Hey /g/, there is something that bothers me.
Why is that i see so many people using and learning things like Photoshop, programming 3D modeling and animation or 2D animation and drawing but i don't see many "Motion graphic designers" or whatever they are called ? Like movies are like 150%CGI nowdays and every kind of movie uses some sort of CGI so wouldn't more people interested in this sort of stuff? I have been trying to learn some low-level After effects and this shit is fun as fuck, for sure compared to modelling and programming (even if programming is most of what i do). I am even considering trying to use more time of my days on learning more of AE and things like this. is it worth it? I wouldn't mind this becoming my job some day if it will keep being as fun as it is when i learn more about this sort of stuff.
What the fuck are you talking about? Motion graphics, like most TV/film related fields, is extremely competitive and grueling. As an example, it is the norm for internships to be unpaid and there are lots of people competing for those positions. People competing to work for free. And because it's so competitive, you actually have to be good at what you do for a chance at a "real" job. Once you get that job, you're working long hours for pennies. I don't know where you are, but believe me, there are lots and lots of motion graphics people out there.

Probably should've mentioned I dropped out a few years ago when I realized how "passionate" you have to be about anything film/TV related to find success. That or have connections. Now I'm NEET but slowly learning Swift and heavily considering going back to school for computer science, or else grinding out personal projects to get a job.
