An animator is a person who creates a character, they will create many images which are then played rapidly after one another to show the character move.

Animators can work with 2d and 3d animations or most commonly computer generated. Animators use there creations on the television, the Internet, in games, sometimes in books (by having the animation in the corner and flicking the book quickly), or sometimes when the creations are exeptional they are used in movies (finding nemo, shrek and chicken run).

Animators need to be able to draw, able be creative to create their own characters and how to use a computer.

To be an animator, the person needs stationary, and a computer to make there character more life like.

To be able to be a good animator you need to be able to work in a team, work with colours and creations, understanding tecnology and a good sense of creativity.
