industry professionals who would come and give us advice. It felt like we were connecting with really established creatives already in industry. All of

It's really important to collaborate with other industry professionals like animators for your career because when you're actually out there working in the industry, you're always getting a brief from a director or from an animator.

Engaging with industry professionals so early on in your studies really sets you apart.
