I'm actually amazed at myself for actually wanting to get the blog done as I go along!
So what's my aim for the showreel I hear you ask? Well it's simple.
I wish to create a showreel that I can use to apply for several internships over the summer.
The type of work that will be going on the showreel will go across the board with animation principles, I aim to go from the very basics of animation to some very polished body mechanics.
Here's the breakdown of what I will achieve and have in my animation showreel.
- Bouncing balls
- Locomotion
- Body mechanics
- Work to be used in BA film
Let's get cracking!

The Brief
Here's the brief people!
This unit builds directly on the Industry Exercises 1 and Industry Exercises 2 units, allowing students to use their portfolio of animation skills to develop finished broadcast animation pieces (in small teams) to be shown during Rave on Air, and to generate an individual show-reel to promote those skills to employers. Students also develop more advanced planning and organisational skills necessary to manage team productions.
This unit has the potential to allow inter-faculty collaboration through the use of animation to promote the work of other courses in the creation of animated advertisements for Rave on Air (product design for example). Intra-faculty collaboration is also possible through the use of other disciplines such as post production and sound design that naturally complement the animation industry. These collaborations will be negotiated on a per team basis.
Aims of the Unit
To enable students to initiate, plan, and complete complex team projects.
To enable students to work to broadcast standards of quality.
To provide experience of establishing and developing team project schedules and tracking progress towards project completion.
To enable students to demonstrate and promote the range and quality of their animation skills through the production of a show-reel.
By the end of this unit students will be able to demonstrate:
Individual Reflective Journal
Evidence of critical reflection on the creative and artistic merits of their work in relation to contemporary practice. (A1, C1)
Evidence of critical reflection on team dynamics and performance. (E1)
Showreel
Evidence of creative presentation and promotion of students’ individual repertoire of animation skills. (A1, C1, D1)
Evidence of the critical analysis and selection of work of an appropriate quality for submission. (A1, C1)
Broadcast Piece
Evidence in the realisation of the projects of systematic application of animation skills and practices to the standard expected for an entrant to professional animation or visualisation. (D1, E1)
Initiate and negotiate a team project and independently manage their time and workflow. (B1, E1)
Successful completion, to a broadcast state, of a team animation project. (B1, D1, E1)
Along with the Journal (you're looking at it right now!) and the showreel I shall be working with a team from the third year. I believe this is best since I can develop my skills as an animator even further to exactly the level I want them to be.
