ANSWER: Hello Raj,
Now that you have demos to show start applying to studios now. There are entry level jobs of all kinds in animation. Find a list of studios online and send them a letter asking to apply. You'll need a resume and your demo reel and perhaps some portfolio of art work.
QUESTION: Hi sir,
thanks for your answer and fast response.
but i want to increase my confidence on my work. how can i do that. please give some tips to increase my confidence level and i also tensed to attend an interview.
Answer Hello Raj,
The best way to increase the level of quality of your work is by continuing to work on pieces until they look as good as any professional animation that you may have seen on television or in the theater. This is the only way to get better.
Show the pieces to friends and get criticism that can help you see the flaws in your work. Also, they can also tell you what is good about your work. Criticism isn't always negative.
