What is a full time animation clean up artist?

Full Time Animation Clean Up Artists are professionals in the animation industry who refine and finalize rough animation drawings. Their primary responsibility is to clean up and polish the initial sketches created by animators, ensuring that the final lines are consistent, clear, and ready for coloring and production. They work closely with animators and other artists to maintain the intended style and quality of the animation. This role requires strong drawing skills, attention to detail, and proficiency with animation software or traditional drawing techniques.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a full time animation clean up artist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Full Time Animation Clean Up Artist, you need strong drawing skills, an understanding of animation principles, and often a degree or coursework in animation or art. Proficiency with digital animation tools such as Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate, or similar software is typically required. Attention to detail, time management, and the ability to collaborate effectively with team members are crucial soft skills. These abilities ensure that cleaned-up animations are polished, consistent, and delivered on schedule, which is vital for maintaining production quality and workflow.

What are some common challenges animation clean up artists face when working on tight production schedules?

Animation Clean Up Artists often encounter the challenge of maintaining high-quality line work and consistency across frames while meeting tight deadlines. The role requires balancing speed with attention to detail, as even small errors can impact the final animation. Team communication is essential, as Clean Up Artists frequently coordinate with animators and supervisors to ensure style consistency and integrate feedback efficiently. Adapting to changing priorities and last-minute revisions is also a regular aspect of the job.

What is the difference between Full Time Animation Clean Up Artist vs Inbetween Artist?

AspectFull Time Animation Clean Up ArtistInbetween Artist
CredentialsTypically requires a background in animation, drawing skills, and sometimes a diploma or certification in animation or artSimilar credentials, often entry-level, focusing on drawing and understanding of animation principles
Work EnvironmentWorks in animation studios, collaborating with animators and directors, often on full-time basisUsually employed in animation studios or as freelancers, focusing on filling in frames between key drawings
Industry UsageCommonly used in professional animation production, especially in TV and filmFrequently referenced in animation pipelines, often as a stepping stone to cleaner-up roles

While both roles involve drawing and understanding animation principles, a Full Time Animation Clean Up Artist typically has more responsibilities in refining and finalizing animated frames, working full-time in studios. An Inbetween Artist focuses on creating intermediate frames to ensure smooth motion, often as an entry-level position or part of the animation process.

The successful candidate will teach 4 courses per year (2 per semester) and develop new courses in animation that create synergy with existing courses in 2D and 3D animation, game design, new media, and manga. The position's location in an art and design school means that courses and curriculum can intersect in exciting ways with other school disciplines such as drawing, graphic design, illustration, and a future degree program planned in industrial design. The faculty member's teaching contributions will accentuate student skills and career readiness so that they can enter industries of multiple kinds where animation is applied (entertainment, industrial, medical, etc.). The faculty member will also provide service and leadership to the Media Arts program, school, college, and university. Expectations include maintaining a high level of research accomplishment via exhibited creative work and/or scholarship, active pursuit of professional opportunities in the field, and strong and engaged teaching.
The School of Visual Art and Design employs 40 full-time faculty members who teach classes for approximately 650 majors in four disciplines: art education, art history, film and media, and studio art and design. The school, which is accredited with NASAD and NCATE, offers BA, BFA, MA, MAT, and MFA degrees. For more information about the School of Visual Art and Design visit our website at http://artsandsciences.sc.edu/art.

  • We welcome applications from individuals who are interested in moving from industry to academia.
Preferred Qualifications
  • In addition to the required education and experience the successful candidate will have a research profile in media production with a focus on animation and demonstrate the potential for ongoing contributions to the field as an artist-researcher. 
  • We are especially interested in candidates who can incorporate 2D animation concepts and techniques in their teaching and research to produce novel and exciting contributions to industry and/or arts and culture. 
  • While the research profile should align with the film and media program's existing focus on the media industries (video game design, 3D animation, film/video production, and manga), it may also expand upon it through interdisciplinary research with other fields, including industrial design. For example, the candidate's research profile could center on narrative animation production for entertainment, documentary or experimental animation, animation for industry and science communication, or a combination of research interests.
