Hamburg is home to not only a number of game studios, but also vocational schools and universities, so there are a lot of students and career starters looking to break into the industry. That's why the goal of our Game Starter Series is to spotlight different professions and the many ways into the industry, while also offering a connection between newcomers and experienced professionals. 

For the ninth installment of Game Starter on March 17, we looked at "Game Animation". Industry experts reported on their careers, their jobs and answered the participant’s questions. They talked about work flows and the everyday challenges in game animation, their experiences in the games industry and things they would have liked to know at the beginning of their careers.

Our experts at Game Starter Game Animation:

Johann Kruschinski, Game Artist at Handy Games

Kay Seifert, Animation Artist at Mimimi Games

Hans Böhme, Art Director at bildundtonfabrik
