Since getting feedback on my CV I have crafted a final version where I have edited crucial elements to make it more professional and appropriate to my practice, such as removing things such as stop motion modelling being a hobby and completely removing my job at the pub which doesn't relate to where I will be using my CV. Here is the Final version

Personal
Profile: __________________________________________________________________
I am a very passionate animator and
set designer in the pursuit of a career in the animation industry. With a will
to be involved in various animation companies, whether it is games animation or
for feature films, to let my skills and abilities of working in a team increase
even further with a positive but efficient work ethic. I have experience from
creating virtual replicas of art galleries to animating in 3D and stop motion
animation, but also experience creating sets for various stop motion animations
with a drive of perfection that gives my work its sometimes quite unique style.
My ultimate goal would be to direct animations or to become a cinematic games
animator to bring my adoration for telling stories and portraying emotions to
fruition.
Qualifications:_____________________________________________________________________
Leeds College of Art, BA(Hons) Animation (2013-Present)
Through
my time at university I have acquired many skills in different software and techniques
that include:
Autodesk
Maya, both animating and modelling with a good understanding of the rigging,
texturing, and rendering processes. Photoshop, After Effects, Dragon Frame, Miniature
and stop motion set modelling and Photography
Solihull Sixth Form College, BTEC National Diploma in Art
and Design (Fine Art) (2010-2012)
Through
my time at college I learnt the crucial first steps on the road to being an
artist where I learnt photography skills all the way to life drawing sessions.
I Acquired a DDM (Distinction, Distinction, Merit).
Experience:__________________________________________________________________
Datomec Design LTD: (2015-Ongoing)
I was
responsible for replying to set briefs by art distributor Datomec Design, these
briefs included: Replicating an art gallery in the town of Solihull in the
virtual world using Autodesk Maya where I produced photo-realistic renders of
the area including the paintings that were on exhibition there.
Also
I created a 3D rendition of jigsaw puzzles that the company has on sale to
bring more flexibility to the advertisement of the products. Texturing the
puzzles with upmost accuracy to make it as photo-realistic as possible.
Also
I localized an animation where the script involved a French character which had
to be animated facially
Rumplestiltskin (2016 - Collaborative project)
I
have chosen to include this in my experience to emphasise my ability of keeping
to requirements and deadlines. I was approached to create the sets for a stop
motion animation about Rumplestiltskin, the sets had to be quite large but with
my knowledge in materials through my years of testing I knew which materials
would be more appropriate and efficient to create these larger sets. I was required
to stick to a specific visual direction along with a practical direction, for
example, the maquettes used were fairly large which required me to be
responsible for scaling the sets to accommodate them. I think this is a great
example of my ability to work to a strict briefing and my readiness to
communicate with a team as much as possible for the benefit of any project I am
involved in.
Hobbies
and Interests:________________________________________________________
I
enjoy driving and hold a full UK driving license with no points but do not own
a car at present.
I
collect a large amount of materials which enable me to create my bespoke sets.
My signature material is the humble lollipop stick which is cut and sanded to
create some very different results.
I am
very fond of films and my favourites include: Inception, The Lord of The Rings
and anything zombie related.
As
well as film I enjoy immersing myself in games with good story lines such as
the Bioshock series and Alan Wake.
I
also enjoy growing vegetables. I like the accomplished feeling of having
something large and flourishing that has grown from a seed that I planted.

I replaced the pub work with some collaborative work I did over the year to describe my collaboratory skills and responsibilities. I am not that happy with my CV purely because of the lack of experience, but this will chance as my career develops.
