This week we were introduced to our course this semester, Professional Practice which covers job roles included in animation such as Director, Concept Artist, Producer and etc. For our homework we had to research and answer some questions on job sites and find a junior artist working in a role we like to do for the future.

For me there is a few options I would consider but for now I would say Animator, Character Designer/Concept Artist and Storyboard artist. I have searched job roles and here is a few I found on different websites. 

Indeed, Job Role Animator

Monster, Job Role Animator 

People who have this role:

Pollo is a senior at Laguna College of Art and Design, graduating in May 2023. She is natively Australian but was raised in Germany and is currently working in USA taking part in various art projects over the years. 

Here is her Portfolio from her website – Birgit Uhlig – Portfolio (pollovy.art)

As well as her own Animation Reel 

Looking at her art such as her sketch’s, storyboards and animation and how she was able to do such tasks inspires me that with this sort of level of animation, anything is possible with tons of planning, sketching and storyboards. But what’s most important is how any other animator can have fun with their animation when it comes to their creativity and storytelling.  It can also influence a lot of companies looking for someone of this level with animation and that’s what I want for my future.
