Keep on this way and really thanks again, I hope we'll see you back soon...
Hi N.O.D.! Thanks for the nice comment. It definitely helped me get back on track making new videos, as well as content for the Instagram page. I just released a new video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-fJy2eMJRc.html Let me know if there are topics you would like me to explore or questions you would like me to talk about.
Hello Camilo, how are you? I live in Brazil and I want to visit Lightbox expo next year. I would like to show my portfolio to an animation studio, but my interest is in character design and I recently started studying storyboard too. Is it possible to leave an event like this being hired by portfolio analysis? Thanks for your help and your channel. A big hug from Brazil to you!
Hi @brunocarvalho9207 ! I think being hired on the spot is probably rare if not impossible. What can happen though is to get a follow-up and be hired later on after the event. I know for a fact (because someone from that studio told me) that there was one studio that kept business cards of artists that they thought were interesting and they used to have a meeting a week after the event to kind of talk about who caught their eye. I wouldn't be surprised if most studios do that. But being hired at the event is nearly impossible because there is usually a process in place.
Thank you for sharing all the great tips!! I'm so glad I came across this channel. Could you share some of your experience with interviews especially with big studios (such as Blue Sky and Netflix)? I'm applying for a few entry-level story positions but I only have interview experience with smaller studios and they're really chill and short. I wonder if big studios do interviews differently.
Hi Rea, thanks for the nice words. I will do a video about Blue Sky for sure. In the case of the Netflix show it's different, because I worked on it through DHX (now WildBrain) in Vancouver. Still, I can make a video about how I got the gigs I worked on so far for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!!
