Runner
This is usually an entry-level role in Animation
studios. Runners are employed on low salaries, and are expected to cover a
multitude of, sometimes menial, tasks. They are often a combination of
handyman/woman, production office dogsbody, relief receptionist and messenger.
However, many people with successful careers in all aspects of animation
started their careers as Runners.
Skills
Runners must be bright, helpful, presentable,
articulate and have basic literacy, numeracy and communication skills. It is
helpful if they already have an interest in animation and, to get the most out
of their time in the job, they need to develop an understanding of the
production process. Runners must be able to cope under pressure, accept
instructions from all quarters, show initiative and problem solving skills,
respond quickly to requests and know how to prioritise their tasks.
