Online Course: How Video Game Players Experience Success

Back in 1987, the first edition of Final Fantasy was once considered the most state-of-the art animation in the market. Compare it to the most recent version of Prince of Persia (the game), and Final Fantasy 1 looks like a cave drawing.

These days, animators are a high demand profession, primarily thanks to two key developments. First and foremost was the advent of the computer. The other reason was the incredible expansion of video games in large part thanks again to the computer. The video game industry brought in $21.4 billion in 2008, and 26% of its 80,000 employees are a new kind of animator, one who specializes in gaming.In other words, gaming animation has evolved at breakneck speed over the last few decades. This is due to two key factors; the lightning fast evolution of the computer, which in turn caused the incredible growth of the video game industry itself. The video game industry grossed over $20 billion in 2008, now making a major contributor to the nation’s gross national product. In turn, this has created a new type of animator, one who specializes in gaming as opposed to more traditional TV or film.

At his or her core, a gaming animator has to have the same basic skill set as his or her TV/film comrade. These days they must be as equally skilled at a desktop as with a paintbrush. All must have excellent visual story telling skills, as well as the visual acuity of a professional painter. Knowledge of the most popular animation software is also standard.

In fact, these days it’s also common for any respectable college-level art school to ask their applicants to not only provide a presentation portfolio, but also a demo reel or disk. They have to display how much about the production process they know.

Where gaming animation differs from TV in film is how animators apply their craft. In traditional animation, the viewer has no active participation in the story, while the gamer is quite the opposite. Whatever he punches on his console has a consequence on what happens on the screen. This means the gaming animator has to come up with imagery with whatever the gamer does, whether it be throwing a right hook or offering a flower.

As for financial aid, it is around. What truly makes the difference for a young animator is the demo reel. A high school student who produces an animation reel that captures a judge’s attention for originality, skill or story telling will quickly find a number of scholarships available to them. Like any other educational path, there are also a number of grants, such as the Pell, available for worthy but needy students.

What does work in an animator’s favor though is it’s a very small field. The Bureau of Labor Statistics believes there are about 20,000 as of 2009, half them employed in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Salaries can go up to $80,000, depending heavily on where one works. California, the heart of America’s entertainment industry, pays higher than any other city. From there, one can move on to a director or producer’s job.

As for the future of gaming animation, the advent of the high speed modem and online school options have introduced a whole new arena for video games, thus a need for more gaming animators. With many students using college grants to get their education, it makes one wonder what Final Fantasy will look like in another 25 years!
