the end of year exhibitions, and had the individual job of editing everyone’s showreel together appropriately. This had been a rewarding experience because it has given me the ability to understand the best ways to present and display work effectively to the audience.

We Are Universe 2016

This was a project in collaboration with Leeds College of Music, Motiv Productions and more. Myself, along with other animators all produced short animations based around the elements and how they connect with the universe. This was then projected at Leeds Light Night 2016.
Hello Leeds 2016

For the Christmas festive season of 2016, I worked with other animators, Illustrators and Graphic Designers to produce a series of animations for Jimmy Islip from Lumen. Are animations where then projected onto the lifting tower in Leeds.

Coordinating Third Year Film Exhibition 2017

This was an opportunity to coordinate and display the third year Animation Final Film Exhibition to the rest of the university and the public.

Other Interests

With the time I have free, I like playing video games, being active and healthy. Due to the fact that I have a part time job at Costa Coffee, I like to make/drink coffee, with my own coffee machine, and socialize with other people. I also enjoy biking, swimming and travelling, however I love just to sit down, relax and watch a film with a beer.
