Qualities of A Good Animator

3D computer animation film is a new film than other and 3D computer animation film is becoming a popular film. How do become a good animator? There are three qualities of how an animator sould do.

First, familiar with related graphic software’s is very important. However, using many specialized graphic software’s for animators is only basic techniques. If they only use those software, they are not use it very well on their work. The software is only a general tool, not their helper.

In addition, communications for animators is very important. Animators are not basic technicians. Good animators should have a good communication skill and good application. A big animation company has many staff, teams and different departments. If they do not understand communicate how to with other people, it is very difficult to cooperate with other people. Then, that could be very hard to adapt them in this condition.

The third quality is to have full devotion and interest in animation. In the animation industry. The work usually drains their devotion and health. For example, an animation film must division of many different sectors like modeling, lighting and characters' texture...etc. The company distributes animators into different sectors and they just like a huge assemble line. For animators, they work same action every day and long-time working hour in company.

To sum up, although animation artists have hard work, all the effort will be worthy animators see their animations broadcast on TVs or movies. It is also an art for animators because they communicate their concept via computer animation.

creative animation contest

Last month, I participated a creative animation contest by MRT company. This contest demand is use any tools make a thirty second animation and the animation content show about relate with MRT safely and MRT rule.

They selected thirty animation works and selected the best one by vote. I think it is very funny contest, so I spent four days to make this animation for the contest. Unfortunately for me, my animation is not nominated.

My animaton's character is a little egg and my animation works describe a little mischievous egg in mrt station. He amused hisself by sliding down the banister of escalator and he roll into the mrt car. It is very dangerous act. I want to use very funny story and showing the dangerous act. I think judge's anticipation are the format story.








As a result of this contest. I would need many good ideas for my works and thing about judge's anticipation.
