35 Types of Jobs in Animation ✨

Some super basic, introductory level explanations to the jobs that exist in the animation industry! I apologize in advance if I got any of them wrong, but keep in mind a lot of these roles differ in responsibilities depending on the project you're on. This is just for anyone who doesn't really know what they wanna do yet, and can see the scope of different things they can do while still working on an animated project! Or if you're just interested, that's cool too.

Studios in California: Yeah your job is to paint the fur of the main character's concept.
Studios in my country: Yeah on Monday you do character design, wednesay is for backgrounds and then you start animating and modelling until Sunda. Also, do you make good coffee?

I'm glad you included information on the 3D side of things. It seems like Youtube pushes the aesthetics of 2D, so a lot of young artists don't realize how many jobs there are in 3D.

Animation industry is incredibly specialized, and the best tip of advice is to find where your personality matches in the pipeline and how your brain processes decisions, and target roles around there.

Thank you so much for this video, I feel like a lot of young artists who are looking for jobs in the industry feel stuck trying to seek out very specific roles. It goes to show how many possibilities there really are!

This video came out at such a great time! My animation friends and I have to start choosing our majors for next year so this really helps us give an idea what positions will come out of them. Thanks Michelle❣

THIS HELPED ME SOOO MUCH!! THank YOU!
In highschool my teach didnt know a lot about it as she had other classes but taught us many things we needed to know, basic wise.
For years I knew there were many roles and labels in the industry I didnt know.
its not simple as it sounds to say " I wanna be an animator, working in the film industry", whi, e I knew none of the actual titles of roles to look up..
Knowing stuff like this allows someone to actually know where their goals are and give a clue on how they can lookup to get there.

Thank you so much for this! So very helpful! 💖

[fuzzydragons]

duh, for some reason i never thought graphic design would be an animation job, but it does make sense when it comes to titles and credits. def come in handy to create marketing

[Cel-ftfb]

This video was years ago, but here I am. Stories are what I'm best at, not drawing or voice acting or anything. But it's been my dream to make my own cartoon or animated series and I already have many ideas. I hope to make it all happen in the future

[yourhorseyepona]

Thx, I wish there was someone like you back when I was in high school, trying to figure out what career to go on. Long story short, I tried to choose between several different art careers, including animation. This video would have been nice to have.

[youyouphan]

good lord you're a blessing on earth. currently debating whether or not I want to pursue animation, and so all this detailed info is a godsend

[megsnets]

Background painter or lighting artist sounds like something I would like because I love working with color!

[obara]

Thank you for making this! I want to make sure that I have the skills that can cross over to most of these so that I do not get stuck in a one track mind and disappoint myself when I graduate (2.5 years to go) and don't end up doing something I might have hyperfixated on.

Been a subscriber for years, thank you so much.
