Animation
Animators make things come to life. Animators can specialize in motion, feature films, materials, and more. Motion control animators are responsible for animating physical models or computer generated images with respect to how an object moves. Feature film animators develop either 2-D or 3-D animations for the motion picture industry like the animations seen in Toy Story 2. Materials specialists build object surfaces, textures, terrains, and fractals for 3-D models. These animators are responsible for creating a dinosaur's skin like in Jurassic Park, or creating the perfect prehistoric setting in The Flintstones.
Animator is just one of the many careers that computer animation degree students prepare for at the International Academy of Design & Technology, Tampa. Here are a few more exciting careers to consider special effects artist, game design animation assistant, shader, motion capture animator, modeler, and bench animator.
