I recently got a copy of the new edition of The Art of 3D Computer Animation and Effects. There’s a nice little summary of “ten career tips for computer animators and digital artists,” and here they are:

  1. Be prepared for change
  2. Focus on a realistic goal
  3. Know your digital craft
  4. Update and customize your reel and portfolio
  5. Be prepared to work as a member of a team
  6. Develop an appreciation for preproduction
  7. Focus on issues that may impact your health
  8. Learn about the history of digital creation
  9. Learn about the business aspects of your career
  10. Continue to develop your artistic vision

  1. Good tips, most of them to be fair would be important things for ANY type of career, not just artists.

    But “Continue to develop your artistic vision”… now that’s the key for me!

    Thanks for sharing.
