Challenges faced by a freelance animator

October 29, 2020

At times, there is going to be a roller-coaster ride that every freelancer would face in terms of establishing themselves. The competition in the freelance market is huge as it goes through several changes within a short duration of time.

The freelance market is dependent on the other people in order to sustain, and if the main industries start shaking, then the freelance industry is going to collapse, in turn killing the dreams of several people that are looking forward to establishing themselves as businessmen and freelancers.

The freelance industry opens up several opportunities for a lot of professions, and in today’s world, the animation is one of the most happening industries. There is a pool of freelance animation profiles that are available on almost all the freelance websites and other channels.

A majority of people find it totally convenient to transform themselves into freelancers as there are several benefits. On the contrary, the freelance market has a lot of challenges that every animation expert would go through.

You can learn more about the challenges that every freelancing animation expert will experience when they are part of this industry from the next section of the article.

  • Competition

The first and foremost challenge that can become a major obstacle to you to establish as a freelance animator at dormzi and other agencies is a fierce competition that you get to experience. There could be a lot of people similar to you that are struggling to establish themselves in the freelance industry.

Such people would also have an equal amount of talent and competency, and they might be trying on the same project that you are trying to propose. Cutting through the competition and establishing yourself and reaching the topmost position is going to be the greatest challenge of all time when you are part of the freelance industry.

  • Loneliness

Although a lot of people choose to become freelancers because of the freedom that they get but, over a period of time, the kind of freedom and liberty can also lead to a lot of loneliness. It is always nice to be a part of the team and work together, exchanging some fun.

Human beings are considered to be social animals, and at a point in time freelancing industry can become extremely challenging because you have to face everything on your own without any support at all. There could be a lot of times where you are expected to handle complex projects all by yourself, and you might start feeling lonely as you may not find any help.

  • Payment issues

As a freelance animation expert, you have a lot of opportunities, but at the same time, you might come across clients that are dubious. Some of the clients can make you do the entire project and disappear without making the payment. You do not have any ways of holding the responsibility for filing a legal case against them unless and until the channel that your profile is registered with supports you. The payment is not guaranteed, and this makes it extremely difficult at times, especially when you are going through a financial crunch.

You can also not expect the stabilized income in this industry, and people with huge commitments cannot rely upon this industry for a longer duration as it is extremely dicey.

  • Dry seasons

There is a lot of dry seasons that can be faced in the freelance industry. At times, the season would be so low that you can never find any projects at all, and that can be totally frustrating.

  • Advanced technical skills

The clients that you come across in the freelance industry are totally demanding, and they would never compromise upon a profile that lacks advanced technical skill sets. As an individual, it might become extremely difficult for you to learn a new technology immediately and implement them on the go.

  • Termination of the contract

As a freelance animation expert, you will get to work with clients that can provide higher your services on a contract basis. Despite the agreement, the contract can be terminated whenever the client decides to without any prior notice. You certainly cannot rely on the contract although there is documentation, and this again can be challenging in terms of finding a job immediately or any other assignment.

  • No rewards and ethics

There are a lot of scammers that surround the freelance industry, and you can come across people that might make you work on an assignment day in and day out and end up calling it worthless despite the assignment being delivered at its best.

You certainly would feel hurt as there is no appreciation in this industry. Instead, you would be penalized at every single step by the client, and that can make you feel frustrated. There are chances of you coming across people that are completely unethical and unprofessional. These are the two other things that can make you feel disconnected from the freelance industry.

These are some of the most important challenges that every freelance animation expert would go through in their career.
