4 Sony Animators on School & Getting Hired

Today Animation Mentor Alumni & Sony Pictures Animation Artists share what their most important lessons from school and their jobs are, and how you can get started in animation!

It's been a few months since we recorded this, and some of these animators are now over at Pixar, showing that their comments on people jumping to different studios is super common- so play nice and work hard!

In three years, I went from having absolutely no experience in 3D Animation to working at DreamWorks Animation Studios teaching just about all of the 3D software used to make movies! After 2 years there, I left to try freelance / independent content creation on YouTube for awhile, before I head back to Feature Film!

This is my journey- the entire process from when I decided I wanted to be an animator until I eventually get there, and everything along the way that will make it possible.

Whether you're chasing a similar dream, or just interested to see where mine takes me, subscribe to follow along with the incredible journey that it takes to become an animator!

You will not be disappointed.
Keep up with the action and connect with me on social!
