3-D Animation Question:

This is a really common question when it comes to animation job interviews because deadlines are always being moved to cope with the demands of a busy studio and the different departments within it – so it makes sense that an employer wants to know that you’ll be able to stand up to this pressure.

When it comes to answering this question, it’s obviously important to react positively (eg. answering with “not well” really isn’t advisable!), but it’s also important to back your answer up with a fairly recent(ish) example. For example, you could say “I’ve got lots of experience in dealing with changing deadlines – this was pretty common at company A. I remember on this one occasion the deadline changed and was bought forward two weeks. This caused my team to rethink our strategy, which resulted in the project being completed on time and to a very high standard”.
