The acting portion showing what to do and what not to do! Being amazing at your arcs, timing, spacing etc is nothing if your character's acting is bad.
Thank you for sharing your experience. it was awesome! i really liked the workflow subject about how the mentor workout on his shot so quickly and that too with quality in it.
I participated in something similar in October last year. It was AMAZING! :D Great summary, thanks for that. My problem is still that I'm annoyed every time I open the program because I have to reactivate my hotkeys and my workspace. So I would be very interested in a video about how to set up Maya for Animation properly. :)
Hi sir wade! I just want to thank you so much!!! I've been watching your videos as a teenager and they've inspired me to pursue my dream! I just finished my first week of University, learning 3D Animation! :) - Abby
Really good info. And thank you for time and sharing knowledge. I have a request if you could make a detailed video on frame rates for animation, live action and vfx. like how stuff looks in different frame rates and why? and anything else relating to this topic will be super useful. Thanks in advance. :)
Hey Sir, I have a question bout the video you've posted some time ago (animating with IK FK). I know how to create a switcher for IK/FK (for legs tho), but I have no idea how to make it snap poses from one system to another. Can't find it anywhere. It would be awesome if you'd have a second to answer this question some day, because I'm dying to use it in my rig. And thank you for your videos, they helped me a lot already! Keep up the good work and good luck with the channel and career!
Can review Blender? You know after you play around with it for a while. They do have cool demos, like Agent 327: operation barbershop. I would love to see a review from a professional.
Hey great video! I'm all the way from London and it's very tempting to do a trip to Emeryville just for this! Wanted to ask you if you've tried the layered workflow Michal uses? I've only read about it but I'm very tempted to try it, there's not much on it I can find online but I think I know roughly how to do it...
I tried it for a walk cycle and it was WAY faster that what I would've done!! But I haven't yet tried it for myself on a real shot. I want to though! And the class is definitely worth the trip in my opinion. I'll be interviewing him soon, and if you have questions for him I'm going to be pulling audience questions from my Patreon audience :)
What courses did you take there? I’m planning on starting AM this fall and I’m just curious to know what class you took at AnimC because I’m not sure what I want to do after I finish up at AM.
WhoisSweet peek at my 10-day animation workshop video; it goes into the summer version in a lot more detail about the actual animation tips and lessons that get talked about, in case it’s helpful :)
Sir Wade Neistadt I’ll be sure to check it out, you have a lot of content so I’ve been playing your videos in the background while I work trying to absorb as much info as I can. Thanks for your work and I’ll be sure to do some more research before I ask any questions 😅
helllo Sir Wade Neistadt, First, thank you for sharing your experience and giving interviews with others great animator, it's just priceless. I'm from France, already working in the industry, and the description you gave sounds very exciting ( just by being able to have instant feedback, seeing in real time how instructors works and so on...). I'm always ready to improve myself in any way but speaking about money, it's a very big investment. When it comes to "The Animation Collaborative", I went through there web site to check out the seven days Intensives Masterclasses. When you get on the first page....I've been surprise/ ( if not in shock ) about the photo and how many people were sitting there ! I know you said there was about 26...27 students when you were there, do you know if it's still the case ? Because has the photo in there web site is showing up, I wonder if you don't loose this kind "interactivity" you where describing ? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Quick question: Is knowledge of a particular program necessary when looking for animation work? Or will a firm understanding of animation showcased is lineart be enough? In other words: is 3d a necessary skill or can it be learned on the job?
If you don't know 3D, but are going for a 3D animation job, they aren't going to hire you when they can hire people who already know it. You don't necessarily always need to know a certain software, but you need to show that you can do the work otherwise there's no way for them to have the needed confidence that you'll be a good choice.
So many people seemed to like hearing about my experience going to Animation Mentor, I figured I'd talk about a more recent learning experience that I was super stoked about, and had wondered about myself for years. Especially since so many people ask me about different programs to learn animation, I thought it would be valuable to anyone looking for more places to learn :) It wasn't meant to be advert-y, but I did want to tell everyone about it since I've been really excited about it :D
Depends on what you need! Both are great; AM is a bigger, more community focused experience with their rigs, lecture videos plus mentor time, and resources. AnimC is smaller, more focused on the instruction with your mentors Short answer, both :P
This is a great video I do hope to fly over there one day after AM and take the course It seems you got a whole lot out of it and for me watching someone animate right there sounds amazing I would love to see how they tackle things especially in the Graph Editor since I'm still not very used to it. right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get my animation into a really polished state but it looks horrible to me lol XD but I guess from what I want to learn more is how they tackled animation in the graph editor what was there method or workflow in the graph editor heck that whole class you said about the graph editor would be perfect. but awesome video can't wait to see your next one.
May I ask, do you have an email? I have a question about the Animation Mentor program.. It seems very interesting and I would love to learn there, but I have some questions about the courses structure... Could I write you on your business mail? Thanks so much!
You should contact the school! They have a great team, super friendly and helpful and they'd know more than I do about how everything works these days :)
Man... I live in Taiwan and after I watching this video make me look up on selling my shit to get the mony. Then take a flight to you there to participate these gooooood stuff.
All great and all but for someone like me whos studying at college, being able to pay 2k for a single class is almost impossible. Am a student that has bills to pay, while study full-time.
Totally understand, though depending on the type of college or program, these types of specialized schools or animation programs are often a much better investment than regular school. Something to consider when budgeting out each year of tuition, especially if student loans and college debt come into the picture at all
@@SirWade Am not sure how it is in US, as I live in UK, but here everyone has 4 years of free higher education. Meaning that the Government pays for your College or University fees. But after the 4 years, if you are still learning you have to pay for it from your own pocket. You are still entitled to student loans and other benefits but those you have to pay back. Me for example, no way I would ever be able to afford higher education if I had to pay it from my own pocket.
Of all the topics I mentioned from the AnimC Epic Intensive, what sounds the most interesting to you?? :)
The acting portion showing what to do and what not to do! Being amazing at your arcs, timing, spacing etc is nothing if your character's acting is bad.
Animating for a live action environment sounds really interesting to me right now. All of them sounded great, but that one in particular.
Thank you for sharing your experience. it was awesome! i really liked the workflow subject about how the mentor workout on his shot so quickly and that too with quality in it.
Animation🙈
hands down for ANIMC. Its the best education experience i have ever got better than a university. MIke's level of animation is beyond this universe.
Sounds like the dream. Really happy for you that you were able to go and got a lot out of it ^_^
man love your videos, specially the interviews... keeps me motivated to animate personal stuff even after animating all day long at work
The Animation Collaborative actually sounds like an amazing experience
Sir Wade I hope that fiery passion keeps on burning for you! Working on animation can be so frustrating at times!
Yay!!
Lets Go.. 😄😄
I'm Excited to Learn😆
Yes Lets do It..

