Professional Practise 2
Study Task 1 - Networking

  1. aNEmates - Show and Tell
    • On Thursday 6th February from 6.30pm-11pm
    • A free networking event for animators, illustrators, games artists and other creatives, located in Newcastle upon Tyne
    • aNEmates have regular networking events and it would be useful to meet with other creatives, specifically in video games animation.
  2. Motion North
    • On Thursday 16th April from 6.30pm
    • A networking event based in Manchester, for animators, motion designers, film-makers and VFX artists.
    • I would be attending to meet other animators and mainly to improve confidence in talking to other people and confidence in myself. I haven't been able to find any specific people attending, yet, but I would look this up beforehand. 
  3. Manimation
    • The Childrens Media Conference runs an event called Manimation which is in the run-up to Manchester Animation Festival. The dates for 2020 have not yet been confirmed.
    • If I were to attend, it would be as a run-up to Manchester Animation Festival and to meet with professionals working in children's animation.
  4. Manchester Animation Festival
    • Unfortunately there are no dates set yet for Manchester Animation Festival 2020, however it would be an opportunity to talk with professionals and view other studios animations. 
    • This event is not free, so tickets would have to be bought and transport and accommodation would need to be figured out also.
  5. GAMAYO
    • Game Makers Yorkshire (GAMAYO) is a regular event for those who make videogames in Yorkshire and the North of England. The event is held twice a year in Leeds.
    • As it is the largest game-developer meet-up in the North of England, it would be useful to try attend to connect with developers and producers. 
    • I would be able to offer animation and art skills to help in the creation of videogames.
  6. Leeds Young Professionals Network
    • Leeds YPN is a regular networking event for young people, from any occupation, which could help with collaborations and meeting new people who are in a similar situation as I am. This is additionally a free and local event, which I would need to apply to attend, however I would be able to make connections with other courses and possibly more people interested in videogames, media and film.
