🌟 Week 7 A massive thanks to Lucid Games Ltd Sarah Akers Hollie Newsham Kristjan Zadziuk and Rebellion Saija Wintersun for taking part in our University of Central Lancashire Heading into the Games Industry Q&A series 🌟 Hollie, Kristjan and Sarah’s visit to the studio was great fun, full of energy and fascinating seeing the mo-cap demo brought to life. And Saija’s refreshing take on the realities of trying to enter the industry as a junior and how competitive it is, lit a fire in our students’ ambitions to become the best in their fields. “Kristjan, Sarah & Hollie's motion capture demo was fantastic, not only was it extremely fascinating and informative but also genuinely engaging and fun. The way Kristjan spoke about creating and capturing character through motion capture and the way he directs his performers was really intriguing to me as a screenwriting student with an interest in directing. Kristjan put his all into the demo and Hollie & Sarah showed off the technology and spoke about their experiences with a real passion. A great experience I've been telling everyone about!” - Joey Bond MA Screenwriting “The talk with Lucid was both one of the most fun and engaging talks that we have had and with them coming in person I felt I was able to see the process of motion capture and understand it better. I also really enjoyed the way Kristjan engaged with us as a class and kind of let us direct the actions he would capture.” – Alex Page Year 2 “As always, the Lucid team were great at the studio. I love how they pride themselves on being a place for support, education, and development. Hearing about mo cap is one thing but being able to see it in real time was incredible. Time seemed to pass really quickly with how engaging and fun the demo was. The chance to interact and have your ideas recorded was really cool. Overall, a great talk that I’d see again.” Alex Duncan Year 3 " Saija has been fantastic in the studio talk and gave an amazing perspective of what the industry is really like, which is always great to see!! Also, the tips Saija gave about how to use existing art and real-life references and take inspiration from them to make it your own art were truly wonderful.  Furthermore, I deeply appreciated the information Saija shared about what to include in our art portfolios in order to really highlight our best work and capabilities and have the highest chances of being hired!! Thank you for your time with us Saija :D " Dawid Kordalski Year 3 “I thought that Saija's talk was brilliant! It kept the expectations and reality of what the industry will be like realistic without being too overbearing and off-putting. And she gave very clear useful advice on what to do and what not to do when it came to portfolios and applying for jobs which I found very helpful :) Thank you to Saija for using your time to come and see us !!” El Rose Pockert Year 3 #gamesindustry #inspiring #designstudentcareers #ambitions
