With my move to Bath coming in a few months I thought it best to begin looking for places to apply for work there. Specifically in the animation and graphics industry...
The closest option for an animation company in Bath is Island Monkey (http://www.islandmonkey.net/home.htm), who are located right in the center of Bath city.
They specialise in 3D animation specifically in the pharmaceutical, manufacturing and architectural industries, so I'll have to do some work learning 3D modelling and building a relevant portfolio before I apply there. It's a possibility for the future though, I could see myself doing this type of animation as it focuses almost entirely on the modelling rather than animation.
Another animation company still in Bath center is Big Squid (http://www.bigsquid.net/). Big Squid animate for commercial TV, so far have completed projects for BBC history documentaries, special effects for children's shows and various commercials. There's a little bit more traditional work here, so it's somewhere I'll definitely be applying at.
The 3rd closest studio according to Yell is Busty Kelp (http://www.bustykelp.com/), as is usually the way with animation studios I'd never actually heard of the company before but I had seen several of their commercials on TV. Busty Kelp is primarily a 3D company, so again, I'll have to beef up my 3D skills before I consider applying here... They're currently working on a youtube project, which is impressive: http://www.youtube.com/user/GregMutt
More studio research to come!
