On 7th July Escape Studios hosted a webinar on finding work in the animation industry. The industry is booming right now, with the job market busier than it has been since the 1990s, when "Lion King" caused an explosion in demand for animators. However, the industry is still competitive, and only those with the right skills will find work. Watch this one hour webinar to find out the ten key steps to land that crucial first job.
The animation business is hiring and, since Brexit has reduced the flow of European talent, UK animators are more in demand than ever.
But standards are high, and you still need to put your best foot forward to find work in the industry.
One Hour Webinar
In this free one hour webinar, I will cover the ten steps every animation graduate needs to take to get hired. Follow these ten steps, and you'll have your own foot in the door.
Finding Work in the Industry
The How do animation graduates find work in the animation industry? At Escape Studios we work hard to ensure that our graduates are well prepared to find work in their chosen field.
Jobs in the entertainment industry have always been highly competitive, but the animation industry is expanding rapidly and demand for talent has never been greater.
Official jobs postings, word of mouth, rumours in the pub, personal contacts, even cold-calling - all of these can be effective ways to find work in the business. In the webinar we set out the ten key steps that we believe are vital for success.
