SPB Business plan pitch

Business plan pitch notes:

Idea

For my business idea is to be as a freelance working within the Visual Effects and 3D animation industry. I`d like to be as FX Artist and XSI Artist .

I am planning to work in London, Hong Kong or Beijing. I am an undergraduate I don`t mind where can I work, I just want to quick to work and learn more knowledge from industry.

My Service

At the beginning, I will offer the service of XSI skills and animation skills, as this is considered as entry level and a way of moving on to Visual effects industry. After gaining experience I will be able to move on to VFX and offering a service as a VFX artist.

I feel happy to work unsociable hours and weekends. I can offer professional and efficient work. I am self motivated and hard working.

Marketing Strategy

In order to appear professional a set of marketing materials have been designed and produced, this is the business card and A CD sticker, it will be put onto my show reel and will be sent off to the companies which I applied. Besides business card and CD sticker, I also sign up blogger, Linked in and twitter, one way to display my show reel and animation work process, the other way is have a try to communicate with the companies

Competition

For my main competition is graduate as a fresh graduate, there will also be less experienced compare with who are already working in the industry for several years. For second competition is technique skills for VFX industry, as graduate we know less and unmeasured CG skills compare with people who working at industry. The third one is the visa problems compare with local people if I want to find a job in UK. Because I am an international student, if I want to work I need work permit to extent my visa date.

Financial Information

I will build up a personal website later it will cost £50 per year. The business cards and CD showreel stickers that have been produced have all been printed by me spent £50 per year. To requirement to buy personal software licences and hardware will spent more than £3900. For additional cast is Living expenses and treavel expense around £200

SUMMARY

I can work as XSI Artist and FX Artist.The key benefits for an employer from me are that I can provide quick, professional and efficiently work. I took lots of materials market, like business card and CD sticker. And a well-made show reel will help me to win over and get a job.
