Animation / Game Design

Depending on what your work is, you will have either a “reel” that will combine footage from your best projects in some artful and entertaining way or a print book showcasing your sketches, environments or characters. Show your reel on a DVD and your book in a professional binder.  Digital copies should go on a website.
