The Archive of Archive - Welcome Week Part 2 - Archive Business

As well as the planned welcome week activities, Archive got up to a lot of other stuff along the way. One of the main events was an interview with multimedia video company Captive North, The original plan was for Merry and I to attend the interview together, but the enterprise team decided it would be better if only one of us were to go. So Merry headed off without me and I held the fort back in Huddersfield.

Thankfully I have been led to believe that the interview went rather well, and we got a test job. Sadly this was an unpaid one, but it's for a charity, so presumably they won't be making any money out of it either. So that's okay. By the end of the week we had begun to throw together a handful of ideas for the project, and scanned the leaflet it was to be based on so that we all had a copy.

The other big piece of news was a paid design brief from Marcus, another student from the centre. He wanted a 3 part animation series with 30 seconds in each clip. So we had that too and that was pretty cool. He had worked with Ink before, so we also knew what he was looking for from them. All in all, things were going well.

Additionally over the week, we did a few other jobs. We began looking into website designs, finalised our logo, animated said logo, and made a new showreel. We also did a whole bunch of planning and looking into prices. sadly we lost Beth halfway through the week but Merry and I continued doing planning, and got plenty of stuff done.
