Nikki Atkinson Animation: Showreel Update

Showreel Update

Untitled from Nicola on Vimeo.

I thought before it all kicks off this term I'd put together a rough showreel of my progress so far. This is just a rough update for me, hence the low quality rendering in some areas which am currently working on. It's refreshing to update my showreel every now and then and it also has helped me highlight which areas I need to produce more work in to bring it up to scratch for applying for jobs after my course. It has sound! And yup am aware I need to update the date! ;o)

Nice reel ! what are you up to these days ? Do you already know where you'll apply after your course in finished?

Do you still hang out with some DNeggers (I'm not sure I like this word contraction) ? I'd be glad to see you around a pint !

See you.

I'm a 3D Artist with experience working in feature films and commercials.

I have worked in special effects, at Double Negative Visual Effects and The Moving Picture Company for films such as Harry Potter, Clash of the Titans, 10 000BC and Cloverfield. A full filmography can be found on the IMDB link above. I am currently working at Cinesite London on Andrew Stanton's latest film as a Layout Artist.

I also have experience working for high profile clients such as Santander, Nike, Comfort and Orangina with The Mill's London Commercials Team. I have undertaken various generalist roles here, covering tracking, layout, animation, modelling, texturing and rendering, including stereoscopic work.

I was fortunate enough to be able to pass on some of my experience gained to University students at Chiang Mai University, Thailand as part of a British Council initiative. I have also worked as a Maya demonstrator for Character Animation students at Kingston University, UK.

My postgraduate study was in Character Animation where I gained a Postgraduate Diploma from Central St Martins in London in 2008. My undergraduate study was in Bournemouth where I graduated from the BA Computer Visualisation & Animation at the NCCA in 2006. I have undertaken numerous life drawing courses, including Life Drawing for Animators run by Central St Martins and animation classes run by an animation director with ten years experience at Disney.
