@Jérémie-Lecompte Salut Jérémie
On est juste à côté! Je viens de Montréal, mais en ce moment j'habite à Ottawa hihiTo work in the field of animation, even in a non-animation capacity, it really helps to have studied in it to know the process. Do you have any formal training? If not, you may want to consider a DEC in Dessin Animé at Cégep du Vieux Montréal. This is what I did and I can't say enough good things about that program and the teachers. I learned not only animation but character design, perspective and background design (through no less than 4 classes on the subject), visual development, storyboarding, all the softwares, etc. The school has an excellent reputation in the industry (for good reason) for producing extremely qualified artists ready for work, which makes it easier to find a job. I found a job 2 weeks after graduating
If schooling is not what you want or not an option right now, being in Gatineau you are quite close to a number of animation studios in Ottawa. I know Mercury Filmworks is hiring for various positions right now. You lose nothing by sending in an application and portfolio, and even if you're not ultimately hired you may be able to ask why you didn't make the cut and gain valuable insight. Also try Big Jump Entertainment, Pip animation, Jam Filled Entertainment and Snowed In Studios.
I hope that helped! Et bienvenue sur le forum

It is great to have more cold weather residents joining... and winter is starting. Pretty sure that is not a coincidence?

Welcome! @StudioLooong shared this vid about a visual development portfolio, it may serve as inspiration and a bit of a guide for what a portfolio like that requires: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78HmmR9Jvy4 Great vid.
