** PODCAST SCRIPT ** There are four types of animation. 1  The traditional cell animation 2  Full animation 3  Limited animation 4  Rotoscoping 5  2D animation To get a sucsefull job in animation you need creativity and patience. A proffesional job in animation would not include anything exept moving objects. Some times you don't even create the images yourself. But doing solo/ freelancer animations include alot of skills in media. This is because you have to record voices, write scripts, do character design and edit sounds and lots of other things. There aren't alot of jobs in 2D animation because it isn't exactly the most commonly used type of media.

 * Animation ** is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. 2D animation is a job that involves using technology to create entertainment/ media.
