Top 10 (Companies I would Like to Work for)

bIt is fortunate that big film productions are coming over to the UK due to the fact that it is too expensive to create films in America at this present time. This is good news as it means that it will mean more job opportunities in the film industry within the UK. This increase in film productions within the UK will also help the economy and may consequently cause growth in the film industry within the UK. Perhaps even new film studios will be built.

1.Warner Bros Studios is one of the companies I would primarily work for as many of their productions are made in the UK at studios such as Sheperton and Pinewood, but more notably Leavesden Studios which they have recently bought. This studio used to be a Rolls Royce factory/ aerodrome during the Second World War for aircraft. It is situated in West Hertfordshire and now serves as an important film studio in the UK. This studio became renowned due to the fact that all the Harry Potter films where made here. I was lucky enough to acquire a weeks worth of work experience during my GCSE year. Their productions are varied and well funded, I have heard they are good to work with, generally well organized and freelance artists are paid promptly.

2.20th Century Fox is another company I would like to have the chance to work for on future film prooductions. Many of Fox's productions like Warner Bros are made over in the UK in film studios such as Sheperton and Pinewood. I have heard that Fox is also well funded, well organised and a good company to work for in terms of experience and payment.

3.Universal is another film distribution company I would like to work for. They produce a variety of films/ genres, they are well organised and well funded and a good company to work for.

4.A small visual effects company based in Twickernham. They have worked on movies such as Kick Ass, Angels & Demons, Hellboy 2, Stardust, 10,000 BC, 28 Weeks Later. This would be appealing to me because it is a small business, however it has recently been looking to expand.

5.

A visual effects studio based in Soho, London. Very well known and a good company to work for. There is more security to work for a company such as this in terms of employment and payment, however freelancing at vfx studios such as this are not as common. However they often look for freelance concept artists for various projects.

6.I would like to work for double negative as it is an appealing vfx studio to work for. I have a few contacts working in the company. This is a very well known vfx studio based in London, Soho. It is easily accessible via the train. They are very good with their employees however deadlines are quick. I would love to work for this company as a conceptual artist/ 3D artist.

7.Framestore is another visual effects studio based in london Soho. It is a very prestigious vfx studio in the uk and worldwide. It has recently been looking to expand due to its success. It has worked on many films. Framestore frequently looks for freelance artists from outside it's studio. I have heard that Framestore is a good company to work for, the employees are well treated. They are organised, relaible and well funded.

8.

Another vfx studio based in Soho, London. Small but growing yet renowned for their work. Easily accessible via the train. They also look for artists from outside.

9.

I would love to work for Blizzard, which is an American games company. It would mean that I would probably have to move out to America. It is perhaps my favourite games company due to the fact that story, design and gameplay is clearly important to the people who work there.

10.

I would like to work for Bungie, which is an American games company. It would mean that I would probably have to move out to America. It is perhaps my favourite games company due to the fact that story, design and gameplay is clearly important to the people who work there.
