He really got to make an animation dream team

[@whatalsaid]

Spencer Wan's greatest achievement. Well, second greatest achievement. The first was Seltzer Avalanche

[@WithASideOfTibbs]

Poor, poor Jacob.

[@jpatel0398]

Kinda sucks that apparently animation studios don't get credit when they put out work like this, I'm glad Supergiant made sure to do that

[@devinspencer1678]

@Kev Walthall He was talking about when they work on trailers and such. Everything you named was the company's own project.

[@InitiaLeo]

@Kev Walthall you forgot Pierrot, Tatsunoko, Satelight, Shaft, Science Saru, Polygon Pictures, CloverWorks, Kinema Citrus, & Geno

[@omairalmulla2921]

client: Just make an animation studio lol spencer: ok

[@Jhakaro]

I remember seeing his sketchbook videos and I was like, this dude is so good. Been keeping an eye on his work ever since. Awesomely talented dude and his hard work has paid off.

I watched the Hades trailer a year ago because I was interested in the game, and it's so wild to come back to it now from a completely different side and for an entirely different reason. Thankful to Drawfee for introducing me to Spencer, gotta find more of his work (even though I've seen a lot of it without even realising)

[@ItsAnneHu]

4:37 it's so hard to hear that these animators don't get paid as much as they should. They all created masterpieces.

[@hyperfoxartist9]

i've been following Spencers progress since he was in college, and its amazing to see him work and grow as he's done. he keeps popping up in animated shows and i love it. looking forward to more amazing stuff over the coming years

[@MJ_Llama]

Learned about him through drawfee, and am still amazed by his abilities :)

[@LILDroidDEX]

Why is this not getting covered alot. I didn't know you could create your own studio so easily. This is Huge for future animators. Especially with Sony buying Crunchyroll more competition will be needed.

[@verskarton]

It’s easy to start a company. But remaining a company is the hard part.

[@SeekingElysium]

Just met him the other day by chance. He’s an amazing person irl

[@animazingcraze8103]

BRO THE ANIMATION YOU DO ARE ALL MASTERPIECES

[@guspauline7460]

"We had 5 followers and we jumped to 17..." Me: Ok, not a huge leap, but, it will get recognized soon enough I bet. *"THOUSAND followers"* Me: Oh...

[@SuperKratosgamer]

Now we need a hades series.

[@darkeanime8967]

There are no accidents master Oogway It was a great accident

[@kobejahbridgewater1826]

Doesn't make sense

[@biterness2323]

Can't wait for the upcoming projects that this amazing team will bring out!

[@InkfightStudios]

Inspiration is strong with this one! I can only hope to achieve this level one day keep going man!! 🔥🔥👌

[@israabouhouche1709]

I love Spencer so much

[@AngelCastillo-by6ni]

He reminds me of kamina

[@EvelynHernandez]

gorgeous animation :D

[@saiberunato]

Man is a genius. He, LeSean Thomas, Peter Chung, and Joaquim Dos Santos should collaborate. Maybe create an animation school in the US. Sadly Monty Oum is not with us...

[@MonographicSingleheaded]

Yep anime is now global :)

[@KittyPikaChu]

That's so damn awesomee

[@sharonyang8822]

UGH LOVE

[@peling8307]

I wonder how much they give him to start a studio

[@ladywalda5838]

Maybe with forward thinking creatives like him making a change "the starving artist" will be a thing of the past

[@ronan1g]

king

[@Tabby-Grizz]

Anyone here because of drawfee? XD

[@Taioshin669]

That amazing

[@jackko21]

Am i the only one who wants him to animate on dragonball for a huge fight scene
