So I had my Interview with Greg and Ross Morrison from Black North/Enter Yes. I have to say that while I wasn’t initially nervous about doing the interview, the whole set up of working down a list and standing out in the hall made me very nervous and in the end I ended up being extremely nervous and shaky in the interview. I don’t think I did myself Justice in it at all. I know this as when I went and did an actual interview for placement I was very calm and collected, and not nervous at all. That makes me worry less as I know that In a real life situation my nervous won’t hold me back. I think it was just the intimidation of the whole ‘school like’ situation. I wrote that I was applying to Billy Goat Entertainment…
- Tell us a bit about yourself
Here I stammered a little but gave a reasonable answer. I talked about My connection with the course and the Animation Society.
- Do you have anything to show us
I showed my showreel and they asked me a few questions about the giraffe project and my Aquatic creature sculpt.
- They asked me what the hardest part of the showreel was
I said it was crunch due to it being our first time at moving through the production pipeline and how much we’ve learnt since then.
- Where do you see yourself in Five years time
I talked about my love of creatures and how I would be happy if I could work my way into creature design and creation.
- Finally If we had any questions for them
I asked about if they were intending to journey into VR at all with that being so prominent in the gaming industry.
FEEDBACK

- Good opening Answer
- Didn’t come across as nervous
