Portfolio website Up

www.nicolettekiss.com

My portfolio website is officially 100% 'complete' and up. I say 'complete' - because it will of course be updated ever after with new material as it comes through. I like this site design better than my 2007 site, and I'm content enough with it to keep it as my template for now. I might change the design one day, but I'd like to get back to focusing on animation and 3D now, so that's enough of Flash stuff.

It's been important to get my site up because it's a crucial part of my job search. Particularly in the case where I respond to job ads. The next phase in my student-to-worker transition is to make a DVD which I can hand out to production companies when I start cold canvassing. I've already purchased the Production Book and the Encore Directory, which are key resources listing production companies and such. I plan to research the companies and approach them one by one. At the same time, I need to start making some new material and practicing drawing and animation more.

My hope is that I can get some sort of foot in the door position, and have time on the side to work on improving my skills and for recreational/social things. I'm keen to be physically very active this year. I think being really fit can make you perform better. And it's fun and a great relaxation thing. Wish I lived by coast though - that's a way more inspiring location for exercise.
