Recently, I have been putting a lot of thought into becoming an animator, especially after watching Disney's latest short Paperman. I've always been a huge fan of movies (and art), so I think it would be so much fun to help create them. However, there are many drawbacks to becoming an animator. First (though one of the minor reasons), it would require taking many, many physics classes in college. I know that those classes will drive me crazy. Second, animators fresh out of college will have a very hard time finding jobs and an even more difficult time finding a job with decent pay. Furthermore, it's not easy to become a successful animator. You must be extremely creative, willing to work with other people, passionate, and, obviously, artistic. (I also believe it takes a bit of luck.) Despite all this, I still believe becoming an animator will be worth it. Maybe one day I can work at Pixar Studios or Dreamworks Animation!

You know you can get these internships at Pixar and stuff in college if you know someone who works there and eventually start working there? I think you can do it! But all those physics classes...maybe if you just focus all your energy in becoming an animator you'll find the motivation haha.
ReplyDeleteYou would be such a great animator Irena, maybe those physics classes will be less nerve wracking if you have a better teacher...Anyways, I don't know where you are considering going to college, but I do know that Disney has a lot of great internship opportunities, so if you went somewhere in SoCal that would be one really great resource. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should go for being an animator, since it's clearly something you're passionate about! Don't be afraid to pursue something you're interested in, and have more confidence in yourself!
