Graduated with a First Class in BA Animation

Graduation will be around February next year but here are results!
The time has come three years of hard work at Birmingham City University on BA Animation course finding my feet in animation and loosing my feet as a student, the grades have come back so show from my most dedicated third year the grades conclude,

Specialist Study 2 - 75%

Final overal grade for my university course - First Class
Still sinking in, this is only the start of a long career if my hard work keeps paying off.

The grades have come back everyones said their goodbyes and last week i completed my internship at Charactershop upon Regent street in Birmingham where i got to take my hand in 3D animating and see how a studio runs with tight deadlines and high end clients.
 The team were great as talented as they were funny and will always keep in contact to one day take a visit and so how the studio has expanded.

Also i've has my Graduation shop which 'Street Act' was shown and many people attended on the private show clients and people we also look up to in the industry like Ian Mackinnon for example from Mackinnon & Saunders, the photos will be up within the next couple of days.
