Why Animators Still Need Linkedin

 

Animators need Linkedin because now more than ever Linkedin has become the default platform for animation graduates looking for work.  Linkedin is a "one stop shop" for animation recruiters, who can find fresh talent, see their job history, watch their demo reel and - crucially - forward the link to their clients. The video above was recorded for our students at Buckinghamshire New University, studying for their MA in 3D Animation, but it applies equally to all out students at Animation Apprentice.
