<<What do you think- are they looking for just programmers, or ones
who can communicate an experience? I doubt that my little
programming skills will dazzle them. I have taken Pascal, drafting,
and some electronics courses though.>>
I think they'd be interested in programmers, but more so animators.
The way the future of TV, Film and advertising is going, computers
are becoming more a part and less a "cool thing". If I had gone to
school (instead of sef-study) I would
have worked on both computing and art or film. A combination of both
is CRUCIAL for this new field. I too have a lot of computer
experience, but don't have the piece of paper to prove it.
My advise? Make yourself available to any small computer animation
company. And learn 3D Studio. It may not be SoftImage, but the
theories are basically the same. What little exeprience I have had on
the bigger machines has only showed me that 3D Studio is as
sophisticated (sp?) as the big boys…
