Search Results: big game

After 3 long years of job searching, I finally got into the film industry doing post production and technical stuff and I can not be happier. It was my childhood dream.

I have some college friends who also work in film like myself but as animators, some that work in big game companies like Electronic Arts and some that are artists for mobile games. Mobile games is very entry level and quite easy to get into if you're a 2D or 3D artist. I got in a debate with a friend who is an artist for a mobile game company and constantly boasts about how cool his job is and how rich he will get and so on. My defense was I get to see shots of big movies before they are even released and I get to process the shots that the client (e. g Disney or Marvel) send us. To me, mobile games are okay and can be fun but they are not that popular like say EA games are and is much harder for them to gain a community. I won't disclose the company I work for but I get to work on some very big name movies even though I'm a very small role and 99% of the time they won't put my name in the end credits and just credit us as a whole studio but I don't care.

I feel like my job is more rewarding because people anticipate the release of the movies I work on but maybe I'm just being biased. When a mobile game is released, they constantly have to find people that they can sponsor to get the word out about their game. That's why you see so many gaming YouTubers get sponsored by mobile game developers.

So I want to ask the people of GaG of what they find appealing if given the opportunity and hopefully put this debate to bed.
