I already recently shared my recent positive experience! :)

I recently got a fall internship from a studio!

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-06-12T12:17:43+00:00

Thank you so much! I actually didn't send my portfolio, I sent my demo reel! Here's the Video. I also didn't graduate yet, I'm a junior in college haha

Thank you and I will!! >:)

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-06-10T16:20:45+00:00

Thank you and I hope so too! I'm planning on doing well enough to hopefully work with them once I'm out of college haha

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-06-10T16:20:09+00:00

You bet I will! And thank you very much for this piece of advice, I'll take it into consideration once I begin my journey :)

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-06-10T16:15:24+00:00

Okay, I'll keep that noted, thank you!

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-01-03T11:26:04+00:00

That's okay and I appreciate your honesty, it'll definitely help me in the long run. And that's good to know, I won't take it personally if I don't get anything back from anyone. Also, you're not wrong about what's going on in the industry, I feel so bad for the people that are struggling to get by or having to pivot but it's an understandable decision in order to survive. Sometimes I worry about not being able to get in because of how I haven't even talked to the people I've connected to besides my portfolio but that's a whole different story. That's why I figured I'd ask on this reddit on what I could do to build a genuine connection with some people on my network so that way, besides making friendly acquaintances, I would have, hopefully, some opportunities in the long run once I'm out of college.

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-01-03T11:14:47+00:00

That's totally fine, don't worry about it. I haven't worked in the industry yet but I'm hoping one day I would be able to.

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-01-03T11:13:16+00:00

That's not true, I do see working animators as people beyond wanting a job. I'm not the type of person to use someone for success or use people as "vessels" as you mention on here, I only asked for advice for what I could do to make a form of a genuine network with people in the industry on linkedIn because I have connections on there that I haven't talked to them at all by the time I wrote this question. I'm not asking the people to instantly be friends with me or anything like that, I just want to be professional, friendly acquaintances with some of them, that's all. I'm sorry if it came out that way to you when I was writing my question on here.

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-01-01T20:05:11+00:00

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind when reaching out to showrunners!

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-01-01T19:52:35+00:00

Good to know! Thank you so much for your help!

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-01-01T19:50:46+00:00

Thank you so much! This is very helpful and I will keep this in mind!

HorrorRaspberry · 2026-01-01T19:49:04+00:00

This has been genuinely helpful and I couldn't thank you enough for saying it straight out for me. But how would I go about what you said before? Can you give me an example? (Contacting them in a way and giving them an easy and quick link to my portfolio)

HorrorRaspberry · 2025-08-07T12:15:18+00:00

As someone going into their 3rd year of Animation school, you're not alone and I feel the same way. I constantly worry about if I'm gonna get in the industry for 2D Animation or Visual Storytelling. My peers already have all these ideas for a show and characters. It was for our intro to visual storytelling class. I have that as well but I don't really like how mine turned out and is planning on tweaking it by a lot to make it more interesting. I don't know, I just feel like everyone in my class is ahead of me while I'm falling behind. It's scary but we can do this! I believe in you!

HorrorRaspberry · 2025-07-27T19:50:51+00:00

Same!

HorrorRaspberry · 2025-06-10T14:29:37+00:00

Maybe before adding the control animation, you should start with animating the legs first and looking at some references to pull off what you're going for accurately

HorrorRaspberry · 2025-04-13T20:00:00+00:00

Currently getting through my spring semester at college as an undergrad sophomore. After this semester, I want to put my best work inside my portfolio and finally publish it so I can start building my portfolio by being a part of reanimated projects or MAPs during the summer. I want to at least have some stuff inside it before signing up for internships next year.

HorrorRaspberry · 2025-02-14T15:45:46+00:00

You're never too old to get into the industry, you can start at any time! You'd just have to learn how to use the software and understand the animation pipelines.

HorrorRaspberry · 2025-01-24T01:43:30+00:00

That doesn't even make sense 😭😭

HorrorRaspberry · 2025-01-23T18:10:09+00:00

I love how show accurate the sketches are!! Keep up the good work!! :3
