⟩ Tell me how did you get your first paying job in the Animation Industry? Who was your employer and what was your job title?
My very first job was as a "3D Technical Artist" at Lucasarts. I had just graduated from Ringling and to be quite honest, I just wanted to get my foot in the door. To just get the smallest opportunity at a studio where I could grow. Luckily I had a friend who was already working there and she gave my name to another production who was looking for an Entry Level Artist. I basically took the animations created by animators and putting them into the game engine. That's the short of it. It was a great beginner job and helped me learn about every aspect in the game industry. It helped me connect with other animators and gave me production experience that I needed.
