7 • What You Did & How You Did It

Employers don’t just want to see a finished product; they want to know how you created it. This will not only aide in establishing your ownership of the work but it also helps to illustrate your methods, which is crucial information to an employer. It can bring further focus to your attention-to-detail and can help to clarify your process.

Visual Breakdowns

A visual breakdown is used to visually illustrate how a product is put together. This can be used for a single shot, a sequence of shots and even a still image. They are designed to show the viewer that you have a firm understanding of the process, a good methodology, you don’t cut corners and you pay close attention to the fine details required to produce a great product.

A visual breakdown should always be offered as a form of artwork itself, and should always be presented in a polished and entertaining way. It’s important to recognize the massive opportunity this affords for bringing further focus to you as an artist. This trick is fairly unknown by most people and it’s a great way for you to stand out against other artists with similar final product. Use this opportunity wisely and never underestimate the power, when it comes to showcasing and presenting your breakdowns.

If you’re a Modeler, show your wireframe topology, if you are a Rigger, show the viewer what’s going on under the mesh. If you’re an animator, you could include a picture-in-picture of the storyboards or animatics, this shows your ability to interpret a brief and an awareness of common practices.
