Dear Hiring Manager,
Greetings from JT Blake! I hope this letter finds you well. First of all, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my cover letter. I am excited to apply for the position of Feature Development Intern at Dreamworks Animation. As a huge fan of animated movies and TV shows, I am thrilled at the opportunity to be a part of such a prestigious company.
Now, let me introduce myself. I am JT Blake, a recent graduate from [University Name] with a degree in Film and Media Studies. I have always been passionate about storytelling and bringing characters to life through animation. It is my dream to work in the animation industry and I believe that Dreamworks Animation is the perfect place for me to start my journey.
What caught my attention to this particular position at Dreamworks Animation is the fact that it involves both creative and technical aspects. As a self-proclaimed "tech-savvy artist", I have strong skills in Google Suite, Trello, Adobe Photoshop, and Storyboard Pro. Trust me, I can whip up a mean digital drawing in Photoshop or create a well-organized project plan on Trello. And don't even get me started on my love for Google Suite. I practically live in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. So, you can be assured that I will be able to handle any task that requires me to use these tools.
Moreover, my passion for storytelling is not limited to just writing scripts. I have also had the opportunity to work on a few independent projects where I have tried my hand at storyboarding and creating animatics. I have a good eye for detail and can visualize a scene in my head before putting it on paper. I believe that this skill will come in handy in the role of a Feature Development Intern, where I will be responsible for assisting in the development of new animated projects.
As an intern, I am eager to learn and take on new challenges. I am a quick learner and have a strong work ethic. I am not afraid to ask questions and seek guidance when needed. I am also a team player and believe in the power of collaboration. I am excited to work with a team of talented individuals at Dreamworks Animation and learn from their experiences.
If I were to be completely honest, I am also excited about the location of the company. Glendale, CA has always been on my list of dream places to live and work. I have heard so much about the vibrant culture and the amazing food scene. I would be ecstatic if I am given the opportunity to work in such a lively city.
Lastly, I would like to thank you once again for considering my application. I am eagerly waiting for the opportunity to prove myself and contribute to the success of Dreamworks Animation. I am confident that my skills, passion, and enthusiasm make me a strong candidate for this position.
I have attached my resume and portfolio for your review. I would be happy to provide further information or samples of my work if needed. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
JT Blake
