What's an Animator?
You've seen a few cartoons in your lifetime, right? And you've also probably seen online stuff like Encarta, so you know these things blend graphics, animation, video and writing. There are writers for the script, actors for "voice overs". And of course, there are the people who create the pictures. Simulations are another kind of animation.
That's where you come in. You'll not only take the ideas people have and put them into pictures, but if you do computer animation, you may have to program or even stand in as voice talent! Animators can earn between $43,980 and $59,000.
