“As a 2D animator, I had felt a bit left behind so I wanted to familiarise myself with 3D. If I think back to 10 weeks ago and what I am capable of now — it’s astounding.”
The Challenge
Staying Competitive in a Changing Creative Industry
Matt is a 2D animator who recognised the shift towards 3D within the creative sector. To stay competitive and continue growing professionally, he needed to expand his technical skillset and build confidence working with new tools.
Alongside developing new skills, he was also looking to regain momentum in his business and take clear steps forward in his career.
Building Technical Skills and Business Confidence
Through the Skills Bootcamp – Intro to Blender, delivered by Mastered Studios, Matt accessed a blend of hands-on technical training and practical business support.
The programme helped him quickly develop his 3D modelling skills using Blender, while also providing structure and direction to re-engage with his business. Alongside this, dedicated business sessions gave him practical tools to strengthen how he manages and grows his work.
New Skills, Renewed Confidence, and Future Opportunity
The results have helped Matt move forward with greater confidence and capability:
- Expanded Technical Skillset: Stronger 3D modelling skills, opening up new creative opportunities.
- Increased Confidence: Significant progress in a short period, building confidence in using new tools.
- Re-energised Career Direction: Renewed focus and momentum to continue developing his business.
- Practical Business Skills: Improved approach to managing and growing creative work.
Now equipped with both technical capability and business confidence, Matt is well positioned to adapt to industry changes and continue growing his creative career.
Other Case Studies
“It’s been fun, it’s been a good learning curve. Everyone is really nice here, the teachers are really good — Debbie is brilliant, she’s helped me out loads. I really like tiling. I would really like to work for the local council afterwards and repair houses, and I would like to be a multi trader.”
Skills Bootcamps
“The staff have been great honestly, and fun to work with. They’ve been really good at guiding, especially Dave or Lee. I really, really enjoyed the joinery part of carpentry too. That was really fun.”
Skills Bootcamps
“The whole course has been fascinating. Blender is an amazing piece of software with so many applications, from filmmaking to interior design. I now have a much better understanding of how to present myself and how to communicate what I do.”
