puppets.

features strongly in motion pictures (to create special effects or an
animated film in its own right), as well as in aspects of television
work, the internet and the computer games industry. The basic skill of animation still relies heavily on the animator's
artistic ability, but there is a growing need for animators to be
familiar with technical computer packages. Education : Bachelors Degree
