    Good questions

    Careers in animation questions, answered.

    How do I get into animation?
    Start making things now and share them online. College, T-levels, apprenticeships, university or teaching yourself can all get you there. Your portfolio matters most.
    Do I need a degree?
    Not always. Studios hire on the work you can show and how you work with people. Our getting noticed guide explains what we look for.
    Will AI take animation jobs?
    AI is another tool in a creative’s toolbox, like 3D and game engines before it. Creatives who embrace it, alongside their other skills, can do even more.
