But wait, what is a scene build artist?
Animated scenes consist of many different parts – the background picture, the characters, props, foreground elements and also the audio track containing the character voices and sound effects.
As a scene build artist you will be responsible for collecting all these parts, putting them together in the right order and then creating the actual look of the shot by placing the characters in the right position and using the camera to create a beautifully composed scene ready for the animators.
This is all done in industry standard software called Toonboom Harmony. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of it. That’s what this course is for!
Do you love watching cartoons or playing video games?
Are you an enthusiastic, hard worker with an eye for detail and keen to learn?
