Animation Design
An animation path across 2D/3D storytelling, motion design, and production pipelines.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Animation students over-index on software and under-index on acting/timing. Studios hire shot performance and pipeline hygiene. Show a short with breakdowns. Team credits must clarify your role. Demo reels with unclear ownership get discarded. Studio and campus screens still reward ownership stories over tool-logo lists. Bring one artifact — case study, prototype, lookbook page, or critique notes — you can defend in depth.
