Dear Hiring Manager:

 

       Through the recommendation of California State University – Fullerton (CSUF) Visual Art Department, I am seeking a position as a 2D artist at Walt Disney Animation Studio. My area of special study is Animation. It focuses on both 2D transitional animation and 3D CG animation. I’m a current undergraduate student from CSUF. I’m planning to graduate in spring 2015 with a BFA degree in Animation. My overall GPA is 3.41. I have been to U.S. for 4 years for studying art and animation.

      The fine art foundation can helps me to have a better understanding of lighting and anatomy in animation projects. My experience of Maya can contribute to a 3D animation projects. Microsoft office skills will helps me to be organized and able to handle the presentation. More than that, the athletic experience gives me the sprite of team work. It can also help me to understand body movement in actual animation projects.      

      I love to help people. All my experience comes from volunteers jobs in AGS Honor Society in Santa Monica College or individual. I helped Heal the Bay, APLA, LA Marathon, Hollywood Half Marathon, Nike She Run, Malibu Creek Run, and LMU Special Games. As a student volunteer, I achieved 30 hours of volunteer work with and 3.75 GPA for spring 2012 semester.   I am also an easy going personal who is good with children. I like to ride random bus routes for sketching people.  

Thank you for your time and I’m looking forward to hearing back from you!

Sincerely

 

Weikai Chen
