Industry Pulse Check- Game or Feature
Hey! I'm a young adult currently enrolled in 3D Animation with Animschool and I'm set to finish my certification within the next two years. The question of whether or not I'll be taking on their feature animation track or game animation track is steadily approaching for me.
I just wanted to do sort of a pulse check for how either of these industries are faring right now in the real world. You guys are probably sick about hearing about the concerns for AI here, I am too, but it's a very real fear. I want to know if maybe one of the two paths is turning out/will turn out less affected.
My assumption was originally that game animation would take to AI less efficiently considering it's so interactive, but Ive also heard that game animation is notoriously harder to land and hold a position in regardless compared to feature- but maybe AI is affecting it just as much as feature anyways, I don't really know?
I have a love for both fields and would not mind going down either path, so it's not a question of personal interest for me. I truly just want to know which of the two is surviving a little better right now so that I can get an idea for what would be a safer choice.
Thank you so much!
