Importance of pursuing a career in animation
Becoming an animator isn't just about sketching adorable, vibrant characters that jump off the screen (though there's plenty of that, too!). It's about taking your wildest ideas and breathing life into them—whether you're crafting magical worlds or using talking animals to deliver powerful social commentary. Why settle for a regular 9-5 when you could be behind the scenes, shaping the next animated blockbuster?
Who knows? One day, you could be standing on stage with an Oscar in hand for Best Animated Feature. But first, let's master the keyframe animation technique and make those dreams come true!
What is animation?
Animation is like creating magic with images—turning still pictures into a movement to tell powerful stories. The next time a cartoon character zips across the screen, or a Pixar movie has you tearing up, remember: there's so much more behind it than just pretty pictures. At its best, the animation is pure cinematic magic!
