In three years, I went from having absolutely no experience in 3D Animation to working at DreamWorks Animation Studios teaching just about all of the 3D software used to make movies! After 2 years there, I left to try freelance / independent content creation on RU-vid for awhile, before I head back to Feature Film!
This is my journey- the entire process from when I decided I wanted to be an animator until I eventually get there, and everything along the way that will make it possible.
Whether you're chasing a similar dream, or just interested to see where mine takes me, subscribe to follow along with the incredible journey that it takes to become an animator!
You will not be disappointed.
Keep up with the action and connect with me on social!

@veronicaplante2332 5 лет назад

I can't agree with the frame-by-frame tip enough. I work for a page called Frame by Frame Animation that takes animated and live action clips and breaks them down/annotates them for animation reference. One of my jobs is to breakdown those clips, so I'm pretty much doing studies of animated or live action reference every day. It's been SO helpful. There's no better way to learn animation than by seeing what the masters do.

Love these tips. Sometimes animation can be so intimidating, but I appreciate how positive your approach to the process is. So many of artist's problems are psychological rather than technical. Just getting started is the most important step.

Hi! First of all thanks for all your help and great info. I have a random question but I didnt know where to ask it. So you are from AM, but what do you think of Animschool? Do you know people that studied there and are working at big studios? Because I've seen that most of the professionals comes from AM but I see the showcases of the students and Animschool wins everytime in 3D character (human)animation. SO I want to hear your opinion. Thanks

Thanks a lot for your tips, I have a question is it right that when i make a reference i have to copy it to my animation like auto scoping and dont change poses just copy it like the reference, another thing someone told me that i have to copy poses every 8 frames in first blocking pass, is that right or i have to block it by understanding and analyzing the reference ?

@StillaliveShameWing 5 лет назад

I have to work alot this summer but I really want to take a maya course this summer with a course credit... have any good recommendations? I have also been making vlogs instead of just 3d ^^ makes it just more special for when I pist 3d :D and plus doing the same thing constantly can get boring so I do 2d, vlogs, random stuff, memes aaand 3d ^^

@SirWade 5 лет назад

I'd say to ignore the course credit and just find great classes and workshops! The best stuff isn't linked to universities or course credit- like the AnimC EPIC, 1-on-1 mentorships, or even my Maya classes as examples :)

@tasteofhey1538 5 лет назад

do you recommend using a wacom tablet for 3d animation in maya?

@adibcherit4729 5 лет назад

Hello! I personally think it depends on your preferences. I sometimes think that using a wacom tablet in any software kinda feels smoother than a mouse. But sometimes for really specific movements, parts of modeling, or anything that requires precision I'd use a mouse. But that's just me haha, play a little with the wacom on Maya and see how you feel. :)

@SirWade 5 лет назад

I use one :) But yeah try it and see if you like it

@ryarod 4 года назад

In the off-chance anyone's looking, I hope nobody minds if I speak my mind, speaking of how to improve animation. I draw and animate with a skill that makes old Newgrounds animations look like Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. I've been in a catch-22 whereby my art and animation's not good enough to impress anyone into providing tips for improvement. I want to improve myself, and I like thing I marginally am; however, in order to really get better, I need peer review. I realize this might seem petty, but: in the off-chance anyone sees this, if you'd be willing to review any of my little animations- even just one, and even if it's one of my older/est ones- you would have my immense gratitude. From one artist to another.
