I graudate in a year and a half but i have already started story-boarding my demo reel, if i am doing an animation reel it is not necessary to have anything else i was thinking of have 3D and 2D animation displayed and dynamic life drawing sketches at the end? what do you think Hi I am currently attending the art institute of fort Lauderdale for animation I was wondering on some pointers on the demo reel thingy… I graudate in a year and a half but i have already started story-boarding my demo reel, if i am doing an animation reel it is not necessary to have anything else i was thinking of have 3D and 2D animation displayed and dynamic life drawing sketches at the end? what do you think

You really have to evaluate that first - which may be tricky from outside the industry...I can see that you really are not happy with your current career. My wife is in a similar situation where she really hates her (lucrative) job, but is considering leaving it to pursue her own business. As I mentioned, do all the evaluating and weighing, but in the end it will be a leap of faith - you'll never know if you didn't try. You want to be in a city/area with a high concentration of production studios that produce animation. Hi Johnathan,

I am afraid to quit my job because I am afraid that I will not be able to find a job after graduating the year long program. My main question is about the stability of this industry and whether or not I should get into this career which I know will make me happy, or if I should stay in a career that I am definately NOT happy in.
