Studio and Jobs Research
One thing that’s important to me is to choose where to work. I am aware that as an entry-level, I should not be choosy, and that this will narrow my work opportunities, but I don’t want to create any type of content. Choosing the type of content and knowing whether it fits with my morals or not is crucial for my work. Being a Muslim, I must be aware of the work I create, or help make.
I’m interested in making content that is overall positive. Whether it was teaching life lessons, or spreading awareness, or entertaining children, I really want to leave a good mark in my career. Even creating content for people my age with whatever they go through. I want my work and what I work for to be for a good cause.
If I stay in the UK, I’m currently gravitating towards studios that create kids’ content.
Here’s a list of studios I’m planning to apply at:
- Studio AKA
- Hocus Pocus
- Feral Child
- Karrot
- Fudge
- Acmar Films
- Tiger Aspect
- Plastic Milk
- Moonbug
- Cake
- Magic Light Pictures
While all of these are in London, I’ve tried looking for studios in Reading which is where I live, unfortunately I have not been successful. But I plan on looking further into it. I believe there is an animation community in Reading but I just haven’t been able to find it.
