Equally, in contrast with the previous blog, I’d also enjoy the challenge of working for a larger studio. However, despite completing this course, I’m still not entirely sure that my technical drawing skills will ever be good enough to work at the higher end of 2D animation, but I’d be happy to fail by trying. I’d love to try and work for a London studio like Lupus, and I met with a few of the animators there this year. I understand they have a testing process for new animators, so I’d love to give it a go to see if I can make the entry grade.
An experience like this would stand me in good stead for future work, even if working with a few others in a smaller studio setting, as a big production would expose me further to the mechanics of a producing a larger piece of work, and the various technical departments involved. I’d like to try to start at the clean up/colouring inbetweening role, but after completing my final project, I’ve realised that I really enjoy the challenge of animating a character and that would be ultimately what I would ideally do if I could find employment in this sector.
