Visiting Blink Ink was a really exciting opportunity to see a working studio which was surprisingly local to my area. I absolutely loved the studio and the work they make and it was really useful to learn how they operate. Specialising in short-form content, their projects are extremely versatile covering all kinds of animation techniques for music videos, advertisement and entertainment. They don’t have a permanent team but instead keep a roster of animators and creatives who they hire for particular projects, hence their diverse and polished portfolio. This is a great example of how working as a freelancer can be beneficial to an artist, as they can work on different kinds of projects whilst being part of a big team. This made me feel more positive about the possibility of working as a freelancer and also as a mixed media artist, as Blink Ink show that there is space for all kinds of techniques in commercial animation.
