"I went into my art program, unsure of what I wanted to major in. I stumbled across animation and took a few courses. After dipping my toe into the industry, I loved it so much that I decided to jump in full force. I haven't looked back, and that was fifteen years ago. I love that animation technology is ever-changing, and I am constantly challenged by new trends."

The interviewer needs to hear that you are excited at the prospect of being an animator for their company. Talk about what interests you about this creative opportunity. Perhaps you enjoy art and technology. Maybe you are pursuing a career as an animation director, and this is a great way to begin that career path. Whatever interests you about being an animator, share it!

Nisha Yadav

"I fell in love with animation at an early age. Whenever I used to watch an animated movie, I dreamt of making something like that on my own. I would run with my pencil crayons and try to recreate the characters that I saw. As I matured, I realized that I could use this skill and incorporate my love of technology. It was a no-brainer decision for me!"
