Hi! I use to work as a character and VFX animator but in current scenario (WGA strike and all...) got laid off and trying my way out into gaming industry as an animator. I'm learning Motion builder and Unreal Engine (Blueprint and stuffs...) from online tutorials. Now I'm a bit confused about what to show in my demoreel? Do I need to learn keyframe animation in motion builder? Or is it just existing motion capture data cleanup and implementation? There are very less tutorial on how to do complete key-frame animation in motion builder. Just saw your demoreel and its amazing as you've described that the entire animation is keyframe animation in motion builder. Can you please guide me on that? Thank you!
Hey, what is the best skill to work on or starting with, to be a technical animation artist, or lead ?? tell us your story from the beginning, have you start with Brassart school or something like this, or you've learn everything by yourself (semi-joke) ? and Unreal was a complete part of your instruction school? etc.. thank and take care
@@donpreclone1960 Gameplay animation isn't pure art. While I won't be focusing on pure tech anim topics such as rigging and physics, a huge chunk will be how to work with state machines, create and debug anim systems, and more.
Today I wanted to cover job interviews. I know this can be a pretty stressful moment to some, but if you come prepared and feel 100% confident you'll nail yours, you've done a huge part. Hopefully these tips will help you do just this.
So great to see content like this targeted specifically towards gameplay animation. There's not enough of it out there. Great stuff Matt :) Looking forward to seeing more.
haha, love the comment about the tie at the very end! very helpful video, thanks Matt

Almost some good specialized stuff about gameplay animation. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for your comment! That channel is all about gameplay animation, so it's safe to say you can stick around!
@@MattCourtoisAnim Wonderfull. Are You going to show also some technical animation stuff? Or it will be pure art channel?
