Film and television animation is a model that is dynamically endowed with completion. This position is needed not only in cartoons we watch, but also in realistic movies, with the participation of animators. For example, Hu Ba in "Transformers" and "Hunters" all need animators to give them dynamic "life". This position will use Maya, 3Dmax, Nuke and other software.
Special effects production is slightly more difficult than other positions. The mainstream software for film special effects production is Houdini. To learn Houdini, you need to have the foundation of some other three-dimensional software, such as maya, Realflow, Vue, Nuke and so on. Then you need some English, math, programming skills and good logical thinking.
When it comes to the direction of development, the first thing to understand is that the direction of television and film in China are two different directions. If you want to do special effects and animation in movies, the three-dimensional software used is mainly MAYA. If it is advertising, e-commerce, column packaging, C4D is more efficient. Others may say that 3D MAX is now used in the game and construction industries.
The recommended development direction is advertising design companies, which can do commercial promotion videos, three-dimensional advertisements, AE animations, corporate promotional videos, wedding videos and so on. At the beginning, it is best to choose a place where you can contact the first-line projects, otherwise you may face endless sets of templates, which is far from the design itself.
Secondly, the TV station, in fact, the development of TV station is not good, many projects are outsourced to others, and there are many rules and regulations. Often, after making a video, it has to be reviewed layer by layer, and finally it has to be revised many times. If you are in a second-and third-tier city and can't find a suitable advertising design company, you can consider working in a TV station.
