How to become an animation director?

A career as an animation director does not absolutely require you to have specific degrees, experience, or qualifications, though most successful directors have degrees in art, film, or animation. During school you should pursue opportunities to intern at animation studios or production companies; in addition to learning valuable skills, you will form social networks that can help with later job searches. Many animation directors begin their careers as animators and join the animation guild, which protects worker rights and can help you define a career path.
