Some Top Reasons (Blog # 36)

Start From the Top

. While creating a demo reel, you mostly put examples of your animated work to show and give to people so you could get a job. Simple enough, although, many say that, you should put creature animation in their as well. Now, why is that?

The main reason is to show that, you WANT a job. You are willing to do more than your norm. Getting an animation job isn't easy and by being diverse. You show that you're able to spread out and do more and it looks better for you. Many companies look for variety in animation. One job you might animate people and in another, you might animate fire effects and etc. Show what you can do but also show what the studio might want.

Simply, there isn't just one type of animator, you're not a creature animator or a feature animator, together we are all animators.

Now At The Bottom

. This is really helpful for my personal future and I'll keep this in mind, thing is though. I don't even draw animals which bothers me. I gotta practice I guess but even so, understand that were just a simple animator and not a separate non-exsistant creature animator is quite cool because i might have the opportunity to animate different things.
