 this was my final project of Animation 2 last year but it ended up more like an animatic and i'm hoping to re-do it at some point

anyone in the Ottawa, Canada area or in the northeast of the US should check out the Ottawa International Animation Festival in October

Hahaha oh boy...


good luck finding jobs as a 2d animator. I will tell you what you have to look forward to, lovely flash tv animations with low pay and wrist breaking weekly animation quotas. A lot of unpaid overtime.

I am a feature film animator currently but I have worked in games and tv as well. the market right now is over saturated. For every animation position there are like 1000 animators. I feel lucky i got into the industry when I did because it is very very hard to do it right now.

If any of you are thinking about going animation make sure you have a secondary skill that will help you along the way. I recommend rigging if you are going 3d and marrying a very rich widow if you are going 2d :v:

another plus is going to local festivals and meeting directors and producers. meeting with them and giving them your business card or whatever actually helped a lot of people i know get hired onto movie and tv show projects rather than applying for positions formally

seriously though, if you want to get a job pretty easily, look to Teletoon. but if you want a job where you can actually make quality stuff, avoid Teletoon.

 I did a lil' looping gif to promote my comic, but I'm really dreadful with the program flash because I don't really know how to utilize it properly and take advantage of all its tools. Anyways, I came up with this in the end:
