The Artist’s Journey: What Are Top Studios Looking For?

Описание: Join us for our next installment of “The Artist’s Journey!” This livestream series focuses on some of the commonly asked questions from aspiring artists. From how to stay inspired to the types of skills studios are looking for, the topics in this series aim to challenge the everyday barriers artists face and provide valuable insight from industry professionals working in the field.
We are thrilled to welcome Grazia Como (Netflix Animation) and Steve Meim to the Gnomon streams. As recruiters, they often run into common questions from young artists: What are recruiters at top studios looking for? What do they want to see in my portfolio? What skills are important beyond just my artistic ability?

Our host, Adam Hartel, will be speaking with these recruiters to get an inside perspective on how they seek out new talent. Viewers will get a better understanding of how to stand out to studios and will also have the opportunity to ask questions in the chat!

Immediately following this stream, Adam will be sharing a brief presentation about careers for artists in games, animation, and visual effects, and how Gnomon has been training some of the industry’s top talent for the past 25 years.

Events with closed captioning are available via Gnomon's Facebook Page.
