Hiya animators! I'll be starting out in 3D Animation in September, but one of the reasons I picked this course was because you can wait to the second year to specialise properly. My background is in stop-motion, which doesn't translate too easily to any of the disciplines. :P

Anyone got any previous work they want to show off?

Hey there! I have a blog here.

I think knowledge learned from stop motion will translate very well! What did you do before then?

You got a blog?

Everything on your blog is amazing! You're super talented, and definitely earned a follow from me.

Nothing, I started stop-motion when I was 12 and have been doing it ever since. It's really taken me places though, I love making films. :smile:

No blog, but here's my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/Zoot101
This is the video I showed in my interview and it got me my place.

link for the above :biggrin:

(btw just a suggestion but UHanimation 14/15 is a much shorter and easier name? :biggrin: or Herts Animation or Herts 2D/3D/VFX/GA 14/15.. but then again i'm just a fan of short catchy names :biggrin:)

I probably should make storyboards, but because it's just me working on each film and I've got a pretty good feel for how to pace it etc. after doing it for so long, I just make it up as I go along. It's a bit lazy, but I just want to get to the animating part as fast as possible.

It's great fun and I totally recommend it, maybe I'll be able to show you all how it's done in a few months' time. :tongue:

well I think it's less likely to come up on google or whatever if someone randomly searches for it. They'l probably type animation + game art out in full.

I've done loads of 2D with Flash before, but 3D is like a whole new world that I've never explored before! To be honest I'll just do whatever one I'm least terrible at :P

I got my first choice too! Bellingham Court, Flat 3, Room 5. So excited :smile:

Since everyone is being brave and sharing, here's the showreel I used at my interview! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ouewre26en4&list=UU6X7d0wlU6zrPAE9gqhmoFw

I'm starting Stop Motion Animation in September. I'm a mature student (old enough to be your mother probably!). I've not done any animation before, I draw and sculpt and make loads of different craft things. I'm up to my ears in the 'summer activities' stuff they've set, anyone else screaming and running out of time? :O!!!

As we're sharing... I have a whole bunch of stuff on deviant art. I try everything and not long enough to get good at anything!

Love the links, you've all done some really good stuff! what software are you using?

I'm starting 3D Animation this September also and I'm going to stay at Coales Halls
