Ask AI: What is the career path called when you make up your own storyline and animate it

The career path you're referencing is potentially a combination of two roles: a storyboard artist and animator. If you're creating the storyline, you'd be a storyboard artist or scriptwriter, but if you're also creating the animations, you could be considered an animator. When you are solely responsible for both, you would be called an independent animator, or in the film industry, you'd be a director or producer of animated films. This path is also common in creating content for video games, where you might be called a game designer.
