Dear Hiring Manager,
On September 23, 2010, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Media Arts & Animation from The Art Institute of California – San Francisco. While in school, I worked diligently with animators, modelers, professors, and industry professionals, which has extended my knowledge and passion for setting up and rigging characters as well as mechanical models. I am very excited to gain an opportunity for me to grow professionally and start my career as well as fulfill your need for a hard working, flexible and enthusiastic employee.
Through the supervision of my professors and team work with my peers at The Art Institute, I have developed great communications skills working within large groups and small teams. My group projects were effective because in addition to being able to animate and rig, I scheduled team meetings outside from class, maintained notes regarding ideas and opinions, and effectively multi-tasked. Honing this range of skills definitely increased my knowledge of character animation tools such as Maya and connected me with animators and modelers so that I could create successful, efficient, animation friendly rigs by using skeletal and deformation systems. Also, I am proficient in designing user controls and interfaces for facial blendshapes.
I know I can make a great impact quickly. A demo reel is attached demonstrating my artistic creativity and technical comprehension. My resume has been attached to my profile in your website, and my demo reel can be viewed at http://www.wix.com/ariannev/ariannevelasco. I thank you in advance for the opportunity to meet with you as I am eager to demonstrate that I could be one of your best and brightest employees at your company.
Sincerely yours,
Arianne P. Velasco
