Animation Director | What I do & how much I make | Part 1 | Khan Academy

[@shareyourcareer]

Animation really is a big industry with many jobs the average person would not know about. We recently interviewed a storyboard artist and it was neat to see the pre-animation side of things.

"Animation is a lot bigger industry with so many nichés" even the niches have niches that cross into other niches. So it's great she started explaining what she does from the base ideation, research, development, delegations, and production. Great interview that she talks about personal strengths and preferences to keep it interesting and fun.

I want to make my own animations and create my own stories . I want my imaginations to come to life.. is this what I need to become... Im 15 and at the phase where i really need to know what im doing with my life .. but im alone and lost here

[@noonebossesthegarnet2890]

Hey man, I’m 15 and kind of in the same boat as you. I know what I want to share with the world, I just don’t know where to start and what to so with my story. However, I have high hopes that you and I will both figure it out. Hold your head up high. :)

Hey, I just turned 16 and I’m feeling the same of how you’re feeling of wanting to make your own stories. I also don’t know how I’m going to do this.

[@milud9046]

Hey I'm 16,and I feel the same, I always wanted to animate but I'm afraid of not finding a job, I just want people to feel the same way I feel when I draw or watch an animation.

It's not just about what school or focus she's worked with, or how many years of experience. It's all the unseen sacrifices it takes to get to this level in an industry that, as mentioned, works at sometimes breakneck speed with little room for error and often demands overtime or crunch time. Know yourself, know if this is something you can do or not, before landing yourself in a job that becomes a life you suddenly do not want. Think about what that life might be like when you have a family. Everyone is different, and some people thrive in these environments. Others struggle with daily issues inherent to their natures. You can meet very creative and inspiring people in animation and hone your craft. In itself, though, it's a niche job

[@Sibernethy]

Where can I talk to people who understand the business behind animation? I have a cast of characters and my gift is storytelling. I love cartoons and I want to start producing animated content online. Where I'm weak is all the stuff behind the scenes and I know I'm not going to do it all by myself.

[@RMAnimations]

You can talk to me on Instagram @rmanimations, or just reply to me here and we can figure something out. I'm an animator, I've always wanted to make small story time videos or have a story for my animations but I don't have that gift.

[@angelbrown6938]

Right here on KZbin. Many animators are doing tutorials, having courses through Skillshare, etc. Figure out what animation style you want to learn first (2d, 3d,etc.) Then, find the program that can get you started to do so. (Try to find one decently priced). Practice practice practice. Then once you feel that you've mastered it or you are content, move on.

@@paperchasindude6578 directors make a lot of money, but they are on the higher end of the scale because that job title requires years of experience. To actually get your foot into animation, you'd have to probably work for free or for very low pay until you become an animator and then you can move up some tiers and become director (and sometimes you'll have to be a direct and an animator or other jobs depending on your team)
