I think what you say is good,to live the moment ..but you have always to have a goal...because is what make you move and don´t fall sleep somewhere comfortable but where you are not happy or just you can´t grow up..,i began animation since 1998 and i think about myself as a student., i have a goal..the same as you had and i find myself closer.Is hard to reach and frustrating but never loose the faith..keep on learning keep on growing :) cheers!.
Hey, this is actually my first video from AnimDojo and I'm very impressed! I'm not an animator, but I'm interested in the art and I must say that this was a very honest and engaging clip so I hope you you keep up the good work!
I am a beginner And thinking for career in animation... And I was looking for character animation tips.... So I got both at same place... Your speech and video both worked for me... Thanks...
I just started animation for the first time ever in Garry's Mod. This was the first thing that I found when I searched animation timelapse. I highly enjoy animating even if it were a lot of work, and the end result looked like trash. This video is a really nice life lesson, and I enjoyed listening to your story. Subscribed. By the way, great animation in the bg! Reminds me of Tracer from Overwatch.
Can please make more of these. Learning, Animating will continue on its own pace but there is not much about how an artist feels its more relatable when an animator speaks. I dont have age to speak about this but am sure a lot of people whats to hear something like this. I miss watching these vlogs and maya disection. Animdojo have changed and evolved alot. All the Best
This was great Bader - super relatable. I definitely feel those kinds of pressures as a new animator trying to get into the industry, and your perspective on it and sharing your career journey was really soothing. I also liked how when you got to the realization part of doing the best you can in the present, instead of focusing all on the future, was also when you did the first playblast where the animation really started to come together and looked alive - great timing haha, very inspiring! I'd personally love to see more vlogs like this :D
holy crap, that was so helpfull for me as an junior animator without any knowledge i did get the job from small studio which in kazakhstan i'll do my best for become good animator and do the my best for industry it's all i can do, after school i decided to choose animation bc i can't do any other job for all that guys i hope and pray for us, thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for sharing. The internal battles can often be the most draining. I've been trying for a while to 'make it' to the next phase of my career and I find myself panicking about time slipping by me. Panic breeds anxiety, and that becomes detrimental overall. To hear your perspective as someone that in essence I look up to, is encouraging and warming and is an extremely human quality that is often absent when trying to engage with certain parts/people of the industry. Thank you.
Man i really appreciate your work and your words I have been through almost the same situation starting from working in job that u couldn't find your self in it again i appreciate every word you said and good luck the only thing i can do for you is thumbs up and subscribe. Thanks for sharing this
I like your video and I find it very inspiring, especially for the ones who are starting to work in this industry - like myself - and want to achieve lots of things that don't really matter in the end, except you being at peace with yourself. Sincerely, thank you!
Thank you so much! I listened to you holding my breath... It's so calming, really the words I longed to hear. Watching it over and over again, just can't help it.
great talk, great thought, great way of seeing things.. i don't know what i enjoyed much, talking or seeing what you have done on this video... cheers man.
It was so calming touched me keep on making more videos! I appreciate it I am a student of animation sometimes feel unsatisfied with my work while choosing for my reel. You are absolutely right. Thank you for the remarks
I skipped the video to the right moment. I will watch this video from the first next time. What you said, really hit me as an animation student. Thank you
I came to this video because I was looking tutorials, it was really interesting and useful seeing a timelapse too. Although I'm in the begining (I had finished my studies and I'm preparing my demoreel) I feel very identified with you, thanks you for telling us!! I liked this video so much
how about if your using a different program and actually want to learn to do the animation but cant because you literally have no idea what he is doing
that was really helpful mate..it made so much things clear and i totally can relate and feel every single thing about rush,reel,future,anxiety,pressure everything man..nice advice and experience you shared.Thanks again for sharing it and giving your time. PEACE !!
I can completely relate to this. Graduated with a bachelor's in VFX and have been trying to look for a job but no luck. I know what it is but just can come up with the right stuff.
I enjoyed every single minute of this video, because the complete beginning explained my life too. I am in some kinda same situation but I think in an worser situatation. I am unemployed now for 5 years. I have a wife and three children. I have no chance at the moment to go some other part of the world. No money to pay any course and the most of the free tutorials are not telling everything exactly. But I think also like you said I keep dreaming. I liked very the spiritual side of your life. I think the same. But after 5 years of keep moving/thinking forward without big progress I am at the very End of giving up. Because of the familiy. Because of the money. Because of the negative feelings. I appreciate my wifes endurance with me but it´s getting worse every single day. I tried different type of courses but none of them were like I want that they should be and I don´t really know if AnimDojo is there different like you said. If it brings big knowledge to me. And is it for me payable? I dont´t really know. Everybody says that their courses are the greatest one. Maybe you can answer me. But beyond all of that what I typed, I really really thank you for this video. It was really more interesting hearig what you have to say instead of watching another timelapse Video. Regards Gercek T.
thank you, really, this is a good career advice. I like what you said, to live in the moment, that is , we can not control anything but now. Thank you:)
I love this video as well I listened to this driving home late from crunching at work. I'm going to sub and check out more since this is my first video. I can also relate after working in games for more than at different studios. Now I'm trying to continue to push myself after long hours. Thanks
Your thought at the beginning are same as my thought I lost. My job due to panmdamic I realised am no good at animating am struggling to make a demo reel I want to rush . If feel am getting older and older my age never stops am scared for the future
Thanks for showing us your work. It's really cool seeing behind the scenes. I've always wondered. Now can you overlay something 2d, and animate under it as a guide? Do people do that?
Wow what a great video all around, made me think about my career and always wanting more and never really being happy. Im very lucky to be an animator for over 12 years now, its the best job i have ever had :) But as you said i need to live in the moment and enjoy the path laid out infront of me. Also loved the animation style very cool and interesting to you see you animate straight ahead :) Keep these video coming i will be on the lookout for more. Thank you so much for sharing
AnimDojo He too has influenced me very much and I can see that in your talk. It's really great. Now I'm wanting to be a member of animdojo and will do when I'll be able to. Thanks for sharing your story. Believe me it's more valuable than most things 😊
I think computers are nice but it does destroy allot of businesses everyone wants free entertainment including me we download movies games music programs things that take allot of effort to make I made my own flash anime back in 2006 I wanted to become a mangaka created a 7 min anime took 3 weeks to make after that I quit it was too much work. Now I produce music and artists think they are doing all the work and simply want a beat for free while I spend 25+ hours to make it. Now people just simply download
Maya crash hit him so hard he had to make an 18 minute video about frustration and expectations

