    This is a very inspirational video lol. I’m glad you added that part after the industry rant that you’re still trying to get through the door just like us. Even if I never get through that door, it’s a passion of mine to atleast try.

    bRO THESE videos are so fucking funny and fun to watch, I honestly was gonna listen to them, but I have to wait until I'm back in front of the screen again before I watch them because your jokes and editing/drawings are so funny, and your genuinely just saying REAL SHIT.
    Like I seriously resonated with your speedrunning softwares video talking about tutorials, because I genuinely hate tutorials and haven't watched one in years because they are just SO HARD to follow for me at least.
    A lot of the time they move way too fast, and skip small details, so you don't do exactly what they are doing, and a lot of the time the footage isn't zoomed in, so you can't see everything they clicked on. Sometimes they'll click on something super quick and small, so you end up deviating because you missed a small detail, and you just can't follow it.
    Its so brain numbing to have to keep replaying to see what you missed.
    But I think I'm gonna give it a shot again, because in truth, I only know my software at a surface level, I just use the brush tool and the lasso tool and layers. I don't know all the time saving shortcuts and other tools. I really should learn, so I want to try so I can actually be good.

    Are you planning on continuing this series? I love this alot as someone who has a passion for creating when i was 6, especially animation. I 1st got exposed to this series with the 3rd, and i decided to watch all the parts. Your videos are really comforting and they tell someone who wants to get into animation a really nice story.
    I have been doing 3d animation for almost 3 years now, started when i was 12, had a 1 year hiatus due to my laptop imploding onto itself, came back to it as off last year August. I had to learn alot of the tips and challenges you mention on my own. I feel like to many, animation seemed like a loop of tediousness that wont stop, until you finished what you started a long time ago. But i think its just them not knowing the fundamentals of animation, if you just break it down, that task doesn't seem so impossible after all. But with anything that takes alot of determination and patience, comes discipline.. And everything cant be easy, but if that is enough to make someone reconsider. That is just beautiful

    Also have watched all of your videos on how to become an animator.
    Now i need to collect my thoughts and begin my own journey on what i ACTUALLY want to do. Learn to Animate like a studio level or like the pose to pose style in storytelling animation on YT or just a ball that bounces for my pleasure.
    Thanks a bunch man.

    Hola, gracias for your penetrating insights. Those are good references and some good exercises for animation practice you mentioned. Yeah, the looming AI revolution could signal the death knell for some jobs in the animation creation process, but it could also mean a whole new golden age of animation. Fresh unique animation, not the same old derivative commercial stuff, is good. Quirky and different is better than boilerplate. More exaggeration is better. I like to see and salute people flying their own little individual freak flags with their own unique flair. UA-cam is great to enjoy the variety of human animation expression! Whatever animation is used, the main thing is to tell a story. Tell that story your way, or, if you're working for someone, tell their story their way and just take the paycheck.
    I keep seeing all the work of all these fresh young folks, right out of animation school. So much talent out there! Like any career, I suppose you have to get out there and hustle and network to get gigs and jobs. Ugh. In my case, animation has become just a form of digital doodling with no expectation of any career success. Oh, I thought maybe someday of going on fivver and offering my hacky amateurish cartoon services, but there are so many really good real artists already doing that, and ultimately turning a hobby into "work' and a "job" just isn't appealing to me at all. Of course I live a life of ease and leisure so I don't have to worry about making money for food with animation. Wish you the best!

    I went to high school to learn informatics, the entire 4 years i was studying mostly algorithms and data structures and thinking "damn this is fucking useless". Fast forward 4 years, a month or two before the national standardized exam in my country (not the SAT, this ones dramatically harder), im watching some videos on game dev from a guy i enjoy- HEY I KNOW THAT I LEARNED IT ALL IN SCHOOL- YO WAIT THIS IS WHAT THATS FOR?! Watching more videos... turns out all that "boring shit" is probably the most useful things i was taught in school, which i dismissed for years thinking i dont need them.
    Copy pasting from google, gazing for hours on end at a library i cant make logic off. Making tiny tweaks over and over until my program actually works because i dont know what the fuck else to do... wait so why the fuck do i get depressed over not getting something right the first time or straight from imagination when it comes to art and animation?
    Its insane how in so many practically identical aspects of life we treat ourselves completely different. When programmers talk about learning programming they compare it to art, when artists talk about learning art they compare it to learning an instrument, and i wouldnt be surprised if musicians compare learning an instrument to art or riding a bike.
    Its all the same fucking shit which you learn in exactly the same fucking way.
    I think the difference is that all these have different levels of "abstraction" between input and output. Your input (action/practice) is significantly more abstract in some fields. Looking at yourself performing the activity or even at others its hard to tell what theyre doing differently, its a lot harder to see the hard earned experience and instead it mostly seems like "this person was born cracked".

      YES, the shit that seems most mundane and worthless will always be the stuff downline where youre like “oh wait nvm this shit is great”
      then you have to be the person you hated when you tell new blood the equivalent of “did you turn it on and off again? “

    i've been using the fighter's generation for like nigh on a decade now and I haven't once considered it for animation reference, it's such a good resource and I'm glad it's been kicking for as long as it has been. Thanks so much for this video. I stumbled upon your stuff because I hadn't animated in a while, I got kind of burnt out from trying to go into 'the industry' and i'm trying to recontextualize my relationship to animation in a way that i'm now enjoying it for my own sake rather than the approval of others. Thanks again. These are very important videos.

    and I wann learn them ALL .. and I found out that animation is the GOAT of all arts .. it's all the arts combined in one giant shit ass hard type of altimate art
    it's drawing painting music writing story telling acting sculptring film making dancing fighting lettarly living singing colouring and more it's EVERYTHINGGG
    and I love the idea of containing this magical super power of creating something with the use of ALL TYPES OF ART
