You have an eye for design. You enjoy bringing objects to life. You know that animation is more than just talking heads, it's about visualizing everything that the story and the characters need to bring them to life. You know what it takes to create a compelling narrative with your own hands and you think it's fun to give inanimate objects a little personality. Without you, we'd always be at the mercy of actors. You like that.

Multi-media artists/animators are imaginative designers and visual effects creators of all things animated. Multi-media artists/animators create special effects, animation and other visual images using film, video, computers or other electronic tools and media for use in products or creations, including computer games, movies, music videos and commercials.
