Getting in Good with the Film Industry

If you're trying to get experience, or just trying to get in good with the higher-ups of a film industry, it's best to find a lower level position that will give you a window of opportunity to get your name in with your superiors. Give yourself an edge and make connections, because those connections might have connections with potential employers.

Knowledge is power, so don't fall flat when you can't answer a few basic questions. Do research on your company of interest and ask yourself questions like, "why am I interested in this company?" or, "where would I fit best?". The more you know and the more you have planned, the better the outcome will be.

Study budgets. Big budgets, low budgets, and everything in between. What is manageable and what is practical? Just because the budget is big doesn't mean that the movie will take off. It is important to figure out what kind of budget you have to kick off your film making career.

I thought this article was extremely helpful. It offers great advise and tips for success.

Very encouraging :) Revitalizes hopes of success

Do these tips also apply to animation jobs? Or are there a separate set of tips for that field?
