We are offering an opportunity for a motion graphic artist or animator to come and hot desk at our St Agnes studio in Cornwall with a view to starting a creative relationship together and work on paid commercial projects.
This would suit a freelancer who is looking for a space to work but also is looking to work on high end commercial projects.

Experience
It is important to have experience while applying for a job, this is because if you don’t have experience then for a job that might need to be done within a short space of time, you will be at the bottom of the queue because they don’t have time to train you. If you can get experience then you are more likely to be picked out of a crowd because you already know what you are doing which makes everything in the industry a whole lot easier. The more your CV shows above everyone else the more experience you will keep on getting and it will just become a cycle of more and more experience which looks very good to employers and especially for freelance jobs because they will have trust in you that you know what you are doing and that you will get the job done and in a quick time frame. A lot of responsibility is being put on you to do a job that someone else could do so having as much experience as you can is essential.
