MAF Volunteer Application
On the train ride up to university, I got a notification about a great opportunity Annabeth posted in the university's Facebook animation group.
After seeing this post, I thought on the spot to fill in the volunteer application form on two different browsers. After my lecture, I’ll submit the applications when I’ve got my profile picture from my computer. I thought even if I apply to be a volunteer and not get the opportunity it’s no big deal but it would be amazing if I was accepted.
Briefing Lecture
In today’s lecture, we talked about the assignment briefing going over what was needed for the
module and tasks that are needed to be completed.
Manchester Animation Festivial
First we talked about the upcoming animation festival, MAF and I’m looking forward to the event. I
hope I get chosen to be a festival volunteer as I won’t have to pay for a pass to access the festival
and I’ll receive some highly industry experience. Annabeth told the class that if we haven’t bought a
ticket/pass, yet we should hurry up as there is only 6 weeks left till order a ticket/pass because there
selling out fast.
MAF Marketspace (17th November)
One event at the festival that she brought to the class’s attention (for the module) was the MAF Marketplace where all the animation industry studios meet. This is an important event I really need to attend so I can give my business card to each studios that is right for me. Hopefully doing this, it should give me more engagement on my socials and possibly a future job. So I need to get my business card finished and printed for the festival.
MAF Schedule
Afterwards, we bruise through the schedule shoes to have a look at some events that would be
popular for the festival.
Professional Contexts
