University of Hertfordshire looking for guest speakers please
quad damage
Hello
The University of Hertfordshire is looking for industry guest speakers to talk on any Wednesday 1-2pm from now until mid May 2015, and if you can hang back for a little portfolio critique for an hour or two after the talk that would be great.
We can pay for your effort, if you are interested then give me a PM and I will book you in.

Talks normally last 45 minutes and then we have a little Q&A. If you wish to stay longer then you are welcome to come before and or after the talk where you are welcome to help out in the students professional practice lesson. We are based 22minutes train ride from St Pancras International/Kings Cross central London.
We are happy to have any subject covered at any level from junior/indie up to CEO level. If you have strong academic standing, award winning books, lots of Ph.D’s, over 20 honorary doctoral degrees then that’s a bonus but really not essential, students see practitioners (you guys) as rock stars so just being here and talking to them really does make them very very happy.
- Character Animation
- Motion Capture
- Visual FX
- Environment Modelling
- Character Modelling
- Technical Art
- Technical Animation (Rigging, etc)
- Cutscene Animation
- Facial Capture
- Also anything in the area, this goes for 2D, VFX and 3D Animation
The UHAnimation students and lecturer staff are really keen and would love to listen to what you have to say, here are some kind words from past speakers if it helps.
John Laws | Head of Art | Frontier
“UH is one of the few Universities teaching the correct fundamental skills required by the games industry – you have the right mix of traditional theory and cutting edge digital art creation, and understand that the tech is a tool rather than the end in itself. I’m impressed.”

Ian Yarwood-Lovett | Franchise Art Director | Microsoft Games Studio
“Visiting the UHanimation course was a real eye opener for me; the quality of work produced coupled with the enthusiasm of the students makes this course one we’ll be watching very closely in the future.”

Louise Ridgeway | Head of Animation | Rare Ltd | Microsoft Games Studio
‘What a pleasure it has been visiting the University of Hertfordshire for film day again this year. They again proved that they are one of the top uni’s for the industry at the moment, with another outstanding show of effort and commitment by a great bunch of enthusiastic students. A diamond in the rough.’

"The student work coming out of University of Hertfordshire is studio ready. Just watch the showreel and you'll see how talented the students are at this school. I always enjoy seeing what the students at the University are creating with ZBrush and are always blown away by the top notch quality."
