Nice!! I'm a young self-taught animator and am still unsure if I want to pursue animation as a hobby or as a career, this cleared up that mental fog a bit more. Neat video!
Only issue is, getting into the industry is a long and arduous journey. At the least it may take about two or maybe three years. It’s best to have a plane to make money before you get that break and land a job. The best first step would be looking for full, or contractual jobs for the long term before making it into a more specific ideal one like film or tv. Either way, it’s best to be aware that films, tv, and entertainment isn’t the only road to animation. There’s many opportunities, some are remote, others on-site, it all comes down to you’re determination and what your career goals are. Good luck to everyone that pursues a career in animation.
Am really happy to find this channel. First thank you so much .. I will be sure to purchase ur course its really what I need. am not an animator myself but I like directing and creating illustration and character this will help me a lot
The approach could vary a little depending on if you're looking to work at an animation studio or produce work for businesses directly. If looking to win work from businesses directly: 1. Build a good online presence. i.e. effective SEO friendly website with regular social media posts on your preferred platform. Slowly build a reputation. 2. Consider targeting a niche and present yourself as an expert animator in that field. (even if you could work for any industry sector) 3. Reach out to companies you'd like to work for. (ideally with some highly relevant examples). (a paid Linkedin account is great for this). 4. Need a boost?... Consider some paid advertising or pitching for work on freelancer websites. 5.

I'm 25 years old and I don't have any source of income and I already learn how to draw is it a good idea to start learn animation ? Btw thank you so much for your content 🙏
Hey @BeeSnail . If you're already learning (or can already) draw that's great. Plus means you can try and earn some income through illustration and graphic design. I'm a firm believer in the animation market (as seen in this video). There are more screens with animated graphics, videos and more than ever before and it's not about to go down. Whether you're 16, 25, 40 or 100 (*well maybe not 100 :-), if you enjoy the creative and technical challenges that animation brings, then I'd 100% recommend learning animation skills and carving out a way to earn income with it.

Hey Kudzanai .. really that pleased it's helpful. Massive good luck with your studio.
