What does the day look like?
You start by reading a brief, then storyboard and prepare assets in Illustrator or Photoshop. The core of the day — roughly 40–60% — is animation and compositing in After Effects or similar: typography, logos, UI elements. Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Cinema 4D, 3ds Max, and Figma also appear in the workflow.
About 15–25% goes to revisions and client reviews; 10–20% to storyboards, file organisation, and asset prep; 5–15% to export, render troubleshooting, and delivery formats. Most agency and studio roles are weekday office or remote work with deadline crunches rather than fixed night shifts; broadcast/TV roles may add shift work or same-day turnaround. The "hero" animation is less than half the day — most hours go to revisions, exports, and briefs.
