List studio name, project title (if public), your specific role, and production dates. Include shot counts or sequence credits where possible. For unreleased projects under NDA, list the studio and role without project details. Studio credits are the primary hiring currency in animation, so present them prominently and accurately.

Yes, especially for entry level or between studio opportunities. Personal projects and short films show initiative, creative range, and technical experimentation beyond studio pipeline work. Include film festival selections, online recognition, and social media traction for personal animation work. Studios value animators who are passionate about the craft.

Use specific numbers, percentages, dollar amounts, or time frames to quantify your impact. For example, "increased revenue by 25%" or "managed a team of 12." Even if you do not have exact figures, provide reasonable estimates with context to demonstrate measurable results.

Use professional, readable fonts like Calibri, Arial, or Garamond at 10 to 12 point size for a Animator resume. Stick to black text, clear section headers, and generous white space. Avoid decorative fonts, bright colors, and complex layouts that can cause ATS parsing errors.

Most Animator resumes should be one page for candidates with under 10 years of experience and two pages for senior professionals. Prioritize relevance over length. Every line should earn its place by demonstrating value to the target role.
