A New Project For Nano Films!

Here at animation Apprentice we believe not just in training our students for a career in the animation industry, but we think we can do better - and actually find them jobs. Partly, this involves placing students in internships, recommending them for work whenever opportunities arise. But we can be more proactive than this, by taking on small freelance jobs at Nano Films, making short films for commercial clients and utisiling our pool of talented students to do the animation. Just recently we brought in a new job for a repeat customer, on our tight deadline. So, what can our apprentice animators expect if they get involved?

Nano Films

What's the project?
It's a 2D animated project for a client we have worked for before. Repeat business is always the best kind!

What is the film about?
It is a short promotional film for a new product being launched by the company. The film runs around 40 seconds.

Is it a paid gig?
Yes. We can't pay much, since we bid low to get the job, but we can pay students a modest rate for their time.

Is is worth doing?
Definitely. Getting paid experience on a live brief is always worth doing. It helps to build your commercial experience and get great work for your demo reel.
