Hand Drawn Animator
Hand drawn animators are the creative visionaries who breathe life into characters and stories through traditional animation techniques. In a world increasingly dominated by digital media, their artistry preserves a unique, nostalgic charm that captivates audiences of all ages, making them essential in the entertainment industry both in the UK and globally.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
