so I got accepted

Post by DistortedStu » 23 May 2013, 13:49

So some of you know I had an interview with Ubisoft for a position as an animator... AND I GOT IT.
Holy balls. So yeah I know some of you wanted to know how I got on and don't worry I'll still be playing on the server :-) :lol:

@Invun: I'm sure there'll be some form of confidentiality stuff going on, plus internal compartmentalisation.

@Stu: Whenever something you've worked on has been released and you're allowed to talk about it I'd like to know what you did - SO I CAN JUDGE.

And congrats!

Congratz Stu! And also Invun there is a massive confidentiality thing, if they find a leak then they will find them and they are out of a job and will then not be able to join most games companies :P (I know a guy who tests for Nintendo)

Oh wow, congrats!

I'd never realised you were an animator. May we see the showreel/portfolio you applied with? I have some friends trying to break into animation & it'd be cool to have a benchmark for what it takes.

Here's another question for you that's hopefully a bit more feasible: What game department (if it's not confidential) are you working in at Ubisoft?

Oh, and congrats on your new job (seems I left that out of my first post :P)!
