I’m very happy being based in London and I think that staying here will provide me with the most job prospects as an entry level artist. However, I really enjoy the excitement of moving to new places and would be very open to relocating both within the UK and overseas. I will be moving away from London after graduation to have some time at home and spend a few months travelling, and I think that this will be a really good opportunity to consider my options and look into what the industry is like in different places. I would really love to move to another European city like Amsterdam or Berlin, and am also particularly interested in looking into what the industry has to offer in Scandinavia and Canada. I would consider going to America for a short time especially if I was able to work for one of the big animation studios, however I don’t see myself there for the long term. A good way to narrow down on my options might be to find specific studios and keep an eye on their career pages or send speculative applications. It feels slightly overwhelming to weigh up all of these options and look for jobs all over the world, but I think it’s good to have an open mind and look to move overseas while I can. Although I don’t have a clear path ahead of me I think I have made some good starting points and am well equipped to find my way into the industry, wherever that may be.
