      Create a portfolio, move to LA, start doing the rounds. You're in for a disappointment though- notice 2 things from this video- all the examples are from nearly 20 years back, and all the current examples are "used by the computer animators for reference". The jobs just aren't there anymore. Not like they used to be.

    Honestly animatronics still make such cool props and can really bring monsters and characters to life. It's a shame we don't use them as much anymore, I think they'd work really well when they enhanced with the amazing CGI we have.

    The animatronic looks so much cooler and it takes a really good director to know how to use them spectacularly. The cgi doesn’t create tension and scariness. Looks more like a video game to me.

    Animatronics combined with computer graphic can create realistic effect rather than using one alone, case in point: Jurassic Park and Terminator 2. The tech used in animatronics is compatible with prosthetic design, just need a brain-to-device chip now.
