Their primary role involves setting up camera angles, composing shots, and arranging digital assets to establish the look and flow of animated sequences. Trainees work under the guidance of senior artists to learn industry-standard software and techniques, gaining hands-on experience to progress toward more advanced positions. This role is ideal for individuals looking to start a career in 3D animation or visual effects.
