Hey thanks for uploading this. it was nice meeting you at ctn expo. I was the guy that asked you if you were gonna upload this video to youtube. It was my fist time going to that event.

[@henrysmalstig1319]

This is awesome, I had to miss this when I was CTN but I heard great things from some friends who went. Thanks so much for uploading

[@mr10pink]

Curious to know, how parents or people with 30+ handle their careers in animation. But thats maybe a wrong topic for this video. :)

[@b.chantalacostaflores447]

Very valuable advice and very inspirational to listen to. Thank you for such a wonderful video!

[@mfiocca]

a lot of good info here; applicable to most if not all professional industries

[@maginpanic]

31:45 is so so important.

[@virtual_intel]

Know your ishhh :D I'm working on my own Animation Studio out here on KZbin. Self made, no schooling, but yeah learning from the entire animation community out here. Oh and loving the process of creating my own Studio from scratch. As my sucking at 3D animation has humbled me a great deal over the years. I truly think sucking really bad at something shall become the drive a person needs to make them become far better than anyone ever thought they could become long term.

[@shaheedsaadiq7958]

Thanks for the upload, learned a lot. The "On Air" signs a cool touch btw.

[@BrianKouhi]

Super informative, Thanks!

[@3DMartinez]

This was a great thing to watch while currently finishing up a character animation reel!

[@anom794939393]

this is awesome i feel like allot of this advice is helpful for so many fields not just animation!

[@shelishapiro1948]

Hey Sir Wade! Thanks a lot for all your effort! Wish I could have been there, very insightful! You are awesome!

[@PrashanSubasinghe]

Hi Sir Wade! Thank you for posting this! this was great and you did a fantastic job moderating the panel! went through some great questions. missed you at CTN but I'll catch you next year!

[@MaybSh]

Thanks 👍... Learnt the key fundamentals for approaching in the right direction and will keep learning & growing.

[@bobbyboombeck]

Hey Sir Wade, it was great seeing you at CTN and thank you for rocking this panel. It was definitely one of my favorites of the show!

[@AxelEztudio]

Thanks for the great panel and the good information you guys add to the world wide community :)

[@aqualust5016]

For a graduating art student that probably doesn’t have a ton of work to share in their reel, would a recruiter or hiring staff prefer shots with animations with a scene or background or should the character(s) be isolated?

[@brunosldias]

Thanks for sharing that Sir Wade! That is the kind of content that can really help prepare us junior animators. Finding a first job can be a cumbersome task. Keep up the great work!

[@shevanvfx]

thank you sir wade for this insight ! :) :)

[@NatHolmeaa]

Thanks for sharing this an hosting it! And what a great host you are, asking all the good questions!

[@PeterRobieArt]

Thanks Wade! This was really insightful and a huge help.

[@enderperez-lopezanimations4103]

Oh cool, thank you Sir Wade to share this!!!

[@mr10pink]

Hi, thanks for great video! What is your opinion. When some one before working in animation, worked some years in graphic design. Do recruiters or studios care about that or is it just the one thing you apply for?

[@earlbrawley8208]

Nice panel, some really good advice in there.

[@roswarmth]

Thank you for this gem 💓

[@ukmonk]

Shawn is the only guy here I would love to work for/with. (Not including SIr Wade, he is a cool dude anyways) but the other 3, I'll give those a miss.

[@adrienhirtz2788]

Thank you Sir wade for what you do ! Very helpful !

[@JirehMont]

9:48 THANK YOU!

[@xavierrobertson8730]

Awesome vid as always Sirwade. Great edvice from great people 👍🏼

[@jaredjohnson4085]

Thank you Sir Wade! Could you do a lip sync tutorial?

[@Violazemo]

I'm really curious how that will work out with 2 kids and my wife working full time. I don't think studios will appreciate if I had to stay home because my kids are sick or they have no school that day. So I'm being bold here and say that young students are definitely more advantaged than old dinosaur like me...

[@creativtalentnetwork]

Hey thanks for bringing this panel to #CTNX2019. Really great topic. 👍👍👍

[@simrankumar6901]

That was really insightful! Thanks👍

[@AkashSingh-qh2ys]

Idk what to say Thank you very much for the interview

[@princealmighty5391]

You all are so young I'm 23 I know animation takes 20 years to learn I will be 43 before getting a job In animation man need to start getting fit so can live a long career Life drawing will take 7 years to learn to a desired standard and propotion and placement 13 years I dont even think 20 years is enough time

[@dddmod6596]

What to do if you want to animate characters but don’t want to animate in Maya :-)

[@ahmedteeka]

Many thanks for sharing that :)

[@na_haynes]

14:25 take this advice with a grain of salt, I asked this question a few times during various interviews and it's never well received. You've either got the right stuff or you don't, just shove your greatness down their throats. 40:30 pretty much says it all. I don't think I'd like to work for these people lol.

[@JustZino]

big help thanks

[@ILLRICARDO]

Do you prefer 15.6 or 17.3 laptop screens?

[@Meantime_Creations]

[@potatokitty]

[@pixelwizard1685]

[@dudeboyzgaming2380]

congrats on 100k 🍬🍬🍬🍬

Initially I was a lil appalled to constantly hear “Be a kind person” “You wanna be on your p’s and Q’s” “you wanna make sure to listen and listen” but I’m not seeing anyone being given a reason as to why they should work with any of these companies like you also have to be a leader someone can work with because the way I hear the directors get Lee way for being kind of rude and covering it up as “Honest” is kind of a red flag. But overall as always I loved this and enjoyed the pointers given here.
