Who’s Hiring?

http://www.indeed.co.uk/cmp/Skoolmaths/jobs/Children-Cartoon-Animator-1fb1d3201df21f42

this would be an appropriate job for me as it is an internship, requiring no experience and teaching me about the industry. I would be paid little to no wages, however it would be important, getting my foot in the door and allowing me to get much needed experience, in an over-saturated industry.

although this job requires experience it would be appropriate for me because it involves design in many areas (including character design, an area I particularly like) which means I am not limited to one type of creation. It involves character and background design, as well as 2D animation.

I was interested in this job, mostly because while I was reading the description for the job, I actually got inspired and started thinking of ideas, and how I would tackle the task. It would be cool to have an etching-style drawing, with rough, loose lines and animation to reflect the origin of storytelling, slowly becoming more precise and alike to nowadays cleaned up artwork reflecting the refined process storytelling has become today.

either way, it was interesting to look at the different styles of job, and enlightening to realise what kind of role I would feel more confident in filling. As it stands right now, I feel much more comfortable with 2D character animation and design than I do with 3D modelling and environment design - mostly due to a lack of practice; I think if I improved my skills in these areas I would be more than happy to accept those job roles.

Task 3

As I said in task 1 I feel that the best field for me would be a 2D animator. In this task I will investigate which companies are hiring for this particular field. I will attach the links to the site that I use when appropriate.

This site has a collection of multiple companies hiring for many different fields in several countries and cities. They are listed in order of the dates in which they became available.

On the 01/08/2015, Hann productions in Burbank US were looking for a 2D animator. The description for the job is as follows: Seeking a few more 2D animators for our tongue-rooted-firmly-in-cheek-comedic short. Inspired style wise by Disney's "Pigs is Pigs" and "Plunk Whistle, Toot and Boom" and based on a historical account of English sailors pulling nails out of their ship to trade with the local ladies...its called Nail'd. You can check out our work in progress here : http://naildmovie.tumblr.com/ Please send work examples and/or reels to [email protected]. Looking for folks to start ASAP. Thanks! Best, Alexa Hann Producer

The requirements for the job are: This paid position is remote. Proficiency in Harmony and a reliable internet connection is required.

Do I feel I would be capable of this role:

I believe that I would be rather well suited for this role. As it does not directly mention dope sheets or walking animations.

On the 03/02/2015, Naska digital in Bogot’a CO were looking for a 2D animator. Unfortunately the description was in a different language so if one was really serious about this they may want to consider studying the language of the city/country.

Do I feel I would be capable of this role: I feel that just with the language barrier I would be incapable to complete the task(s). Language learning is something that I have never been very good at.

On the 03/18/2015, Pipeline studios international in Hamilton Toronto were looking for a 2D animator. The description is as follows: Pipeline Studios 2D Animators for Fangbone! Come Surf with the Best! Pipeline has an exciting opportunity for 2D Animators to join our production team on a high profile project in our Toronto/Hamilton studio. These exciting positions are responsible to create quality posing and animation for a high profile 2D animated television series while reporting to the Animation Director.

And the requirements are: Essential Qualifications: 2+ years experience doing animation for 2D animated series. Degree/Diploma from a recognized animation, art or film school desired.

Do I feel I would be capable of this role: I believe that once I have finished this course this sort of position would be perfect for me. However I do not feel I have the experience presently.

And the most resent job opportunity for 2D animation was on the 04/22/2015, Libelum in London. The description is as follows: Looking for a driven 2D animator to develop storyboards and their animated cutscenes for an indie game. It is definitely paid. The job may become full-time or part-time based on the animator's availability. Characters and environments have already been designed, however, this is a chance for the person applying to have creative input into a great story. Interested candidates must be available beginning mid to late May 2015 at the latest. The total animated time for cutscenes will be approximately 25 to 30 mins. Groups may apply if pricing can be negotiated. Please email [email protected] with a link to your demo reel, your questions, and availability.

The requirements are: Any 2D animation skills will be considered, especially ones concerning Toon Boom applications.

Do I feel I would be capable of this role: Storyboards have never been the part of animation I have been very good at. However I feel as the course goes on I could improve and maybe have a future for this kind of job after all.
