// The Underrated Path for Animators 10 out of 10 times, if you ask any student animator where they'd like to work, you'll probably never hear them say the words 'mobile game studios'. - hehe it's a pretty hard sell for schools!! ....I mean you pay ten's of thousands of dollars to learn animation and the last thing you want to hear them say is 'we'll teach you everything you need to know to get you ready for mobile games' can you imagine if that was their sales pitch? of course NOT! - because it's way easier for them to charge you big moolah 💰 to get you ready for AAA Games / Films would you pay 30k to get ready for mobile games? or would you pay 30k to get you ready for AAA Games / Films? ... you know the answer! ----- // coffee break ☕️ about this clip // they call him the Green Death - he's a hugeeee dragon hiding in the mountains somewhere - when you unlock him in-game, this is the reveal anim you'll see. ----- looking back I can say without a doubt that, for most aspiring animators looking to break into the industry, mobile games are a wonderful place to start. I'd even go further to say that even intermediate/pro animators will really enjoy the experience that mobile game studios have to offer. for aspiring animators especially, starting in mobile games will give you the opportunity to grow at a pace that I believe is more suitable than AAA games, TV or Films. don't get me wrong, some animators ARE ready for AAA Games & Films, but a lot aren't! - no teachers will tell their students this because that would ruin the school's reputation. ... you'll end up learning this truth when you start applying to a whole bunch of studios... yet you can't seem to land a single job! animation for mobile games is way more flexible than most other platforms. A tiny screen means animation doesn't have to be perfect, just good enough. when you clock in enough "good enough" animations, you'll be amazed to see the progress you'll make in your animation journey! ;) if you're struggling with landing a gig in animation, give mobile games a try, what do you have to lose?
