Editing role in the Animation Production Industry

What I always wanted to do since I was a child was editing in the Production industry.


I have been informed of a site which is useful in engaging the career I want to pursue in which is www.creativeskillset.org 


The website helps in get involved in networking as in todays society, the best way to get one foot into the production industry is to have links with people that are already there.


I believe that my hard skills are using software's such as Adoble After Effects and Premier as well as Photoshop.


Not only will u need good skills in Animation editing but it is important that the individual has excellent soft skills such as the following which I found in a vacancy on the Creative Skills Set website.

Networking Research

Here are a few events that have caught my eye.... Most of them are in London the capital of England. To be fair, most job opportunities are in the Capital.
