Animation Artistry

1/8/2009 10:26 AM By

Large animation studios sometimes hire production artists to help crank out jobs in a hurry. This can be a useful way to break into the industry.

A common career path involves starting as an "in-betweener," creating transitional drawings between key moments in a scene. A major skill for this job is being able to imitate a senior animator's style and line quality.

Another junior-level job in animation studios is layout artist. This person roughs out backgrounds for each scene, which are not used in the final product but which are vital to proper positioning and perspective in the animation itself.
