Coincidentally, somebody posted a note on rec.arts.animation
to the effect that Don Bluth's new animation studio in
Phoenix is staffing up. The basic requirement for animators
was said to be "strong illustration skills," with the idea
being that someone who already had strong illustration skills
could be taught to be a computer operator. Your portfolio
is what would get you in the door to begin with. How Disney
does things these days, I dunno, but probably the main thing
is a good art background, with emphasis on cartooning, perspective,
forms, motion, objects in space, that kinda stuf'.
