Square Zero are a design company who produce a wide range of digital work, mixing live action with digital media and specialise in high quality 2D and 3D animation for corporate, broadcast advertising and live events. Some of their clients include the BBC, Disney, LG, Burberry and other big brand names. Their showreel has some pretty nice pieces, with a lot of styles and work I'm interested in, like their commercial work and high quality realistic renders.
Broadening my search beyond only CG companies I have been looking into th1ng, an 'animation, graphics and mixed media production company. They produce a wide variety of work to a very high specification, creating mostly commercials and for well known clients. They also do a lot of work in editing and post production, which I have since come to love as we edited our film over the past week. Their website doesn't have any vacancies but if I have no success up North I will be emailing all of the Southern companies and studios with my details and showreel to see if they have any positions that suit my abilities. This is of course if they don't have job opportunities on their website, even then it would be good to get my name in their system.
I have been quite fortunate in my choice of specialised skill, as a lot of the jobs available now (that I have found in abundance anyway) for animation are for people with CGI knowledge. Which really increases my chance of getting a job in an area that I want, as opposed to settling for something that I didn't really want to do...even though I would start with any job just to get into the animation industry.
