Week 8 - Job Advertisement

For this weeks mock job interview task I've been looking through some job advertisements related to an animator position at either a film/television studio or video games company. I've been looking at a few animation/3D related job websites. Websites that I looked at were http://www.animationbase.com/ and http://www.animatedjobs.com/ through their Twitter page https://twitter.com/animationjobs. In total I've found around 10 animator positions at various companies and at various locations that I found interesting and I wanted to apply for.

One job advertisement I found was at the Walt Disney animation company in Burbank. I found this on the Animation Jobs Twitter page (https://twitter.com/animationjobs). One of the main requirements for the job is to have 2 years production experience, but for this class task that doesn't really matter. They list that the preferred software is Maya or any other related software is welcome. Also key requirements needed is a great understanding in visual storytelling, believable emotions, character weight, physics, staging and timing. Here's the link to the job advertisement: http://www.animatedjobs.com/animationjobs/animator-walk-disney-animation-studios-burbank-ca/.

This would probably be the job advertisement that I'll use for this weeks task as it's a great example of a dream animation job at one of the biggest animation companies on the planet.
