Creative Research - Blue Zoo

After discovering Blue Zoo animation Studio which is in London, I noticed they had an opening for 2 internships. One of which was focused more on the design element and pitching ideas, which would then come to animating later on. I didn't end up applying for this, because firstly, my showreel was not up to date at this point, and I did not want it to be sent out if I was not happy with it. Secondly, they seem to be looking for people who specialise in 3D animation.

However, I do plan to get into contact with them over the summer period, to find out what exactly they would look for in a showreel, because I figured it cant hurt to try! 

This studio, is very character driven which is clear to me just on their homepage. This is why I am interested in this studio, regardless of the fact that it specialises in 3D, because I don't think this matters. However, my showreel is almost all 2D, so I am aware that they most likely wouldn't want me anyway, however at this stage I am just merely curious!

I like the sound of the placement that was available, because it didn't sound as though it was just centered around animating. It offered the opportunity to attend meetings and pitch ideas and well as producing designs. I will continue to keep a look out on the site, and the other social media pages, but in the mean time by aim is to find out what they look for in a showreel, and see if my reel can be adapted, or if I should think about making a second one that is more 3D based during third year.
