Hi Everyone ...

I am doing a BSc (HONS) degree in Computer Science @ Staffordshire University
and was  woundering if some of  you guys out there in the  animation industry
could help me. I am 24 years old and also have a HND in Software Engineering.

I am interested in persuing a career in graphics & animation and was hopping
that someone could point me in the right direction. I am currently doing a
years placement at the SERC Daresbury Laboratory doing Scientific Visualization
using AVS. I own an Amiga2000 and do animation at home using Real3D, but I
realise that this is a long way off the standard required by professional
animation houses.

I realise that if I want to get into animation I have to get a job doing it
as soon as I finish University, Even if it means working for next to nothing
to gain some experience.

Can anyone out there give me any advise, on how I should go about getting into
the industry. Also any info on books to read, Do I need to do any fine-art courses
, or will training be provided in house by a perspective employer.

Thanks Gary.

Also I am trying to collect a list of company names & addresses that I can write
to for jobs in the Computer Graphics field (ie advertising, film, TV, etc) So if
you work for a suitable company here in the UK Please let me know your address.

Thanks for your time & any help -Gary- SERC Daresbury Laboratory.
