When I was applying to Blue Zoo internship and researching the company, I found out they provide Albert training to their staff – Blue Zoo is a B Corporation and it’s very important to them to create sustainably.

Upon researching further, the training is provided online by BAFTA and available to individuals. The page states it’s aimed at those in production roles, so I reached out to see whether I could attend as an aspiring production assistant – which was absolutely okay!

It was extremely informative to know what counts towards a sustainability rating and how one can acquire sustainable production certificate.

And now I’m trained in Sustainable Production.

Before attempting backgrounds for the final piece, I looked into various Animation Background Painters’ work. I don’t expect my work to be at that level, however, it was very informative to see their workflow and gave me tools to feel more confident about the next steps. I have linked the videos below if anyone wants to explore them further.
