Never been until this year. I chose to spend it meeting people I’ve always admired, getting invited to yachts, swimming in hotels I wasn’t staying at, mentoring students, eating free food,
and going to all the award shows and getting very inspired by a lot of it. Four shortlists, no lions, but an expanded view of the industry and many new acquaintances and connections

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
