Beakus launch NewD graduate competition!
Beakus are going to help kick-start the careers of budding new animators with the launch of NewD 2015!
Short for ‘New Director’ NewD 2015 challenges animators to create a 10-second clip on the theme Being Bold. They are looking for new animation graduates from UK courses to compete to win a paid internship at our thriving London studio, with the aspiration of becoming represented as a commercials director.
Alongside Beakus producers Steve Smith and Laura Thomas, they have an amazing jury of industry glitterati whose job it’ll be to handpick the best of the bunch –
- Bruce McKelvie (Head of Film, M&C Saatchi)
- Jon Creamer (Deputy Editor, Televisual)
- Adrian Johnson (Illustrator extraordinaire)
- Morwenna Gordon (Comedy Development Exec, Sky)
Entrants need to complete a form at www.beakus.com/newd before 1st June, and then send their completed Being Bold animation by 24th June.
All details are at www.beakus.com/newd. There’s also a nifty little movie to promote the competition:
It’s a wonderful opportunity for animation graduates to stand head-and-shoulders above their peers, and gain a foothold in our industry.
Beakus has a history of developing new talent and are really excited to see what this year’s graduates can do!
