• During my yearlong internship at the Walt Disney Company UK & Ireland I was responsible for creating a HTML5 Game that will be released later this year, alongside coding and animation assist on five more HTML5 catalogue games within my team. I had the opportunity to 3D model and animate character rigs and creatures for games within the Disney catalogue. This was an invaluable experience for me that taught me so much about who I want to be progressing in my career.

• During my time at Elstree Studios, I worked as an animation intern for the company King Bee Animation Studios. For this position, I was given the opportunity to create 2D & 3D character animation and background designs for a feature film.

• During my internship at the Bolton Film Festival, I acted as a compare for the numerous directors, crew and producers showcasing their films, introducing them to festival goers and represent their brands. Alongside this I helped organise the event and led a team of various other interns throughout the occasion. From this experience I was able gain hands on intel about the film industry and how different media of film are created.

During my internship with BFI I was allocated the role of a director during their internship to create a short film; I obtained a great deal of experience and knowledge during this course on how to organise and direct a team, create and film a short and the insight that goes behind a film set.
