<\/p>\n “Hi, I’m Ben. I’m a student – I study ‘Computer Visualisation and Animation’ at Bournemouth University. Quite a mouthful! It’s a course whose graduates typically work in the visual effects\/animation industries. I decided I wanted to experience something a little different, and come to work at Ugly Studios for a couple of weeks, to see how they put their projects together and to get a handle on the way they code their interactive displays.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n While interning here, I worked on a project for a large waste management company. I was responsible for prototyping a waste-sorting game, and structuring a lifestyle quiz to assess how environmentally-friendly the user is. The work was fairly similar to some things I’ve worked on at uni, but still involved lots of things I’d never done before; the game uses a simple 2d physics engine that I coded from scratch, for example.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The studio has a great atmosphere, we share the space with a couple of other companies, so it’s always lively. Everyone here is really friendly, I think I’ve drunk more tea in the last five days that the last five years!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more information about Ben and his work, you can check out his LinkedIn page here<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfortunately, Ben is leaving us to return back to university, but we’re always on the lookout for new talent.
