Georgia Animation Scene

Georgia is one of the top five states for film production. Films such as The Blind Side and Fast & the Furious were filmed in Georgia, and Atlanta is home to a 30-acre studio complex called EUE/Screen Gems. The studio also has locations in New York and North Carolina. The city of Atlanta has also opened its doors to more new production studios than just about any other city in the region. This makes it a great place for animators new to the field to score an internship or an entry-level position to gain valuable experience. 

Georgia is home to more than 700 salaried animators and multimedia artists, and possibly hundreds of freelancers. Many live in large cities such as artsy Savannah, trendy Atlanta, and laid-back Columbus. They work in industries such as film and video, game design, advertising, technology, and education.
