Subject: Employment – Job Description - 3D Animation Motion Capture
PostingID: 346-***-****
I am writing in reply to the Craigslist ad seeking to fill the position for 3D
Animation Motion Capture.
Since completing my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Computer Animation at Pratt
Institute, I’ve come to understand the complete process from concept to the completion of
a short film. By working on my senior project I became skilled at all aspects of the
pipeline that goes into a short film, including modeling, rigging and texturing multiple
characters, along with modeling and texturing environments, key frame animating and
lighting scenes. In addition to the technical skills that I developed while making my short
film I learned a great deal about time management as well. Along with my senior project,
working freelance has allowed me opportunities to incorporate direction and feedback
into my work and to meet deadlines.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to meet with you to
discuss this career opportunity.
Sincerely,
Matt Nelson
