SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that can help your company face its greatest challenges and find its most promising new markets.

I was absented on that day so I draw a SWOT illustration to analyse myself. I discussed with my boyfriend so I can have others opinion as well.

Strengths:Friendly, approachable, hard-working, thoughtful, creative

Weakness:Passive,lack of confidence, negative

Opportunities:Hand drawn animation, using photoshop and watercolour with versatile style and mostly retro

Threats:Using computer programmes like maya and flash and too influenced and stay in comfort zone

I understand more about myself and want to find a way to improve those weakness. I noticed that I am not an active person and being passive is my fatal problem which needs to be removed from me if being an animator is my dream. Having no excuse that I need to know more people and to expand my friend zone which can start by talking more to the classmate and involving in more societies or meetings. I really hope there will be a significant improvement at the end of this academic year.

PPP Studio Presentation

Studio Ghibli influences me so much and this is probably what I want to be in the future: Traditional drawing animator in Japan. I was doing the research two days before the presentation so it was quite brief and basically I am saying what I think about the company and so facts so I was not doing much research except going on wikipedia.

link of Studio Ghibli:

Then I remember Max has recommended me to watch this documentary about the studio. It is a long video about two hours and it is more than worth to spend that time to watch this which basically record the production of When Wind Rises and take about Mr. Miyazaki's work ethic and his insist of quality of work. This can not be explained well by any words so if you who is reading my blog now, go watch it because you will gain so much by watching this.

I need to keep tracking other Japanese animation studios that I am interested in and try to contact them by email. I know it will be quite difficult to get into the Japan animation career but I will try my best contacting while equipping myself with better drawing skills and practicing daily.
