The evening will be a chance for runner applicants to meet like-minded people as well as some of The Mill's leading talent who will be able to guide you through what to put in your showreels (and what not!), what entry level positions are available as well as lots of their own work which you can pick their brains about.

What Work They Do:
The website for this company shows the clients they have worked with and the work they have produced to be on a large scale and have created pieces for numerous commercials many of which we will have seen on tv ourselves such as pencil adverts, burger king adverts, nhs adverts and more.
Cancer research the lump:
AMV worked with director Sam Caadman out of Rogue to create a poignant reminder that lumps that go un-noticed and un-treated can be deadly.
The ad highlights how people often ignore the early signs of cancer, featuring a lump in the road, left to grow, being seemingly ignored by hundreds of passers by.
The Mill's 2D team helped to integrate the lump seamlessly into the pavement in Flame, whilst Mill colourist Matt Osborne added a natural grade.

Then in 2002 The Mill opened a studio in New York, becoming the first uk visual effects house to do so.
Following the success of this studio, The Mill was launched in Los Angeles in 2007 - the first UK visual effects house to open on the West Coast - and once again, the new venture was highly successful.

Why i chose to look into this company:
The videos available on their website showing the work they have created shows a vast range of the aspects and nieces within motion design showing work that uses CGI, stop motion, Visual effects, 3D, 2D, commercial, music videos, gaming, filming shoots etc and probably more examples than what i have listed. I love the variation and room for creativity that this company offers and find the work they produce massively inspirational.
I think this studio is a good place for me to start looking into the industry to start to develop my path in the this career and help me find work to inspire my own. It is all precision and pristine work yet the creativity has not been squeezed out and there is still the presence of that creative spark that makes the audience think, or enthralled or question what it is they are viewing etc and is done very well.
