I loved being able to see and learn from all of the different departments in animation like production, storyboarding, and art production. Everyone was also very kind and was more than willing to answer any questions I had.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have worked on-site more since I mostly worked from home.
Advice
If as an intern you want to learn about art production, it is helpful to have basic knowledge about Adobe programs (specifically Illustrator and Photoshop)

I learned a lot about working in a studio and what I learned was often tailored to me specifically. The environment was inclusive and well organized.
What I wish was different
I would have loved to opportunity to do more on-site work but given covid I understand
Advice
You will always get as much out of an experience as you put in. Everyone at Lion Forge was incredibly helpful and willing to answer questions so ask as many dumb questions as possible.

Animation Intern
January - May 2021 • Creve Coeur, MO
What I liked
I liked that I learned more than I was expecting. I thought I would just be animating when I actually learned more about the entire process it takes to get to the animation portion.
What I wish was different
I wish I got to animate more, but I am grateful for everything I learned.
Advice
Don't animate fights, employers are tired of seeing them. Also make sure to be a sponge and learn everything that you can.
