Career intentions

In the future i would like to have a job as a designer, such as character designer, props design. I also want to be an animator at the same time.

I think that character design is important for the whole animation, each character will have there own personality by looking at there shapers, colors or props will know what type of the character is it. It need to have a strong Characteristic. make the character stand out, listen to second opinion. I find animating in 2D and 3D are interesting, i would to animate my own character. There is a lot of skills i need to learn.

I find myself can draw better on paper, its much faster to draw on paper. I need to develope skills in photo shop, such as painting, texturing and special effects. Flash, after effects can be useful. Digital skills will be useful when you know how they works. I also need to learn making modules in maya and Z brush. 3D animation will be the future in most companies. But still need skills in 2D, such as kids cartoons and anime.

My target audience will be animation studios and advertisement, in my show reel will have 2D and 3D work, such as walk cycle of my own character.

Designing the characters and props is in the front of the production pipeline, by knowing the story the designer need to research, sketch out the characters and let the director choose the one most suitable for the story, if its 3D then need to be rigging, after the designer have the final idea, then it need to be textured, and have the lighting and color corrected. Then the deringers is done, just need the animator to finish. 3D need to be render, then will do the final editing. The designer’s job is mainly pre production and production. Editing will be the post production.
