Job Requirements
- Animators often work long weeks and nights.
- Working weekends might also be necessary to meet deadlines.
- When making job applications, you will need a ‘showreel’ of animated work that demonstrates your abilities to potential employers. It is vital to be proactive when seeking opportunities as vacancies are rarely advertised, so speculative applications, including direct approaches to companies by telephone, are essential. For guidance on speculative applications see our page: making speculative applications.
- Bear in mind that over half of animators in the UK are self-employed. Freelance can be the way to go but it can take time and a lot of dedication to build up a reputation and get established
