Study Task 4
The ten best networking opportunities for me that I found are:
One
Manchester Animation Festival
Two
Leeds Young Film Festival Three
Animex Festival of Animation and Computer Games.I chose three festivals I would be the most interested in entering my work into. The festivals are my three choices when choosing the best networking opportunities for me. As festivals are a good way to get your work shown as people are able to view your work and may even go away talking about it. As well as entering your work into the festivals; festivals are also a good form of networking as professionals often talk about their work to a crowd at the events. After these events you are able to approach the professionals and introduce yourself.

Entering competitions online such as, LoopdeLoop or character design challenge on Facebook.
Six
Creating business cards and asking to display them in cafes and to have them on hand for when I'm in a professional situation.Seven
Joining a animation group that meet up and present work to each other. This is a positive network opportunity as you are able to discuss and gain ideas from other animations that may be in the same situation as you. Found on the website: https://www.meetup.com/topics/animation/gb/17/london/

Arranging my own meet-ups with different designers and animators so we can talk and discuss our work.
