Animator

An animator creates movement and performance — characters, effects, and graphics — for film, television, games, and digital media, working frame by frame or with digital rigs in 2D or 3D. The craft is built on timing, weight, and expression, turning drawings or models into believable, engaging motion within a larger production pipeline.

Animators work in studios or freelance, alongside modellers, riggers, and other artists. The role suits creative, patient, observant people who love the craft of motion, can work within production pipelines and under deadline, and combine artistic sensibility with the technical command of the tools that bring characters and worlds to life.
