An animation director isn’t just responsible for the quality of an animation; they’re responsible for keeping it on brief and for delivering consistent performances by assigning, or casting, the appropriate Animators. Their first task is to liaise with clients and interpret what it is that they want. Following that, they must supervise and review the work created by the animators all whilst making sure the project is delivered on time and on budget. It’s not surprising, then, that an animation director has to be a brilliant communicator.
