Animation

 
Animation is so much more than cartoons. In fact, if you develop your love for multimedia and all things creative through an animation program, you'll learn that animation careers vary from video game animation to digital editing to special effects in film. Computers have become perhaps the most vital aspect of the animation industry, second only to personal talent and imagination. That's why if you're seeking animation programs at art schools or as a major in college, be sure to choose one that emphasis technical knowledge. Animation, like most design fields, is one in which your portfolio of work will speak for you. In other words, it's important that you become involved in opportunities to create and showcase your work -- whether it's during an internship program, via class projects, or involvement in industry events. Animation careers are on the rise, thanks to the ever-growing use of computer animation on film, TV, the Internet, and more. In fact, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, animation is among the other technologically savvy areas of the motion picture industry that are expected to have the biggest employment growth through 2014. Add to that the personal satisfaction of seeing your animation work shine in a completed project, and there's no doubt that animation aspirations are worth perfecting.
