About

Description

We, the animators, create a series of images to form animations that are used in commercials, movies, or games. Our job requires us to be familiar with the computer software and applications that help us to perform our tasks efficiently. We are skilled enough to create animated characters by portraying a wide range of emotions. Also, we can conceptualize ideas and quickly edit the concepts.

Core tasks:

  • communicating with other animators and graphic designers to help them out with their tasks
  • creating samples and models of the products
  • making conceptual sketches and using key animation skills to convert the idea into a final product
