Many youngsters are looking at animation as a viable career option but do they really know what they are getting into? Do they have the basic talent needed? Studios complain about the lack of talented animators, institutes are blamed for trying to make a quick buck off students without really training them… the finger pointing goes on. The demand for animators is certainly very high but unless they are trained well enough to meet the demands, the industry will flounder. What is the solution?
