Great video, Buzzfeed. Please bring more light to people behind the scenes of animation industries! I can relate so much to this because I am a part of an anime studio and I have been involved in animating in-betweens for animes like Attack on Titan, Pokemon and other major titles that people might have heard of. There is something rewarding seeing your drawn frames come to life. However I also envision a studio of my own. Gaining experiences and seeing how an animation studio have certainly helped me to visualize the dream.
Rai Durahim That’s amazing! I’m going to study animation at university at the end of this year - do you have any tips on how to get/be prepared for the workload and challenges ahead? Xx
@@Raine_Raine not to discredit her, but she has much less experience than he does. Gender aside, the guy has been in the industry for a long time, whereas she hasn't.
@@zaingova9140 i know that, and i understand it. But he showed his talents, from how long his been there. She hasn't yet, at least not ALL of it, she also deserves (as do the male) to show off their talent and show what they can do.
My beginnings as an artist were just like them: creating from a young age. I wanted to be an animator up until high school but did not end up furthering my education in art because my mom hated the idea and refused to send me to art school. I couldn't afford school on my own, so I had to give up my dream. It worked out in the end, though. I still love drawing, but I've found my true calling is in education. :) for all of you aspiring animators: KEEP GOING!
I have a deep passion for art and animation, always have since i was little. A while ago I kinda gave up on pursuing it as a job because I grew up with a family that somewhat discouraged an artistic job choice because of the chances of success and employment in such a medium. But, Into The Spiderverse actually recaptured this essence in me. While i am in college, as a hobby I want to study and even create my own animations. Thank you for this video!
so this dude single-handedly animated every woman cartoon I've ever been attracted to you since I was like 8! Freaking Meg, Jane and the lady from Atlantis are you kidding me?!? Praize
We’re all here because what they’re doing is what we want to do, or wanted to do and no one really encouraged us to go for our dreams. As sad as that is we can not let other people’s fear of the unknown stop us from a beautiful, growing, always improving industry!! I hope we all make it in some shape or form, so we can have something we proudly write home about later in life. 😌❤
I worked with Ken Duncan when he was at Disney. He’s a brilliant animator, an excellent draftsman and a fine human being. His Duncan Studios does top notch work. Stephanie mentioned David Pruiksma as her professor and mentor. He’s another excellent animator and Disney veteran and wonderful instructor. I’m a Disney veteran and currently teach at LCAD where Stephanie studied. Currently most of my students are NOT males (though many are). The industry has been changing and is showing much diversity in animators. It’s about time.
"Animation as an industry, you never quite feel like you make it because there's always something new and challenging right around the corner." < --- almost any job BUT that's a good thing. If it's not a challenge - you'll never grow
its been a goal of mine to work as an artist under Disney or Dreamworks since I was little, but I've been so discouraged and telling myself I'm not going to be that good of an artist to make it to such huge companies, despite studying it in college and doing great according to my professors. this video as well as videos from Laura price have been so inspirational and motivating for me to chase after my dreams until I catch them
This probably will be buried and unseen, but it would be interesting to see Disney animators or any veteran animators in the industry react to Warrior Cat MAPs. I've heard that some people believe that 2d animation isn't as popular as 3d animation any more and that people don't want to spend time on it as much. I would love to see how they'd react to the amazing animations that people from all around the world come together and produce for free. There are some amazing animators out there and it would be amazing to see a veteran animator give their feedback on the community.
I just started thinking about being a animator. I just started drawing for the first time in years. But I love the medium, and love creating things other people enjoy. I want to know if animators can start from scratch in there twenties.
I'm 17 as of writing this, and I want to be a cartoonist. (Maybe, I'll try my hand once I can improve my art though). I suppose it's possible, as nothing's impossible unless we really want to pursue that thing. Good luck to you all guys, it'll be a long road, but I know we'll make it there.
My son who has a hard time focusing at times started drawing and doing comics and animation around 7. He can sit completely focused drawing for 6 or more hours at a time. He says he wants to be an animator but I honestly have no idea how to direct him in the right direction. This was a great video
Animations is what got me to draw at age 6 six and now I’m practicing poses and structure for characters that I imagined to further improve my skills and learn more about animation
Ohhh the land before time 🥰🥰🥰 I’m gonna cry 😢 that was one of my favs when I was younger Awwwww and he did all of those things like Jane 😁🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 awww I’m gonna cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyand I don’t know whyyyyyyyyyy
Did you get a mentor? I'm currently an animation student but I don't have a mentor or even thought of getting one before. I'm not sure how that would work. Let me know!
@@Divio18 I always go to my animation professors since they have been really good mentors to me all throughout my stay at uni. Our professors are definitely going to be our first mentors so its best that you try and get to know them well.
When I was 5 my inspiration to draw increased then my 2d career went nice...then when I was 12 iam in to 3d digital things ....now iam 15 ... Welp..I hope i will become animator
Eugene’s. Video. Was. AMAZING! Breaking the walls and coming out in such an artful and beautiful way! It fills me with hope and joy! Watches this video and realizes that there is a chance I might be ostracized in the animation industry for being a woman... (cough cough* I’m going to art school for animation...) These problems are never fixed... 50 years later it is still a problem 😑
Everyone started drawing since like 5/6 and it makes me feel shiet man, i drew here and there but being 20 and like not being able to draw amazingly makes me feel like i wont be able to be animator :c
“I read about a guy called walt Disney” Walt Disney was a huge deal before he was even born Snow White came out in the 30s and was a massive hit world wide and he’s trying to say he didn’t know about him until he read a book about him
@@kevinzhang6623 That was four years ago haha. I still have a hidden desire for animation but reality has hit and I will probably pursue a career in architecture.
@@laurahauschildt1708 oh! Haha thanks! I wasn't able to watch it when it came out I was too busy with college so I thought it was a remake... (I'm studying Animation which is why I watched this video! XD)
if you want to animate traditionally you could always get a pencil and paper. but programs to do it digitally could be (free programs) firealpaca, opentoonz, pencil 2D or (paid programs) toon boom and adobe animate,. Mobile apps could be flipaclip and roughanimator. To get into 3d animating i recommend SFM to begin with. for the basics there are tons of free tutorials and books such as "the animator's survival guide".
@@slppy6320 I'd say to study the principles a lot! You can look up the 12 animation principles and go from there. Don't aim too high at first, don't try to do a complete character animation right when you start, it'll be discouraging. You should try mastering the bouncing ball exercise before anything else :) I've actually graduated since and currently working on a movie and if I could give myself a tip when I was starting it's to do a lot of quick animation exercise just to get used to creating coherent and interesting movement. Once you master the bouncing ball you can try animating a bag a flour. It's very simple designs to help you focus on creating movement and personality and not trying to make a pretty character with complicated design, if that makes sense. And be patient with yourself, it's a very specific skill to master and it takes hours and hours, as long as you have fun with it that's what matters. There are lots of great animation channels that can help you get started like BaM animation or Toniko Pantoja :)
My mom sent this to me becues I'm 11 who really loves to draw and they say I'm really good so...... I want to be a dentist but they want me to do something important
