The first networking event that I went to was a virtual studio tour at Firebelly. The event was hosted by AIGIA Colorado. Firebelly is a small studio company.  The senior design director is Will Miller. Will was the main presenter at the event. Everyone from the company that was there, introduced themselves and said what they do at the company.  Will did a presentation showing some of their previous projects. He also talked about their project process, which starts with research, their research leads to them planning out how they are going to execute their project and the final step in the process is documentation. 

The next part of the event a Q&A. I asked if they do a lot of motion design projects? Will answered an said “ Lately, we’ve been doing a ton. Starting with the idea of motion first.” Someone followed up with a Question about what applications they use when do a motion design project? Will mentioned many different applications, such as a well known application called After Effects. Someone also asked about tips for getting hired at an agency? Some of the tips that were given were:Building an identity.
Make sure your work matches what they are looking for.Show them how you think and approach design.

The final section was the Virtual tour of the studio. Everyone’s  workstation in the main room was separated by portions to maintain social distancing during the pandemic.
