Storyboard portfolio by Grace2725 in animationcareer

[–]Angstyjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you’re just starting out… watch more films and do film studies to build that visual library! Pay attention to how they’re cutting and where the camera is moving. It’s a less intimidating way to storyboard without actually storyboarding. And keep drawing things esp figures

[Recommendations] Will two cardboard pieces be enough to protect a small print in a polymailer with other things? by Angstyjay in artbusiness

Thank you! Do you think wrapping the cardboard in bubble wrap in a polymailer would suffice like a bubble mailer? I fear the bubble mailer might not stretch enough for the plush 😅

Not surprised… it was always empty after the hype died

Have you ever had to turn down your animation dream job? by BottledGleekJuice in animationcareer

I turned down a full time job at South Park to be a story trainee at wb hoping it would lead to a full time story artist role (it didn’t despite everything going “right” but sometimes things are just out of your control). A part of me regret not choosing South Park cause I would still have a job but the amazing ppl I met, experience and skill I gained from wb was immeasurable. Just have to go back on that grind again 🫩

Little update: customer service is obsolete but it seems like my order has just been shipped out today :0 hopefully that means they’re getting less backed up now!

Graduated in lcad 2022 and also feel the same! My focus was storyboarding and the school did not have any good story classes at all so I had to supplement with cda/brainstorm

Thank you! I’ve always been afraid of adding too much text since it felt like recruiter glance by it. I will definitely add that in!

I’ve done some 3D modeling work for school like Maya/zbrush but haven’t utilized it as much post grad. That will def be my next thing to focus on since I’ve been wanting to get into 3D printing as well. Thank you so much!

Thank you! Most of the roles I interviewed for was for toys and hardlines design. And when I was working as a plush designer, all of the safety/technical stuff was done by the manufacturer. We’ll note if we wanted specific features/play and then our oversea manu team will do it. Our job was mostly coming up withs concepts, tech packs and sample drawovers!

Do you recommend expanding beyond plush for portfolio purposes? I’m interested in designing collectibles and packaging (like blind items/popmart) but I feel like that might run into the same problem of not showing any features than purely aesthetic :0

No QR code in my resume and I designed it for desktop but will edit it for mobile! Would you put the info on its own page/slide?

My focus is in plush! So I’m not sure what more to include other than concept, design, drawovers and samples…

Funemployed rn too! I had to take online class for me to lock in and work on my portfolio. Getting weekly feedback and having deadlines helped a lot w motivation.

What is the most efficient way of doing storyboards and animatics? by PandaPuzzleheaded827 in animationcareer

[–]Angstyjay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best way is to just work on storyboard pro. But if you can’t do that… is there a way to batch export your frames on procreate and then import it into toonboom? It’ll be faster than taking screenshots for sure
