  • Some super basic, introductory level explanations to the jobs that exist in the animation industry! I apologize in advance if I got any of them wrong, but keep in mind a lot of these roles differ in responsibilities depending on the project you're on. This is just for anyone who doesn't really know what they wanna do yet, and can see the scope of different things they can do while still working on an animated project! Or if you're just interested, that's cool too.

    Studios in California: Yeah your job is to paint the fur of the main character's concept.
    Studios in my country: Yeah on Monday you do character design, wednesay is for backgrounds and then you start animating and modelling until Sunda. Also, do you make good coffee?

    In highschool my teach didnt know a lot about it as she had other classes but taught us many things we needed to know, basic wise.
    For years I knew there were sooooo many roles and labels in the industry I didnt know.
    its not simple as it sounds to say " I wanna be an animator, working in the film industry", whi,e I knew none of the actual titles of roles to look up..
    Knowing stuff like this allows someone to actually know where their goals are and give a clue on how they can lookup to get there.

    Thank you for posting this video! I found it fascinating to learn about all the different roles. After hearing you explain all the various positions and departments within animation, it was also easier to imagine the workflow and process. Something you mentioned stuck out to me; are most of the jobs you listed project-based? I love the idea of working on a project until it concludes, but I would like to work on another one without having to look for employment again. Are these contract-based jobs? TIA!

    It’s strange cause I thought the storyboard revisionist would be more important than the storyboard artist since they have to fix any mistakes. I would’ve thought that they would give that role to someone higher up.
