Animation Lessons from a DreamWorks Animator | What is Subtext?

[@SirWade]

This lesson is FULL of amazing tips, be sure to watch the whole thing and TAKE NOTES!! Let me know below what you thought of this episode! :)

[@KM07749]

Sir Wade Neistadt finally setting the excitement level again eh? 😄👌🏽💯

[@Jugem16]

Looking forward to it! :)

[@SJ3DANIMATOR]

Wow, he is JP Sans . Cant wait to see)

[@VinodPatel-tn1hf]

I was just thinking about this topic and saw this post . Feeling like god has started listening me 😇

[@SirWade]

Hey man! Totally! So glad you're enjoying the videos and thank you for sticking around :) Good questions in the live chat too!

[@jackie-tk9641]

Hearing him talk about Larrikins/Bilby made me so sad. He sounded so happy and proud to show/talk about this hard-working project to the world. Especially after YEARS of working on projects that were never seen by the world. He seemed confident that this one was it! That this Australian Animated Musical will be released! Only to have Larrikins/Bilby shelved some time after this current animation lesson was filmed. I really, really hope that it wasn't canceled completely. That it was just shelved and could be picked up later - hopefully soon. I know thousands of people, including me, wanted to watch a full film in such a setting/theme. Larrikins/Bilby looked so beautiful and very well animated so I have hope for it despite it being 4yrs since we've had any real info about it.

[@JustZino]

I learn more from this channel than my university of animation

[@klarnorbert]

Should've saved your money for online schools, like AnimSchool.

[@TheGamingWebster]

legit

[@carlyjae7385]

Same

[@locallylocal]

4 years down the drain, too bad the student loan didn't get flushed down with it.

[@cloudshifter]

@@locallylocal Yeah student loan is a big scam so you can owe them for years. Suprisingly it's actually wiser to get a job for a year or 2 to pay for the school yourself.

[@kenkioqqo]

I love this episode. It's amazing that I can freely get these kinds of insider tips from an animator who works in one of the world's best animations studios. Just a decade ago, this was a privilege only available to a smaller percentage of the world's population.

[@SirWade]

:)

[@NevoAlmighty]

We need a 3hrs long video with more tips from JP, and he surely seems to enjoy helping others! Thanks for this great vid good sir Wade

[@francis_0077]

OMG THIS VIDEO IS GOLD

[@changleon7441]

Please, get out.

[@Liner1]

24:02 "Most of you probably already knew this" Are you kidding ? This is one of the best tips there is for shooting reference !

[@gauravjitsinghvirk7884]

God, this was so interesting. The interview felt very natural, thanks for not editing those little parts that are normally get cut. Learned a lot from it. P.S He's awesome.

[@ItsNuree]

I agree!

[@ehabcharek]

this guy is awesome! never stop talking, you're great at it

[@queenQueso1]

That tip about collaborating and growing a thicker skin is so true! When I first started, I was so reluctant to getting feedback because I would get very protective of my work but since I have had many people telling this advice and I see how my animator mates were improving because of this, I decided to open myself to it and now I have learned to take it as I should, like a way to improve and see what other people think works and doesn't work. It has helped me a bunch!

[@Medusa_2000]

i really can listen to him for a whole day he is amazing

[@TalMinks]

That’s a great thumbnail. Excited to hear the tips and tricks.

[@SirWade]

Hope you got a lot out of it :)

[@TalMinks]

Definitely. Some stuff I’ve never heard before. Thank you for doing these interviews. Helpful and inspiring.

[@nomadiccoyote]

Love how passionate he is about his job, it felt infectious! Thank you for a wonderful interview :)

[@icecreamhero2375]

Emotion is my favorite part of animation it's more important to me than smoothness.

[@Matt-fm1wo]

This was a FANTASTIC discussion. Thank you so much for this. I would love to see more like this :) I find it funny how he apologized for talking too much, when I was like, no, no! Talk MORE! Tell me ALL the things!

[@Danny.B.M]

Hahaha same here xD I wa shoping he kept talking and explaining more

[@ibragimbotashev7572]

I studied at JP's course 2 years ago. He is so talented teacher, I've learned a lot! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@juanmonge5937]

Where can I find hiw course?

[@fdlarts7676]

My brain is like a sponge rn, can listen to JP talk about animation forever. Thank you for the interview!

[@pixelputty]

Amazing interview and extremely helpful! I could watch 3 more hours of him giving tips!

[@CharacterDesign360]

This was so helpful for me. He said he was talking too much but I didn't want him to stop! I loved the way he broke down the subtext behind a characters movement and how it reveals feelings and character. Thanks again for another amazing interview!

[@emilianomoron2567]

Seeing another animator from Venezuela too makes my heart warm, now I have someone to aspire to in my career, and his advice was great!!

[@crystalmae2250]

Omg, I loved the bilby short video so much, it should turn into a movie.

[@emilchristenson3125]

This was amazing! So much better than i thought it would be! Thank you!

[@elysegymer9880]

This video was incredible, definitely going to reference this before the next shot i tackle in future! An amazing reminder!

[@Goltzer88]

Wade, thank you for all of these interview videos, they're invaluable.

[@feketelucka]

I study acting and lately I started being interested in animation. I can see there is so much of same rules and stuff how everything works. In this video it's like I'm listening to my acting professor.... Love it!

[@akashsingh9724]

This is the ultimate gem of us.Sir I can not afford animation mentor or anim school or any other online workshops.So this kind video really help me and my career.Thank you so much Sir. Really thank you so much for this amazing channel.

[@Jazzy4u1974]

Whatever he is saying in this clip, REALLY HELPS A LOT.

[@sajjadabouei6721]

[@motadaymane3262]

15:06 This shows how much educative animation can be in regards to acting

[@cameroncouto4858]

As an aspiring animator, I found this to be extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

[@sako7829]

JP is so awesome! ready to listen him infinitely ❤😌 And thank you Sir Wade for the content ❤

[@EndlessNova]

Thanks so much for this interview. This was great, man.

[@AsaTU]

I love this video, watched through it, probably will do it again! It was perfect, but JP needs to stop apologizing about talking for too long, it was really interesting to listen to him!

[@carlyjae7385]

This is one of the most helpful things I've ever seen. Amazing. Thank you so much for this.

[@shubhams12348]

SUPPERR AWESOME..!!! CAN YOU PLEASE BRING THIS GUY BACK..?????? Thank you so much Sir Wade for this. I can watch him infinitely.

[@paolaabril9250]

And now I saw, He just openned a world of possibilities and inspiration for me..cause i always struggle in finding ideas for acting that are not too obvios.. even if i think they are good.they are quite obvious..while i see others doing amazing acting choices.... So thanks a lot for sharing :D

[@ramyahegde]

His tips were amazing!! I would love to keep listening to him all day (although doesn't look like he's too comfortable with that :D )

[@JohnDoe-jl7kx]

Sorry for my English, i'm French but i gotta say : That was so interesting! I learnt so much, this is incredible how he can describe it with so much passion and all! I'm really amazed! Want him back on the channel some days! 😍 And to you Sir Wade, your channel is amazing, keep going and sharing with all people, this is really worth it! I subscribed to you a long time ago and I just noticed how many followers you had, and curiously i thought you were at, i don't know like 2 or 3 milions, so dude you really deserve to grow on KZbin, 'cause we're growing up with you! Thanks to be brave enough to share all these experiences with us, a lot of people would keep their knowledge for themselves and you don't, so thank you so much! It's really a pleasure to see someone as pationnate as you are 😊

[@Kayseurounet]

I'm not in animation at all, I'm more of a 2D guy who likes to learn more about visual art in general, but this video is an absolute gem. Thanks to both of you!

[@chucknorrisffs]

Super informative, thanks for the great content Wade..

[@flipletape9706]

Some of the best stuff you said were stuff you didn't even want to say hahah This is valuable stuff, if the host lets you, I say go for it as far as you can! I really think it's helping people a great deal! Thanks a lot :)

[@puntitosans1]

Wow! Just saw this! So proud of you! What a lesson!

[@Gavrev]

Wonderfully insightful. Thinking about what he was saying about cliche, I suspect a lot of dodging that is to have a good screenplay.

[@fennecfawx973]

JP was awesome here. Very great insight on subtext. :)

[@MDanimations44]

This has been fantastic to listen to, its full of great and amazing tips! ! I listened to it while animating :)

[@NoeliaEncarnacion]

This was awesome you should do premiers more often it was really fun talking everyone and sharing our interest also I you mentioned in the chat who would you interview next but I say definitely with out a doubt Shawn Kelly and Bobby Beck with how they created AM and stuff I'm sure they did interview a hundred times but it will still be cool or maybe even what they see in the future for AM and how they feel about the Animation Industry growing in numbers!! and what are they doing now

[@mandoville]

great video! so true about the theres a lot of great tips!

[@kendarr]

The best advice I've ever heard (sorry don't remember from where) is that, you're the artist, but everyone is a critique, you may not be a film maker but you can say a movie is bad, you may not not a game dev but you can say a game is bad because of this or that. Same goes for art, everyone is critique because art is feeling (obviously film and game are arts too, I'm just making an example). Don't just toss away criticism, it's the cheat to progress, take it from friends or other artists, it's gold

[@jagotato]

thank you for this...

[@zacharymann393]

This was really helpful

[@direktatorz]

I've been thinking about this method a lot, it's been really helping me to level up from animating drawings ---> animating characters. I wonder how it works if there's no dialogue though (just music) 🤔

[@nerd4922]

I cannot wait to be an animator:)

[@zoltanimations5948]

wow...brilliant!!!
