Looking into Jobs

I am to look into a job, create cover letters for them and practice trying to get the job

CreativeBusinessnow.NZ

This is a small list for companies within New Zealand. About half the list

This has more for games

NAGDA-studios

Use this as a reference for looking into companies

Some companies are under Post-production, but they do games

They are multi-use houses/companies

Like Huhu, it is under Post-production when they do mostly animation

So look into many different companies, not just animation or game companies

I am looking into many different studios

Interesting

I have found some I can look more into

With all of these, I can now move to searching their studios for information and wants with possible worker requirements and aim my showreel for the companies' work/showreel

I will start with Yukfoo

I like the look of Yukfoo, and got inspired by some of their work

I am looking into Director Evan Viera

Yukfoo-Evan-Viera

His work is more in the field of what I also want to create, with stylised animation and beautiful storytelling

Here is his bio

Evan Viera is a multi-award winning animation director and composer whose work has screened in over a hundred festivals worldwide. He is ranked number 1 director in the world by the Cannes Lions Creativity Report 2018. Viera brings a distinctive style to all his work. Sonically and visually his work is saturated in mood and texture, and his multidisciplinary approach gives him a unique signature and voice. Viera was an invited presenter at Pixar Animation Studios, Ars Electronica Festival, and several universities across the US. His debut short animated film "Caldera" reached notable attention in 2012 when it premiered at SXSW and went on to compete in over 70 festivals worldwide. Along its yearlong festival run it picked up numerous awards, including the prestigious Prix Ars Electronica "Award of Distinction", competed in some of the world's most selective festivals, and earned over 1.5 million views online.

Yukfoo is based in Auckland and Melbourne. It started as a small animation studio in Auckland, but grew into a huge production company involving content creation, add making and storytelling/web-series
