At the start of week i was quite nervous, i wasn't quite sure what to expect and i felt a pressure to keep up an appearance, i would quickly learn that it wasn't as intense as i initially thought and felt very welcome and more excited to get to work.
Traveling to work on the tube in London was another thing i was a little apprehensive about but at the end of the day i felt i knew it a little better. How i felt about living in London was something i wanted to look at while i was there and continued to do so.
First days roles - my task was to animate a title screen from assets provided. Assets weren't optimised for animation so had to work longer on fixing than animating, but it got me learning illustrator, aspects like layers working separately from paths, however i noticed there was a strange difference between the way vectors worked in illustrator and after effects which i never quite understood and just had to work around by doing things like expanding paths due to a texture path over the top of it acting strange in after effects.
Meeting everyone was another big deal for me, and i got the chance to do a little bit of networking at lunch as we all went out for a burger at lunch, i only got to meet around 3 people of the creative team besides Fiona and it felt quite small and we didn't see very much of Tim throughout the day. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, particularly Rob and Ollie, the head of design and designer respectively. Furthermore their help offering feedback on the project throughout the day was helpful.
Fiona helped us a lot in getting started and then left us to it, this really helped me settle in but was also incredibly helpful in giving us a place to stay and even getting this placement in the first place so a special thank you to her.
