    1. Don't Wait, Just Start
    2. Don't Go Big at start
    3. Don't Be focused to a single Project but do that same project multiple times , repetition will make you Good in that field.

      @@Whyy_not_me Sorry about not writing in english, but you can transale my words: Creo que el tercer punto se trata de terminar los proyectos, de no esperar ser perfecto en cada uno de ellos, más bien de ser constante y TERMINAR cada uno de ellos, si pones demasiada energía en un solo proyecto, esperanzas y esfuerzos, te terminas decepcionando y no tendras energia para tus próximos proyectos.

    I'm 29 and I literally just tried animating for the first time ever, just to try it because I love to draw and I'm full of ideas. This is really helpful. I honestly thought it was going to be more of 'Make sure timing is right to sound' ' Make sure you're animating on the correct frame' things like that. This was just actual advice about projects in general and it really does feel good to hear. Thank you Kesh!
    PS your Starfish animation is just adorable

    Yes, absolutely agree..... tackle many much smaller projects and you'll get gradually better over time rather than taking on one huge project all at once.
    Awesome advice and it works well.
    That being said, I'm taking on a big Blender project right now and can'y wait to finish it and get it out of the way. lol

    This helps me a lot. I just started dedicating time to animating more than just little animated gifs, and just finished my first complete animation of an intro for a UA-cam channel. I am happy to say that, apart from adding sound, I have finished the actual animation, which is more than I’ve ever done when focusing on my big projects in mind. And now because of the trial and error that went into the intro project, I have that much more experience under my belt, when I tackle my bigger projects in mind.

    I recently started to make more and more animations. I want to make my own animated series based on my comic someday but, it’s going to be a LONG time from now. My record so far of making a small 10 second animation and lower is three hours. It usually takes me a day to complete about 10 seconds or lower.

    Thanks for the video! I began to animate like a year ago, after couple of months I gave up on it and didn't make remarkable progress. When I returned I started dreaming big and it felt really overwhelming, like I had to prove something to myself, this made me rush things and cut corners, or give up when task grew too enormous.
    It is really motivating to see that big animators went through similiar process and succeeded eventually. I wish you all the best and keep up the good work! :3

    Bro this is exactly what is happening with me right now, when I was little I read the story "THE LAST LEAF" and even as immature kid my brain was able to understand the story and I loved it. Then I decided that if I ever make animation I'm gonna make a short film about the story and that's where the problem comes, I'm dreaming big at the starting, instead of practicing little things , I'm going straight for the mount Everest.
    After watching this I've decided I'm gonna make the film in stickman version and later I'll do the upgraded version when I become much more experienced.

    Kids, listen to this man. He knows what he is talking about. Tried getting an animation job. Tried 26 second animations for my reel and they came out bad, they sucked. Now my shorter animations inform my longer ones. The practice and failure on a 5 second shot is better for your mental health than a longer shot failing.
    Tried making my game without smaller projects under my belt, it's tough and so full of learning pot holes that my motivation is struggling to keep me going.
    With the creative field I think, start small. Many different small projects. Then that big project won't be a storm of learning setbacks and shitty results

    Very well said! I've experienced the same cycles of highs and lows when it comes to the creative process. Our minds see wonderful stories but our capacity to make them visible to others is way more difficult than it seems. I do see growth in my capacity to think and understand abstract concepts. It's hard to be a creative person but it can be wonderful too.

  • @hewhointheearthlydomainsee1272

    The problem is when you run into a roadblock and have to retreat to regain your faculties. When you have the game plan down, the work is faster. Then its just doing work and balancing it with the stress management techniques like going outside, taking a walk, drinking dark chocolate, eating balanced meals, drinking water, combo tea/coffee, taking naps. When the mind is chill, its possible to learn and do stuff. I think if I at least have all the information in my head, all the pieces, there is at least a chance to devise a plan that works.
    I still need to learn how to work with and use others in a project. Definitely a combination of investigation and meditation, and trying it out.

    I really struggle with not going too big on projects, and it makes me fall back from the weight of the project and then I get nothing at all done. My ideas are always far too big and complicated, and I don't know how to slow myself down

      Thats Understandable. Try doing a couple of 5hr projects, where you start and finish things in that time. Helped me :)
