Job profile: animatorOverview

Animators produce images that appear to come to life on screen.

Full Description

Their work is found in feature films, commercials, pop videos, computer games, websites and other media. They may work with drawings, specialist software or models and puppets, capturing separate images of each stage of a movement. When the images are viewed at speed the character appears to move.

Skills associated with this job

Animators usually work normal office hours, although they may work additional hours to meet

deadlines. Many animators work freelance, and part-time and temporary contracts are common.

Animators usually work in well-lit offices or studios. Working on stop frame animation may involve

standing for long periods under hot studio lights. Other types of animation demand long hours sitting

at a drawing board or computer.

Salaries may range from around £19,440 to upwards of £26,120 a year. Freelance animators may not

always be in full-time employment so their income may vary.

An animator should:

be creative and artistic have drawing skills (and sculpting skills for stop frame animation using clay) have excellent IT skills be patient and able to concentrate for long periods be interested in art and design.

Around 3,000 people work in animation in the UK and about 300 companies employ animators. The

main centres for this work are London, Bristol, Manchester and Dundee. Although there are some

permanent jobs, many animators work on a freelance basis. Competition for jobs is keen and they are

not always advertised, so networking is an important way of finding work.

Most animators have a degree or an HNC/HND. Animation courses are offered at universities and

colleges throughout the UK. Admissions tutors usually expect to see a strong portfolio of work and, if

possible, examples of animation projects. A show-reel of previous work is essential to show to potential

clients and employers.

Animators normally train on the job, working with more experienced colleagues to learn and develop

new techniques and skills. It is essential for animators to keep up to date with new developments in

the industry, and there are many relevant short courses.

As many animators are self-employed, career progression depends on their skills, versatility and ability

to promote themselves. With experience, animators may become lead animators or animation

directors. They may also move into specialist areas such as animation special effects. There may be

opportunities to work overseas or to teach animation.

What is the work like?

Animation is the art of making images that appear to come to life on screen. It features in all kinds of

media, from feature films to commercials, pop videos, computer games and websites. Animators use a

range of techniques to make images appear to move, and most specialise in one of the following:

2D drawn animation 2D computer animation stop frame or stop motion animation 3D computer generated (CG) animation.

2D drawn animation consists of a series of images which the animator draws on special paper. Each

image represents one stage of a movement, for example, of a character walking or smiling.

Traditionally the images are traced onto film and coloured. Scenery is then added by layering sheets of

film. Increasingly, however, the images are scanned into a computer and coloured using specialist

software. When viewed at speed and in sequence the images appear to move.

In 2D computer animation, the animator works with a specialist software package which is used to

create and animate characters, and add scenery and a soundtrack.

Stop frame or stop motion animation uses models, puppets or other 3D objects. The model is

photographed, then moved a fraction by the animator and photographed again. When the photographs

(or frames) are played at normal speed, the images appear to move.

3D CG animation uses specialist software to create animations. This technique is often used in feature

films and computer games.

The work can be extremely painstaking and time consuming, but animators are expected to meet

deadlines and production schedules.

Although some animators create their own characters and stories, others follow a brief from a director,

animation director or key animator. Often they work with established characters and layouts.

The starting salary for a newly-qualified animator may be from around £19,440 a year.

Hours and environment

Animators usually work normal office hours for 35 to 40 hours a week, although they may work

additional hours to meet deadlines. Many animators work freelance, and part-time and temporary

contracts are common.

Animators usually work in well-lit offices or studios. Working on stop frame animation may involve

standing for long periods under hot studio lights. Other types of animation demand long hours sitting

at a drawing board or computer. Freelance animators are likely to spend some time travelling to meet

clients and promote their work.

Skills and personal qualities

An animator should:

be creative and artistic have drawing skills (and sculpting skills for stop frame animation using clay) have excellent IT skills be patient and able to concentrate for long periods pay attention to detail be observant and understand how people move and express emotions have good communication and negotiation skills have good organisational skills be original and inventive work well as part of a team and be able to take direction from senior animators, directors and

important way of making contacts and finding work. Some vacancies may be advertised in The

Guardian and in specialist magazines such as Creative Review and Design Week.

Entry for young people

Most animators have a degree or an HNC/HND.

Many universities and colleges throughout the UK offer courses in animation and other relevant art and

design courses. Skillset, in consultation with the industry and education providers, has endorsed the

following courses:

HND in Art & Design (Computer Animation) and Degree in Animation at the Glamorgan Centre for Art & Design

Degree in Animation Production at the Arts Institute at Bournemouth Degree in Computer Visualisation and Animation at Bournemouth University Degree in Animation at the University of Wales, Newport Degree in Animation at University College for the Creative Arts at Farnham Degree in Computer Animation at the University of Teesside.

Other courses are currently being evaluated. Applicants should contact Skillset for more information.

Entry requirements vary and candidates are advised to check with individual institutions. However, in

general, in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, many people do a foundation course in art and design

before starting a degree course. Typical qualifications required are five GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3), and

sometimes an A level/H grade.

In Scotland, many degree courses last four years, with an introductory year rather than an art

foundation year.

For degree courses, applicants usually need a minimum of two A levels/three H grades and five

GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3), or equivalent qualifications.

For HND courses, typical entry requirements are one A level/two H grades in art and design subjects,

or a BTEC national certificate/diploma in a relevant subject, or equivalent.

Admissions tutors usually expect to see a strong portfolio of work and, if possible, examples of

animation projects.

There are also postgraduate degrees and diplomas for candidates with a good first degree in a

relevant subject.

Prospective employers and clients generally expect to see a show-reel of previous work as well as still

shots, and a portfolio of life drawings and movement studies.

Entry for adults

Universities and colleges may accept mature entrants if they can demonstrate a genuine interest in

the subject and a strong portfolio of work. The normal requirements may not be enforced for mature

applicants. Adults may prepare for a degree by taking an Access course.

Older entrants may succeed if they have a strong and relevant portfolio of work.

Training

Animators normally receive training on the job, working with more experienced colleagues to learn and

develop new techniques and skills.

It is essential for animators to keep up to date with new developments in the industry, particularly with

regard to software relevant to their field of animation. The Skillset website has a directory of short

courses available in the UK. Freelance animators usually fund their own training.

Getting on

As many animators are self-employed, career progression depends on their skills, versatility and ability

to promote themselves.

New animators may start as 'inbetweeners' (producing the drawings that are used in between key

poses) or junior animators. With experience, they may progress to assistant animator, animator, lead

animator and animation director. There may also be opportunities to work in specialist roles such as

animation special effects.

There may be opportunities to work overseas or, with an appropriate teaching qualification, to teach

animation.
