Second Home

After the lecture from Second Home I was blown away. I thought , heres a studio based in my home town that are truly exciting and most of all innovative. Afterwards I stayed behind and talked to Jim (Producer at the studios) about he came to do what he does. I explained that I was Hoping one day to become a producer and he gave me a huge amount of really sound advice. I also asked about work experience("I will make your tea I think is the way I Phrased it).He mentioned the possibility that I may be able to get in on some work experience at some point and said to e-mail him some time. 

I sent the following e-mail.

 Hello Jim and Chris.

My name is Kyle Jobson. I attended the lecture you gave about Z printers at Birmingham City University; the lecture blew my mind(I am actually seriously considering pawning my family in order to fund one). I spoke to Jim after the lecture (hopefully you remember me). I am aspiring to become a producer and am looking for as much experience within industry as is physically possible. Not only will this expand my knowledge of animation and film production further, But also it will help me to put into practice the theory and skills i have learnt during my degree course and see how they work in real life production situations. 

Jim did say that when there isn't a project some of time. He also said at these times the majority of your time is spent phoning clients, finding possible projects, if you ever need an extra pair of hands(or vocal chords), tea making, or to that ends anything, i would be willing and more than glad to help out. I think it is important that i have experiences of working studios to ensure i leave university with as much knowledge of industry as I can.

If there are any opportunities within Second Home Productions, either working on an animation project or helping with anything else, (i also have experience theatre and live action) it would be much appreciated.

If this is not possible then i understand and thank you very much for your time.

Any advice would be willingly received.

Yours sincerely 

Kyle Jobson

To Which I quickly received the following reply

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for your email, and your offer of an extra pair of hands or vocal chords! We're currently in a pre-pitch stage of production on a project, but already have a small team assembled to help with that. If you can bear with us, we'll definitely keep you in mind for future work experience.

All the best

Jim

So Nothing just yet but fingers crossed for the future.
