Studio Disasters

The studios are filled with amazing people that I have extraordinary admiration for! But making animated movies is unbelievably hard... A report on the trials and tribulations of an animation artist coming up in the trenches. My full resources and online courses can be found here: www.schoolism....

Tip for young players - always get big changes like this in writing, whether from the supervisor directly or a producer. These days everything is tracked digitally and this should have been picked up in dailies, hard to believe it wasn't.

Definitely heard some stories likes this, where a department head, order a change against the original idea of an art director, while not communicating and down the line blame the artist for doing so, instead of owning it. Thankfully that person left. _ (The plant looks like a painting)

Thank you, Nathan. I needed to hear this :)

I know you cover some of this in your color and light workout series as you mentioned in the video but have you considered doing a full course covering traditional production ready background art like you did on El Dorado? Painting this way in acrylic or gouache seems to be a dead skill and it would be such a fantastic companion piece to your Landscape in Watercolor and Gouache course/book.

Hello Nathan. Thank you so much for this video. Always appreciate your posts. The plant that you showed is a bit blurred but I think it maybe the Golden pothos/ Devil's ivy a epipremnum aureum species. Or it could be the Heartleaf phiodendrom. Not sure with of this two.

I'd like to thank you from your book about Landscape in watercolor. It's really great and would recommend it to anyone!

Hi, Nathan. I'm your fan. :) I love Prince of Egypt. Please, tell us more stories like this. I want to know more about the process and industry.

@@nfowkesart ahh shoot, I was so certain with the red-green gradient in the peristome... So it must be either edwardsiana or villosa..
