Dear
Please give yourself the time to read what I have given
you here from top to bottom, it paints quite a picture.
Between 9.12.97 and 16.1.98 my two portfolios were
left at the developments office in St
Martins College for viewing, to support my application
for a place on the Computer Animation Course.
After being turned down for a place I asked the college
for some feedback so that I would know what was lacking
in my work.
At first this was coldly refused.
Consequently I spent the next few days beseeching in
various quarters of the college to get this feedback.
As a result I recieved a phone call from Mr St John
Walker who gave the following explanation.
| 1 / |
My portfolios contained insufficient
life drawing. |
| 2 / |
There were no examples of sequential drawing. |
| 3 / |
My work was not really suitable for animation
anyway. |
| 4 / |
Lots of applications, high standards,Etc,Etc,Etc. |
The computer Animation Course runs for six months full
time (40 hours per week) and offers a BTEC - PDC. This
tells me that the course is very thorough, and starts
at the very beginning.
A number of computer professionals, before and after
my application, have said they think my work is very
well suited to Computer Animation. This is especially
true of my A1, hand painted portfolio.
Should you be curious, my portfolios can be re-viewed.
I do not consider any part of what I have given you
here, to be confidential.

Yours Sincerely
Sean Bryson
