Dear Animation Industry... Let's talk about that entry-level job post you just made. You know, the one that read like a wishlist to Santa: 𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑹𝒀 𝑳𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑳 𝑨𝑵𝑰𝑴𝑨𝑻𝑶𝑹 𝑾𝑨𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑫!* *𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘸𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦. Requirements: 👉 5 years experience (time spent breathing doesn't count). 👉 Mastery of every software ever created (including ones that don't exist yet). 👉 Portfolio that rivals Disney's entire catalogue. 👉 Previous studio experience (your stick figure animations from kindergarten don't count). 👉 Must have animated at least 3 Oscar-winning films. 👉 Ability to time travel to gain more experience. 💰 Salary: We'll pay you in "exposure" and high fives! The math is giving us a migraine: 👉 Need experience to get job. 👉 Need job to get experience. 👉 Need time machine to make this work. 👉 Currently accepting donations for time machine. And don't get us started on those internships: "Great exposure!" (To what, sleep deprivation?) "Valuable experience!" (In living on instant ramen.) "Foot in the door!" (Door is actually a wall.) "Learning opportunity!" (PhD in coffee runs.) Want to know how to actually build industry talent? 👉 Try hiring humans with potential. 👉 Consider teaching things (radical concept). 👉 Pay actual money (revolutionary!) 👉 Remember you were once new, too. Stop asking for 5 years experience for entry-level positions. Some of us weren't even drawing 5 years ago. We were eating crayons. Sincerely, Your Friends at Laughing Dragon Studios P.S. If anyone has a time machine, please contact HR immediately.

And I want to add something else: - If your studio are doing products for "China", for example, don't ask your animators or artist "must" speak chinese or proven chinese visa or residence, specially for a "remote" job.

Whatever is going on in the Animation Industry with this bullcrap is also happening in the VFX industry. Supervisors are now stepping down and taking entry level roles. It's bonkers out here. Recruiters are the one's responsible for this... and it's almost like the person doing the recruiting these days has never actually done the work of the position they are recruiting for. Sure, you get qualified candidates but you're also getting OVER-qualified candidates. Fills the need in the short term but your long term losses from turnover are going to be staggering.

If you're looking for work, don't give up. (resources and tips, part 1 of many) We know how terrible the job market is right now in animation. I'm sharing tips I can provide from my own experiences and what I've heard from others. 💡 Tip: Reach out to studios personally, not just through a jobs application. I got my first animation job by asking a teacher (whom I built a relationship with during school) if the studio she worked for had any internships since I didn't see anything on their website. She said, "I have no idea, let me ask!". A few conversations later, I became the studio's first intern and was hired full-time immediately after graduation. Small studios in particular don't have full HR teams, and may not have a careers page. This doesn't mean they aren't thinking about how to provide opportunities. Our team at Open Pixel Studios is just 2, and over the years we've had 6 interns and have worked with over 50 freelancers on various projects. We do not have a careers page and likely won't for some time. Our internships were through building partnerships with universities in our local region, as we value opportunities for students outside of major animation hubs. You never know how else a studio can utilize what you offer. Talk to them about their needs and learn what they do. Build the relationship over time. I know it's easier said than done. I know it's exhausting, but don't give up, even if it takes time. #JobHunting #Animation

Savour what's slow for a minute!! I want you all to just take a pause and slow down at this set of frames moving infront of your eyes , what do you see ?? NOTHING!! BUT SOMETHING! That's silent imagery. The following frames don't imply anything explicit but they take us into that train , wanting us to be a part of that motion which is still, yet moving isn't it?. Hayao miyazaki , most of you know him as the mind behind Studio ghibli and this man speaks many things beyond dialogues. He believes that the most rudderless, pointless silences are worth capturing in our lives and most of his films do so. I emphasise strongly on watching what he's crafted because amidst the technological sprawling that we're stuck in , we do deserve some silence , some sweet sweet silence. Motion graphics and animation Is much beyond for kids and anyone who is reading me can be someone who has that story which can be made into films and pieces. Communicating your story with a mass with the right medium is efficient to deliver an impactful story. If you're someone out there with that knack for animation or motion graphics , I suggest you take a deep dive into the field with lotto content on the Internet. Have your story , scale it out into a full fledged one and then try crafting that written curves into characters with tools like Adobe after effects. Well you might have the ample sources out there but still, you need a path and necessary guidance along your journey and amongst all those million choices Lernx is also one. We can show you the right tools, right people and right minds to flesh out your story of the decade with our easy to go Motion graphic content. #animation #graphic design #motion graphics #design #internship #stuioghibli #storytelling https://lernx.io/ Chethana Reddy Lernx LernX Internship

After 6 hours of car ride and had the time to hangout with my parents before they went to bed, I'm now taking the opportunity to continue doing application work. Video shows my office buddy for the coming nights 😍 she will keep me motivated and provide moral support, while I will give her loads of scritch and scratch. Let me remind you that I'm still open for work and internship (through a programme with Arbetsförmedlingen) as a Game Designer. I've worked with System and Gameplay the most, but I don't shy away from other roles and opportunities. What I don't know or know less off, I can learn fast with the right coaching or through my own research and perserverance. What you'll get is someone who's: 🕹 An excellent and creative problem solver. UseDuctTapeIfNeeded(); 🕹 Skilled in cross-functional teamwork. It doesn't matter if you're a programmer, artist or designer. I'll find a way to speak your language. 🕹 Player-centered in design approach. I design and create with a purpose, and to the right audience. 🕹 Coachable and easy to learn. As mentioned, if I don't know how it's done, I'll figure it out. 🕹 Almost always the last one leaving after works. And I'd say I'm pleasing to be with. Both inside and outside of the office. So why skip on having one of the best co-worker? If your office has dogs that's obviously a plus. #openforwork #gamedesigner #gamingindustry
