Animator

Animators have solid illustration backgrounds and develop sequences made of frames, which when run together create an animation. They work for film, TV and commercial studios, as well as interactive agencies. Animation can encompass a variety of styles, from traditional and 2D to 3D and computer-generated imagery (CGI).
