animator

Another friend of a friend is the governor of california, another friend is a top hollywood animator.

Rotoscoping (the animator's term for 'tracing reference footage') is an old, old process, almost as old as animation itself.

Interestingly, the director of End of Evangelion, Hideaki Anno was mentored by Miyazaki and was an animator on Nausicaa.

To my eyes, the SF4 Chun Li is infinitely inferior to SF3, and I'm not even an animator.

Yep, low-level animator is a relatively low-paying job, and you're lucky to get it.

Before I was a working programmer, I worked in graphic designer and 3D modeler and sometime animator.

Alot of pro artists are using Astropad now, in fact we even had a Pixar animator use and loved it!

I just remember all sorts of crazy things we would do with Animator and my kids.

Pretty much any freelance animator online is already using patreon.

In my mid-30s I learned to program, studied business and economics, and switched careers from being a 3d animator to a software consultant.

The ideal career path for an ambitious, hard-working, and politically savvy animator is to switch over to the producer track as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Arin/Egoraptor is an animator, but animations are hard work to create and aren't rewarded financially on YouTube anymore, so he specifically went into something where he could make money (doing Let's Plays).

Also, there aren't very many "high-level" animator jobs at the end of the line, either.

The options are called "Window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale".

My interpretation was that anime's more limited, stylized animation was due to its direct influence from the prolific manga artist and animator Osamu Tezuka (sometimes called "the Walt Disney of Japan.") All comics, Western or Eastern, must heavily stylize motion in order to have any hope of expressing it in still frames.

"Animator" could have lots of interpretations/types of jobs, and many people that have pursued careers in the arts may have spent money on special purpose art colleges that cost a lot, but definitely don't always translate to high paying jobs.

This is almost solely due to a Flash Designer/Animator creating the flash movie, they tend to just bump the frame rate up to something ridiculous like 60-90 fps to get smooth animation, and also overuse onFrameEnter event handlers which can be attached using the timeline.
