Talk with Sophie Koko Gate

I’m really thankful to Sophie for her insight into the industry. She was kind enough to bring up budgets and day rates with us. She also talked us through having a personal as well as a commercial style to be a more successful freelancer until our personal work can pay for everything. 

It was really good to look at her pitch examples and find out how to market our ideas and make them approachable and exciting.

She also took some time to speak to me and my aspirations. I managed to show her my Production Schedule and express my interest in Production Management. Having learnt that I previously did sculpture and was now specialising in 2D animation, she recommended I look at applying to BlinkInk Studios as they work in many different styles.

Funnily enough, apparently last year she spoke to a student in the same seat last year who is now working in Production. Fingers crossed!
