Hasta La Motion!

I’m an animation/VFX student researching employment in the VFX industry to help me prepare for graduate employment (and to give a presentation next week), I really could use 2 minutes of your time to answer my very brief questionnaire; just 10 questions
Simple mathematics would suggest that it’ll be at least half as fun as ‘20 questions’

Feel free to skip any you don’t want to answer.

If you enjoy that or just feel like helping a young fellow creative then I would love to hear from you at:
matthew6.wood(at)live.uwe.ac.uk
(that also serves as proof that I’m a student, like you needed any – I’m posting questionnaire at 2:30pm on a work day)

I welcome any and all comments on the questions, do tell me if you think they could be improved.

Thanking you in advance (and for all the help this forum has given in the past),
