About me

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing to apply for the position of Junior Designer / Animator.

Being creative is my life, I can't make it through the day without sketching something or doodling a crazy little character on the back of a napkin. I have worked in many different art forms but know animation is where I belong.

My passion at university was stop motion animation. I really enjoyed making miniature hand-made characters and miniature environments for the characters to be animated in. A keen eye for detail is extremely important when making miniature environments as any mistakes would be clearly visible on camera.

I have worked with many different types of software, in my CV I have listed all the different software and skills I am familiar with but the software I am the most confident with is Adobe suite. I have worked on both a Mac and Windows and can easily adapt to either styles of working.

After I left university I realised that time spent with creatively minded people is truly valuable and I think that is what I miss most from my time at University. Every week we would get together as a group and discuss our ideas and receive input from each other.

In my previous job as the assistant manager of a restaurant it was very important for me to be organised, I was responsible for the team of staff working with me. I would daily make a list of tasks which would need to be completed by the end of the shift. On busy shifts I would take responsibility for the daily cleaning duties of the restaurant as I was the most experienced and can easily juggle the cleaning duties and the customer service responsibilities.

I could bring to this studio not only an in depth knowledge in the desired software but also an excellent understanding of the creative process. I have worked on many personal projects but also an educational video for the NHS. I was responsible for the character animation but I also got the opportunity to observe all the other creative processes in action.

I am an extremely dedicated individual who really wants to learn and progress far in the creative industry. I know the key to succeeding my goals is to observe and work along side talented and experienced designers.

I have created a short show reel to show case just some of my work,

Please do get in contact with me if there is any more information you would like to know.

With the Kindest Regards

Emily Cox
