Hello Cg Talk Community!
This is my first post as I just registered on this amazing forum! So I am currently a Computer Animator Student on Full Sail University. As many of you know it is an accelerated university, 2 classes per month and 24/7 schedule.I am on my last year, my expected graduation date is on February 2015. I am interested on doing an internship this upcoming summer 2014. Why you may ask? I want hands on experience, to expand my knowledge and doing an internship will help with that. As the school does not gives you off time to go and do your internship and they tell you to do it after you graduate I will need to take the summer off to do mine. I can do it and it will not penalize me at all I will just graduate two or three months later than expected. Anyways I was researching for internships for summer 2014 and they all required some a demo reel. So I was wondering how can I do my demo reel? I have all my work from my classes saved on an external hard drive but that’s about it it of what I have. Are there any internships that I can do that don’t require that demo reel? I am not looking for a paid internship as I just want it for the experience and I am willing to travel basically anywhere. I am also willing to take any internship during the upcoming months not necessarily the summer, I can just take X amount of months off to complete the internship. If anyone can guide me into the correct path that will be great. Please comment your suggestions!
