I have just under 5 months to create a whole portfolio to apply for university (to study BA in CG & Animation), which is quite hard when I want to specialise in stop-motion...so five months its really only a few moments in the grand scale of individually shot images...However, onward & upward, I've never been defeated by a deadline yet and do not plan to start now!

I plan to split my work to do into categories to ensure I cover everything they could possibly want to see to an admissions portfolio:


  • Human & Animal (and botanical) Drawings

  • Storyboards

  • Project on self exploration - create an alter ego (insert dossier) and create a maquette/armetuer to practise basic moments

  • Sculptural evidence

  • People in motion

  • Sketchbooks & Research

  • Graphic Design evidence (easiest part!Im that much of a geek im always editing something on the computer)

  • Concept Art

  • Completed Scripts  / Ideas / Mind Maps "The art of storytelling"

  • Evidence of using and understanding programmes such as Photoshop/Maya

  • Photography - also Soundscaping

  • Character Designs

  • Evidence of previous animations / tests/ works in progress (I plan to also use some old fine art installations & films)
Thats the main ones....I think a bit of each will be a nice mix - lets just hope I can pull it off! If anyone has been on an animation course or would know what they are particularly looking for in such a portfolio leave a comment! Would be greatly appreciated, thanks
