Two Brilliant Sites For Job-Hunting Animators

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Discovered these two fantastic sites a few days ago and thought I should share them with all you fellow animators and VFX-geeks out there that are looking for jobs in the industry. Both of them are really neat and should help you with finding different studios you can apply to. I’m definitely gonna have a closer look at these two sites once I get me demo reel done.

GameDevMaps

GameDevMaps

GameDevMaps basically gives you a map of most of the game development studios in the world. All you have to do is click on a location and the site will show you a list of all the studios in that area together with a link to their web site. Absolutely a great web site if you’re looking for any kind of job in the games industry.

Wayfaring – Animation Places of Interest

Wayfaring - Animation Places of Interest

Same concept as GameDevMaps, except this site covers all kind of games/film/commercial studios etc, not just the ones that are game related. Also if you see a studio that is missing, you can easily add it to the maps yourself. And since Wayfaring uses Google Maps the site gives you a much more accurate location of where everything is.

Animation resources

Learning to animate is a ridiculusly hard and time consuming thing to do (quite painful at times too, trust me), yet as with almost everything else, if you love doing it you’ll keep on going. But no matter what, if you’re going to school to learn animation or if you are doing it on your own, a solid list of good resources and tutorials is always nice to have laying around if you get stuck, or if you are ever unsure of how to do something. And for that reason I have compiled a list of the web sites I tend to visit often. Most of these sites are pretty well know, but a little reminder has never hurt anyone.
