Application to StudioGobo Internship
As a result of attending the AniMates 3: Game On! I was able to meet Drew Roper - creative Director of Yaminations in Birmingham. I was able to use this event to network, and introduce myself. I showed him my animatic work for the preproduction work and was able to talk about some of the projects they have going at the studio. They are currently looking for a concept artist to work on a Roahl Dahl piece but Drew is looking for someone who can get a real level of detail from their concept art. I feel that if I really worked on it I would be able to achieve this skill and it is a goal for the future for me to work upon. Drew was really pleasant and forthcoming, I asked for some shadowing experience and he said to drop an email later to himself and his assistant. They often take students on. While the experience is within Stop-Motion which I have quite little experience in- other than my PaperCut animation I did in my previous degree, he did suggest putting me in their concept art department. It is a small company, which works tight knit like a family. He mentioned previously that students cannot be taught and I said all I need to do is google it and figure it out on my own, so I believe he feels confident I will be suitable to a weeks experience. I will be going to stay with my friend Helen who lives in Birmingham city centre to minimise the commute cost.
I did my best to show my enthusiasm for animation and since I had met him in person, left my email quite informal.

APPLICATION TO STUDIO GOBO
Dear StudioGobo
I hope you are well. My name is Danni Chan and I am a 3rd year Animation / Illustration student from the University of Worcester. Jenny Harder ever so kindly answered my questionnaire about working in the Industry for my research a couple of months ago via LinkedIn. Thank you so much for this- I quoted her and brought some of her artwork up from Artstation onto the projector. I am pleased to say I did succeed in a high grade! Without the quotes, the presentations were rather dry.
I am writing to you in enormous hope that you would consider allowing me to shadow you for a day, so I could learn what it is like to work within the industry, for an incredible company. I realise this is a massive ask, and I would not in any way whatsoever hinder your employees daily tasks or workflow. (I am happy to retrieve tea all day.) I really admire your work, (have started following your art on numerous social media) and the style of studio Gobo.
I am really keen to become a concept artist, though flexible to becoming a character artist as I am learning fast 3D. I learn quickly and am devoted to improving my skills every day.
I realise your day must be very busy and your time very valuable, so I do not mind waiting till you have a more open day in your calendar. Anything witnessed within the studio would be kept entirely confidential, and naturally I would sign confidentiality forms. You can reach me any time at my email: dannichan94@hotmail.co.uk, or you are welcome to call me on my mobile number:
I’ve attached my website and portfolio below.

Thank you so much,
Danni Chan

Hi Danni,
Thanks for the email. It was lovely to have met you recently.
Sure, please get in touch once you’re finishing up and we’ll see if we can get you some experience at the studio.
Your project is looking great so all the very best with completing it!
Cheers,
DR
Hi Mark,
I hope you are well.
I am writing to you with an application to work at the character shop in Birmingham. I am really interested in working at your studio- and completely fell in love with Cliff the Rock, partly because of my obsession with pugs and I think his character animation is hilarious. I still particularly enjoy children's television- and will quite happily watch kids programs.
I realise that your studio is in high demand, and you must be extremely busy (and you probably get a lot of students writing to you....) I am an illustrator, and a concept artist, and have a previous degree/HND of Graphic Design. I am majoring in 2D animation at the University of Worcester (I have some 3D modelling Maya), and I would really love some industry experience. If you could offer me a short internship or week's, or even a few day's work shadowing, I would be extremely grateful! I have a good experience of a range of programs, learn fast and would make myself useful. (And not get in the way.)
Currently, I am working on my film for my final major film for animation 'Song of the Wisps'. It is my goal to have something to enter into a competition by the summer. I've been told I'm unlikely to be able to finish it by May (graduation time) but I'm going to try anyway! I've attached the animatic below. If you have time, please take a look and I'd be extremely thankful for any feedback.

I will be at British Animation Awards at the custard factory in Birmingham for the three days, perhaps I will see you and some colleagues here. I'd love to have chat and a coffee.
I hope this email finds you well,
Best wishes,
