Studio Runner for The Mill London. Training in 3D and Design. While Running at The Mill I have been put on project work including a pitch for a cinematic trailer for Bungies upcoming game ‘Destiny’ where I was working on storyboards and key frame art.

The Mill is one of the most notable post production studios in London. While here, I was working as a runner which meant I was able to contact and communicate with all different members of the staff and get a inside view to how things happened in the industry. I was also able to get time to shadow in the 2D Compositing suite and the 3D Suite.

Hothouse IWG is a well established model making company in London, who have won numerous awards for marketing and design, such as their work on Selfridges. During my time at Hothouse IWG I was mainly working as a runner in their main London studio. I was part of the Stratford Westfield Christmas setup for the Christmas Extravaganza. I was given basic workshop training.

Various freelance projects specializing in Final Cut, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign work and editing. I worked in a training class with animators from Aardman Animations teaching students aged 7 up to 10 the basics of animation and stop motion.

Commissioned illustrator for a major presentation for Transport For London. The project, ‘Design Matters’, involved creating large A0 illustrations to be hung at the event at Westminster Hall. Participated in editing, Photoshop work, plus video and camera work for the event.

Internship in the set decorating and drapes department. I had the opportunity to be a runner on Tim Burton’s ‘Sweeney Todd’ and Mathieu Kassovitz’s ‘Babylon AD’. Here I gained a great insight into the way the film industry works. I was able to see at first hand the fast pace at which the creative industry works and how the relationships between multiple departments combine to make a large single production.

Full time studio based work. Participated in contextual, theoretical and practical seminars. Workshop training includes woodwork, metal work, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and Final Cut Pro. Exhibited in various galleries in London and around the South West including Studio 1.1 (Shoreditch), and Artsway.

Participated in graphics, photography, fashion and fine art classes while at UCA. Additional tutorials to develop skills in Maya 8.
