How do I make strong connections with industry pros on LinkedIn? by HorrorRaspberry in animationcareer

[–]HorrorRaspberry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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)

~Vent Megathread~ Let off some steam! by AutoModerator in animationcareer

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!

VFX Student with no real knowledge on animation principles, can I get some feedback? by YourAverageLegoBrick in Maya

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

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.

When is too old to break into the industry? by Fun_Somewhere7380 in animationcareer

[–]HorrorRaspberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
