The animation and gaming industry is very competitive and there is always a lot at stake when a game title or animated movie is under production. Most animation and post production studios fill up vacancies through industry grapevines, past employees and associates. Very rarely would you find employment opportunities in newspapers. Exposure to leading animation packages and enough hands on experience will further boost your chances. Most employers expect some kind of a show-reel, which is nothing but a collection of your work till date, but presented in an imaginative and innovative manner, that exhibits your creative and visual skills.
Work usually is very demanding and more often, there are no set working hours.
Compensation can be very rewarding in the form of packages plus project commissions and the chance to win media awards in specific categories. Jobs can be sought in advertising firms, animation studios, multimedia and post-production houses, TV channels and game development houses. Just a click of mouse and a flick of your finger, and you are on your way to a flying career. All rights reserved.
