PERSONAL STATEMENT
I believe in researching thoroughly into information to make sure it is accurate when my client receives it. I have learned
skills in 3D modelling on a computer and am able to use tools such as Light wave, Adobe flash and Microsoft office with
confidence. I always strive for the best results in any task I set out to do. I have also used Game engines like Unity and
Game Maker thoroughly and have experience in making games with said engines.
Other more practical skills I have gained are drawing accurate sketches of the Human physique and Natural/Human
made terrain such as Buildings, Mountains and Fields. While also being taught how to create original characters with a
design pack, mood boards and idea generation/concept art to prove their originality. I’m a very fond reader which takes
up most of my leisure time, while the rest goes to video games and going out with friends.
Personal Statement Guidance
Identify and then cite some examples of your technical skills, soft skills and personal interests. Be positive and include anything and
everything at this stage.
What skills do you possess now?
I always check numerous sources both online and by speech and reading books, you can never be too sure
otherwise. I have a lot of experience creating mood boards, mind maps and questionnaires. I always strive to be on
time and to present myself accordingly in every occasion, I consider myself to have great team working skills and to
be good at pitching/describing my ideas, with the ability to correctly and accurately criticise my own work to
improve already completed work. My skill range covers both 2D and 3D animation. E.g.: Stop motion, hand-drawn,
adobe flash and Light wave. To do this I believe I have good concept art skills that can accurately convey how I think
a particular idea should look.
