    Personal Statement Eilidh Norris

    The idea of animation has always fascinated me; the way one person can single
    handedly craft a living, breathing piece of art. To push so much love and passion into
    their work and truly bring it to life, it was always so unbelievable, so admirable, yet so
    tantalising. I truly never considered it as a career option, it seemed too surreal; but
    that was the appeal. Something so far from the 9-5 office job, the challenge and the
    risk reward nature of the industry. It truly was something to be desired.
    I have always had a deep appreciation for all forms of animation, not only for the
    entrainment value but also the technical aspect. Even as a child I watched cartoons
    constantly amazed by the thought of every movement a character made, was drawn
    by a human being a thousand times over.
    Animation, thankfully, is being more appreciated as a medium for art and storytelling
    and is finally leaving the stigma of animation being made solely for children. With
    every other medium you have limitations for storytelling, with movies you must rely
    on actors, books a readers imagination, but animation? If you have the skill and the
    imagination, you can truly craft worlds of your own making, full of characters of your
    design and stories for other people to explore, enjoy and appreciate. That to me, is
    the greatest reward of all.
    I feel I have the drive to survive this industry, I am relentless once I have a goal in
    sight. I am constantly wanting to learn and grow, not only my skills, but as a person
    as well. I want to work alongside likeminded people, to learn from them and
    collaborate. To take my studies to university and to have the opportunity to continue
    learning and developing my skills would be incredible. I want to not only survive the
    brutal creative industry; I want to strive.
    I am currently doing a HND course in 3D animation and I am truly enjoying every
    aspect of it, the programs, the techniques and simply the fact that I see it as my first
    foothold in the industry. I really have learned and grown a lot from the time I have
    spent in this course, I truly do feel like I am in the right direction for a happy and
    fulfilling career. This is why the prospect of studying even further in university fills me
    with such unbelievable motivation to strive to be the best I can within this course to
    liken my chances.
    There are so many figures within the animation industry that I respect and desire to
    one-day stand beside. But none have been as influential on my life than Rebecca
    Sugar. I have followed her work for years, when she started as a simple storyboard
    artist for 'Adventure Time' to then progressing as one of the head writers. But it was

    when she took a leap and pitched a pilot to her own cartoon show, 'Steven Universe',
    and got it greenlit that I truly found myself inspired, she worked her way up to finally
    being given the chance to let her own ideas grow to fruition.
    Rebecca Sugar is the first ever woman to go on and create a cartoon show in
    Cartoon Networks twenty-one-year history; and I aim to be the second.
