Animation Layout Artist-
In the living theater, the set designer has a very important role. In animation, that role has a tendency to about as much attention, and yet it is significantly more important, for here the context for the content has an amplified opportunity for interaction. Often pencil sketched on punched animation paper, these background layouts reference the storyboard and all other pertinent research. The purpose is almost structural, for on the one hand matters of lighting and color, perspective and positioning are being worked out (to be developed by background painters later), while on the other hand the narrative is being forwarded as well as possible (CreativeHeads.net, 2010).
Pulling information from Pixar and DreamWorks in appears this position pays in the low six figures (Glassdoor.com, 2010, Jobs-Salary.com, 2010).
Storyboard Artist-
Often this individual starts out in an assisting position, speedily sketching and or cutting and pasting, working expressions of narrative development revisions and cleanup. In the full-blown position, the storyboard artist is the scene-by-scene architect, seeing the finished entirety as much as possible (though this is usually in flux) before committing to a development choice.
It appears, at least the DreamWorks anyway, this position pays in the low six figures (SalaryList.com, 2009).
