I worked on The Rise of the Guardians at DreamWorks for a short period of time as a visual development artist. By the way, you may hear the term “visual development artist” and “concept artist” and wonder what the difference is. In short, they’re the same thing…at least these days. Back in the day however, “concept art” was though of as a live action thing, while “visual development” was an animation thing, and the artists rarely crossed the line. These days, it’s very common for live action designers to work in animation, and vice versa. I’m living proof of this.
