We met up with Luke Youngman one of the head directors at the studio.
He showed us some of the work produced by the company and explained that Nexus is an agency that connects the client with a designer with regards to what the client is after and who will be the most suited.
I hada tour of the studio which was a very big size with floors of rows of designers, Luke explained that the designers usually are put together with regards to who is working on which projects so that the communication is better.
The studio is led by a team of technical directors, animators, designers,coders and artists backed by an animation and VFX pipeline capable of producing multiple high-end 3D projects. It also provides the creative and logistical support to our live-action and stop frame productions.
He showed us some of the work the company has produced for clients and explained that they always have numerous amounts of projects running at one given time and that it takes a lot of organisation between the employees there in order to keep on top of everything.
As a means of advice for me as a student he mentioned that sending in a show reel that i have made sure to have up to the highest standard i can and not just a half hearted pice is needed, as well as a good length, of about a minute, and to use the appropriate names when emailing, not just a copied an pasted email that looks like it has been sent around to lots of studios and sending of the most recent work i have been working on as well would be a good idea as its shows how i have been active with my work.
Because of the dynamics of the studio and the ability they have to pull in lots of different designers and people to work for the clients they produce a large amount of work and a very varied style of work which broadens the pool of clients they work for.
Examples of some of their work:
