Animation Advice from Legendary Artists

[@SirWade]

Which artist tip was YOUR favorite?? And what should we do next with Adobe Character Animator? :)

[@SJ3DANIMATOR]

Sir Wade Neistadt all tips was great and true. For me , Floyd Norman and Tim Ingersoll tips are favorite. But when I saw Michal Makarewicz, I waited advice from him too). So this is very good video for another artists. Thank you for this video!!

[@salmanmurtaza1635]

I never saw an animator put so much reality in the body language of a character than james baxter. But you gonna be talking about character animator I thing his over all guideline will be enough :) I think he deserves for an interview more than anybody else because you interview so many people and so many talented people but nothing was genuine like James Baxter :')

[@NoeliaEncarnacion]

Coty hands down but really they were all really great tips

[@shwetallautre4169]

Thank you for the Video! Each and every tip was Great,James Baxter and Floyed Norman Tips are my favourite. Also Jp sens Tip "Hardwork Beats Talent,When Talent fails to work Hard".

[@rapidicjr2556]

James Baxter! But everyone else gave a good advice too :)

[@HTGBrt]

"Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard" I love this quote

I started following Sir Wade since his experience video in Animation Mentor, and because of his excellent collection of tips and advices I've got a successful admission in Ringling College of Arts. Can't wait to see what's next for my Animation career. Thanks a ton! 🙈

[@SirWade]

Congrats!! That's awesome! I can't wait to find out too :D

[@MrMikeChucky]

This is incredible! I liked Pierre Perifel and Shawn Kelly's tips the most. I think everyone rushes to be a Dreamworks or Pixar animator but there is so much more out there in the world to explore. And by failing on animation shots , it helps you improve so much and to eventually reach that high end level or goal that you want to reach. Great Video Wade. I hope to be at CTN next year as I'm moving to Canada from the UK soon so i'll be a bit closer :)

[@fitnesslivingway2273]

Coty Reinhart seemed to be fooling around, but his advise made the most sense. like, that is something that relates to me a lot. He just save me that stress of spending too much time on the Graph Editor.

[@j.dreamer610]

From time to time I would always find myself going back to this video for my source of encouragement. Lately, I have been feeling rather discouraged about whether or not I should still continue to pursue animation as a career. Had some bad experience of people telling me I can't animate. But I really dont want that to stop me. Thank you Sir Wade for posting this!

OH MY GOD WHY DID YOU UPLOAD IT JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO SLEEP. If i watch it now or not, either way i wont be able to sleep tonight ;-;

[@leonlamparski]

Man, i must to say, this video was the best tips for everyone, for those people like me that we can't go for this kind amazing events, it's was awesome, thanks for sharing us the animator's world, thanks for be generous, the universe it'll back to you all that stuff that you give. Believe me. thanks for taking your time, editting, and that's all kind things envolved it that it's not easy to do, it means compassion to the humanity. first you are good people and of course good animator. Well Sr. i hope to meet you some day. thanks again.

[@salmanmurtaza1635]

There is no such thing more incredible :') than watching James Baxter in this video, he is an Animator who worked on Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron we can learn a lot from him by simply watching the spirit animation but it will be more like a dream come true when you seek his character animation tips because in this regard no one can be compared to him.

[@salmanmurtaza1635]

as a muslim I worship only my God, RIGHT!!! and I no need to consider your crippled advice to look up 9 old men because the thing I was looking for I found in James Baxter. One more thing to keep in mind is that animations is also about weight shifting, balancing, body language and squash and stretch.

[@CookieFridays]

@Keep Rocking! I assure you that they must've squashed the stretched. Maybe not in a rubbery, elastic way, but a mechanical "up and down" for sure, which is squash and stretch.

[@mofooshah6252]

IF WISH I COULD BE THERE ONCE IN MY LIFE :'( AMAZING PEOPLE THANKYOU SIR WADE :)

[@harveynewman]

@Keep Rocking! Keep Rocking...Keep Rocking!!! :) So true!

[@James-pb8xu]

@Keep Rocking! 9 months late, but it's not the skin. It's finding someone relatable. It's culture and finding someone who looks like you be successful.

[@James-pb8xu]

@Keep Rocking! "by your reasoning everyone that looks like Bill Gates should be a billionaire" You must be talking to someone else because that's not my reasoning at all lol. It's almost like seeing family make it when you see someone that looks like you really accomplish something. Maybe they don't have the same culture, but the likelihood of finding a similar background is much much higher than what's the regular.

[@James-pb8xu]

@Keep Rocking! you too.

Hey Sir Wade, thanks for the great interviews. You know when Cory Reinhart said to have your blocking at least on 4s, that mean your blocking poses are held for 4frames right? Was not too sure if thats what he meant. Thanks again for the video, some killer tips there. :-)

[@NoeliaEncarnacion]

@@aleph-tav I still like to defer I met tons of people how are in their 50's or 60's starting their career in animation because They found that this is what they wanted to do (not saying that you are that old because I don't know your age) but if you feel deep down that this is your passion age shouldn't hold you back. learn, fail, just try it and see where it takes you. There is no age restriction to being an animator there's no rule that says I have to be the age between 20-30 to be in this industry. Just do it!!!