So glad to be able to help!! Thank you for watching :)
Always love your stuff. Good info, keep it going, dude!
Thanks man!!! :D
I remember when he only had 2k subs :(. They grow up so fast D:!
Hahaha I love this!!
Thank-you so much for the precious information.
Really good info. And thank you for time and sharing knowledge.

Great stuff, brotha! Definitely going to show this to Joey.
If they have one during the summer I'm definitely signing up!
sounds amazing, makes me sad that we don't have this in Europe (at least never heard of it) cause I don't feel like travelling to the US for it

I have a question sir.. Who was the first person have the main story idea of the How to train your dragon movies.. Is it dean deblois ?
Cressida Cowell wrote the original books
him and sean kelly came through vancouver last year for 3 days, its was great
Can review Blender? You know after you play around with it for a while. They do have cool demos, like Agent 327: operation barbershop. I would love to see a review from a professional.
Can you do a video on resizing a rig in maya? I’m having a problem scaling the rig down to size. Also, maybe a video on downloading a rig on apple?
Hey great video! I'm all the way from London and it's very tempting to do a trip to Emeryville just for this! Wanted to ask you if you've tried the layered workflow Michal uses?

Didn’t you watch the video? I talked all about the class I took
Sir Wade Neistadt I did, I wasn’t fully focused throughout the video so I missed the part when you brought up the winter epic intensive, my bad!
WhoisSweet peek at my 10-day animation workshop video; it goes into the summer version in a lot more detail about the actual animation tips and lessons that get talked about, in case it’s helpful :)

is there a online school that u dont have to be older than 18 to enter

This felt more like an advert then like your normal videos.

@@SirWade good point.
Yo so impressive
Hey, does anybody remember what was the price of this 7 days event?
Hi SW, Animc vs animation mentor? if you had to start over wich one would you pic?
Depends on what you need! Both are great; AM is a bigger, more community focused experience with their rigs, lecture videos plus mentor time, and resources. AnimC is smaller, more focused on the instruction with your mentors
Short answer, both :P

This makes me want to do my next graph editor workflow video!! Haha, I totally understand what you mean though!

There were like 4 people in my class from Taiwan actually! There were a bunch of international students haha
@@SirWade wow cool
@@SirWade This fantastic thing just pop into my life.
I keep it in mind and definitely go for it in person after my mega exam in the future.
Its looks great. How to participate for foreigners?? (outside USA)
You just sign up like normal! (You'll have to book a flight and a place to stay and whatnot but there's nothing too crazy to worry about :)
@@SirWade thx a lot!
nice
