Animator

Animators create moving images using hand-drawn, computer-generated, or stop-motion techniques. Their work can be found in films, television programmes, video games, advertising, and online media. A typical day might involve designing characters, creating storyboards, and using specialist software to bring stories to life. Animators often work as part of a team, collaborating with directors, writers, and other artists to achieve the desired visual effects. Creativity, attention to detail, and technical skills in animation software are essential for this role. Most animators in the UK work in studios, but some are freelancers or work remotely.
