Animation : Advice in how to get into the Animation industry what shall I do by Angela Lartey

You might find some script festivals to submit it to or check out some webinars on breaking into the industry. https://www.stage32.com/education/search?term=animation

By "getting into the industry," do you mean that you want to sell your script as a film or TV show?

That is not a realistic goal for an outsider with a single script. The companies that make those films and shows are not looking for submissions. They have established writers and animatin companies that they work with.

So what should you do? I see three paths.

1) Become established writer. Write a lot of scripts. Get a job in the industry as a writer's assistant or reader. Familiarize yourself with the industry and look for opportunities.

2) If you have talent as an artist, study to be an animator and work your way up that food chain.

3) Work outside the system. Produce your own work. Make quality work that gets attention and makes "the industry" come calling to work with you.

A good overview of the process of producing animation is in this webinar, From Script to Screen: Tools To Get Your Animation Project Made.

Love the honest and solution oriented advice Mike Boas I have a very talented writer friend and he recently left his day job to pursue writing fulltime and break into the industry. Well, it's been almost a year and he is still struggling to find work. Your option 1 is spot on and very realistic. Hardly anyone thinks about being a reader or assistant and it truly is a great way to get in based on people I have met who have done it. The assistant route seems to be consistent. Of course with AI become ubiquitous, that might become a struggle. For now, it's still valid.

Option 3 is great too. I know an actor who struggled to find work for one whole year and then he wrote a script, asked for favours to shoot it. Put it out on Youtube and promoted it. Since then he has landed 5 jobs, won awards, been invited to festivals and got recruited by a talent agency,

Sometimes you have to just prove your worth by standing out beyond the rest.

Kudos to Mike Boas for giving the exact same advice, and link to education, that I wanted to give when I read your post. I guess I will clock out. Mike has it covered. :-)

Tom Lapke He always does, doesn't he!

Nice to be appreciated!

For the record, I’ve done a little of 2, a little of 3. I've never really tried to get scripts sold.

But I’ve worked on enough animation and live action projects with competency to gain respect from my peers.