Thank you! This is how the real teaching should be done...i am thankful for your genuine and sincere message.

hello I really like your work, but I would like to know the name of the tools you use to give life to the character thank you.
very nice
Thanks for showing us your work. It's really cool seeing behind the scenes. I've always wondered. Now can you overlay something 2d, and animate under it as a guide? Do people do that?
That maya crash made me die a little inside. Im glad nowa days theres things like anim bot to save your ass.

Holy mother of God, it took that much to make a girl wave and say hi
Animation is hard and takes a lot of determination and patience - kudos to all animators out there; both 2D and 3D.
Depends on the level of effort if you putting in a lot of effort then it can take very long but if you just want to make a meme it very quick 😉
Wow what a great video all around, made me think about my career and always wanting more and never really being happy. Im very lucky to be an animator for over 12 years now, its the best job i have ever had :) But as you said i need to live in the moment and enjoy the path laid out infront of me. Also loved the animation style very cool and interesting to you see you animate straight ahead :) Keep these video coming i will be on the lookout for more. Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for the nice feedback :) and definitely theres more coming
You know
is this rig free for educational use?
unfortunately no :(, but it does come with our training programme which is just £15 a month :)
Have you ever listened to Alan Watts ?
yes a huge fan :)
AnimDojo He too has influenced me very much and I can see that in your talk. It's really great. Now I'm wanting to be a member of animdojo and will do when I'll be able to. Thanks for sharing your story. Believe me it's more valuable than most things 😊
Maya crashing, its all too familiar :(
Life is about God the creator of the world the way he shines through is the fact that he made you everyone is searching look him up in the Bible
I think computers are nice but it does destroy allot of businesses everyone wants free entertainment including me we download movies games music programs things that take allot of effort to make I made my own flash anime back in 2006 I wanted to become a mangaka created a 7 min anime took 3 weeks to make after that I quit it was too much work.
Now I produce music and artists think they are doing all the work and simply want a beat for free while I spend 25+ hours to make it.
Now people just simply download
Maya is dying compared to blender and cinema 4d they make it much easier and faster without many crashes like Maya
WTF, ALL THAT WORK FOR 4 SECONDS OF A SIMPLE WAVE
Thank you
