They either volunteer to do motion capture (where the computer
transfers a real person's motions into computerized motion), or
they become animators. Creating believable and interesting
motion for 3D characters is very difficult, and it's hard to
imagine a computer program doing a good job at that without some
human input, at least for the near and semi-near future.
