There are a number of different career paths

for animators. We often think of animators as

the talented artists who create the cartoons we
love, either for film or movies. Animators
continue to work in these areas, but
increasingly, many are employed creating
animated graphics for a variety of projects.
This can include websites, online
advertisements and video games. Animators
can find full-time employment with movie or
television production companies, with
advertisers, web design firms, video game
companies or with animation firms. Free lance
work is another option for animators,
particularly those specializing in web
animation. Most entry-level positions will
require an animator to have a bachelors degree
in a related field such as fine arts or media.
There are a number of computer Animation
schools that offer course work specifically in
computer animation and associated
technologies. In addition, a strong portfolio of
work which a training program can help you to
develop is an essential part of landing a job in
computer animation and becoming an
animator.
