Applying for work at Kilogramme Animation Leeds

I emailed the animation studio Kilogramme to ask about work. The work they produce is to me incredibly visually interesting and I love the diversity in animation processes and techniques. Their website really stands out visually. On the very first page, loads of the work they've produced is instantly on display so anyone can get a very good idea as to the sort of things they produce.

From watching their showreel it was evident that much of the work they create is very diverse. Yet all the animation is consistently smooth. Throughout, the character designs are very visually appealing whether they've been created in 2D or 3D. I also felt like even though the use of 3D animation was evident, there appeared to be plenty of 2D character animation of which I felt matched my skill sets.

I remembered Martin's advice that I shouldn't just email the contact email on the website, I should find out exactly who I need to contact by calling first. So that's what I did and then was given the email of the right person to pass my work onto. This was an initially nerve-wracking experience, particularly because I had not done it before. this was completely my own fault, deciding to concentrate on the work I was creating at university and developing my showreel. But now I've sent my first applying for a job email, this will hopefully get the ball rolling.
