You can steer your 3D animation career into the film animation industry. According to box office statistics for 2014, four of the top 10 grossing movies were strictly animated films – and that does not take into account that all top 10 movies contain computer-generated imagery (CGI). Another significant source of employment for animators is the video game industry. In Canada alone, in 2011, this industry employed nearly 27,000 people and contributed approximately $1.7 billion in economic activity. With a projected growth rate of 17 per cent over the next two years, the hiring of new graduates is expected to increase markedly. Enjoy the excitement of a vibrant industry where innovation rules, new ideas are appreciated and opportunities for advancement are plenty. Apply your talent, skills and ingenuity to creating everything from special effects for live-action and animated films to broadcast graphics for games, television and commercials. Or, pursue roles in CGI, character animation, lighting, rigging, rendering or technical directing.
