In the next few month, I will have an interview on an internship from Intoxic Studio. It is one of the very few 2D based animation studio in Hong Kong and they have their own project instead of just receiving commercial job therefore I think it will be a good place to start of as an junior animator, experiencing both self-directed project as well as doing commission job. There is a huge chance of getting employed by the studio after the internship (said so on their website) so I really looking forward to that!
I asked lots of my friends in Hong Kong about applying job advices. Most of them do not encourage me to turn studio down, it might due to the cultural differences between Hong Kong and the UK. Most of them said companies in Hong Kong are not generous to interviewers, since the city is so small, they tend to remember who has turned the offer down. I am a bit scared of this so not planning to send my CV to too many studios at the same time to prevent crashing offers. If I did not get the internship from Intoxic studio, I will keep sending CV to a few studio at one time as well as working as a theatre backdrop animator again.
My aim is to find a steady job within three years. It does not limited to having a full time animation job. I really not bothered doing freelance or part-time. Life in Hong Kong is tough, animators are so demanding who also needs to know web making, illustration and graphic design. I will see this year of building a firm foundation, practice more animating and illustrating skills and hopefully this can lead me to more job possibility in Hong Kong as well as from anywhere of the world. I am glad that Uni forces us to do branding... Thank you LCA.
