Animaion carrier

I want to be an animator because I enjoy animating. The most frequent job requirements for Flash animation are to have solid experience in Flash animation and Actionscript. I basically have that already so I’m set, I just need to learn a bit more in Actionscript such as the ‘do while’ command, changing the stage size, and drawing vectors programmatically. Flash animation isn’t the only career there is in animation. There’s also 3D character animation, environmental effects, and special effects (just to name a few). Video gaming seams to be pretty popular, and it makes sense because the production values of video games now a days are going through the roof, because of that; game developers such as Naughty Dog and Insomniac are really trying their best to make their work place seem more attractive than ever. Their requirements for the job include experience with Maya (3D modeler/animation tool) and a BA degree in post-secondary education. Animators work as a team so communication is very important. Generally, animators will earn $45,000 to $80,000 a year.
