Hi Stathis – There are certainly some similarities between pre-production art in video games and cg animated films. I’d suggest showing an understanding of solid composition/cinematography if possible since the cameras are fixed (unlike many video games where the player controls the camera), as well as some understanding of staging and lighting. We really need people who have a strong understanding of space and scale, and who are versatile enough to jump between styles depending on the film.

I was wondering what kind of work would go into a portfolio targeted for doing concept art for an animation studio? I am not interested in an animation position just pre-production development, and mainly environments. I have a portfolio targeted for game concept art, but I would think that an animation studio would want something different….

Thanks for your time!
