I was contemplating whether to apply to Medusa after browsing their website to find the animation section of their portfolio quite sparse and I felt the main focus of the studio was live action film. But I decided to apply speculatively to broaden my applications.
ABOUT US
WE ARE A FRESH TEAM OF CREATIVE INDIVIDUALS WITH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN CREATING FILM, VIDEO & ANIMATION.
Their main task is to create amazing film whilst maintaining strong and transparent relationships with their clients. They didn't really elaborate on the specific work they prefer to specialize in:
OUR MISSION
We’re extremely passionate to only deliver the best, pushing ourselves past every expectation to ensure we do just that, on budget, and on time. We develop effective products that excel projects and brands into the spotlight, always exceeding the brief. We believe that client satisfaction is paramount to every service we provide.
Which you can see is quite focused on how they are going to approach any project given to them. But this wasn't necessarily a bad thing, as a good working ethos is always good to maintain when working with clients for an efficient but appropriate submission of work which is something I strive to achieve.
So I decided to contact them, instead of filling in the contact form, I got the email and sent the following message:

Hello Medusa!
I was
browsing your website and looking at the amazing work you have on
there. I to have the drive and passion to create innovative animations which is
what drew me to your studio as well as the range of work you have
created. I have attached my cover letter and CV for you to take a look
at. I don't have a huge amount of experience in the animation industry
but have just completed my three year university course studying
BA(Hons)Animation at Leeds College of Art, and what I lack in experience
I make up for in pure desire and passion in creating and working in a
team to produce superb animations.
As well as considering
myself a 3D generalist, I am also pursuing a role as a runner if there
are any opportunities available then I would love to involve my team
playing and relaxed but determined attitude to the studio.
Here is a link to my showreel for you to take a look at:
I look forward to hearing from you
Yours sincerely
As well as a personalized message I attached my cover letter and CV for them to look through, I tend to put my cover letter first in the attachment list due to being more proud of that than my CV which doesn't have much content due to just finishing university.
Here is the paragraph I edited to become more appropriate to the studio:
I was drawn to Medusa due to
its wide range of visual styles, but ultimately the whole ideology of creating innovative
film projects to emphasise the bespoke nature of the studio. I consider myself
as a 3D generalist with a passion to include my knowledge and skills into the
already fantastic studio of Medusa to introduce my own artistic flare.
