Tips for Polishing Animation from a Disney Animator

[@SirWade]

This is a great one to watch all the way through, so many useful tips! What do YOU guys struggle with most when you're polishing???

[@artistsukh1127]

Sir Wade Neistadt thanks 😊

[@artistsukh1127]

Can you do critique videos sir? I mean we can submit our animations to you and you can point out our mistakes....that will be a great video and will be helpful to everyone!! 😃😄

[@JessicaNeistadt]

I can never paint my left hand as well as my right :/ #biggestpolishingstruggle

[@diegocarrillo7211]

Another great video sir wade!

[@diegocarrillo7211]

Sir Wade, I apologize again for bothering you. I had sent you an email about how I am a high school student wanting to know how to join the animation industry. I'm currently a Junior and will be soon applying for college. I had emailed this email "[e-mail]". You told me in your reply comment to shoot you an email and that it was in the video's description. I apologize if this was the wrong email and not the one you wanted me to send to. I hope to hear a response back, and thank you for reaching out to me and keep up the good work.

[@1shotremakes574]

Being an animator for 25 years, I can agree to every single word he’s saying.

[@ThePizza28]

This is such a useful video, I'm a 18yo aspiring Pixar animator and, while perfectly logical, it feels good hearing those tips from a professional, and more !

[@SnowyDaBear]

Dang, Two legends sitting side by side! Loved this video! ❤️

[@louiseruidant5358]

So cool! Waking up this morning wondering how could i bring things up in polish on today's animation and THIS came to me! :D the best moment for this video, Thanks a lot 👌 For me, it s that moment when i desynchronize the frames for more overlapping action... i often panic because i don t remember what was the purpose on each frames... and... there is keys everywhere and.... DUH!! X')

[@BumblesAnimation]

So much good advice here and I'm so glad you answered my question in Tim's vid. You've got a new dedicated sub. Loved the bit about robbing a frame here and there to speed up or make an action a little snappier. I do this a lot as well. And I HATE half frames. Lol

[@arunkris_]

Thank you. this is more than an educational resource🫰

[@digitalart4245]

life is short eat dessert first !LoL

[@duncfg]

Such a wonderfully candid, open and honest conversation. So many great tips that feel so much more inspiring than the often daunting nature of others' tip videos. Thank you both.

[@rebeltamales]

[@danieltodorovic3879]

Thank you SIr, Great tips I like the fact that you actually have industry talent giving newcomers a glance of how to become an animator.

[@At_Amsterdam]

[@lazyprogrammer3152]

really nice one

[@MrReactric]

scale keys for the timing.. it is a problem for me. surely arcs are everywhere. mouth, eye brow, torso etc. I must be carefull for everything.

[@vedangsharma1000pixels]

Hi sir, I am from India and i am about to finish up with schools. I want to study at school of visual arts in New York. I want to become a modeler and an animator , and I am terrible at drawing. I know basic modeling and animation which i learnt from an local academy in my town. Most of the portfolios I saw which were accepted contained hand drawn stuff. Will i get accepted if I only include some 3d models and pieces of animation? I am very serious about it and i have also started preparing for English tests such as the IELTS. Thank you!

[@vamsikrishna6636]

Ballu .. first select your specialization ( animation or modeling ).. then start working on it.. don't hurry... learn thoroughly...

[@vedangsharma1000pixels]

Vamsi krishna I wanna specialise in animation. I am improving quickly at animation and animation itself is very interesting for me! Appreciate your reply!

[@animserj]

Great video. Some nice advice's. But the edit was killing my eyes. Sound wise all ok, and if you just listen its great. But looking at it, with everything jumping it was a nightmare. I understand that there was a lot of water that you edited. But I would rather watch a 2+ hour long video than this edit. Hope next time you prepare a script or don't edit that much. Anyway great job. Really interesting topics for animators. Keep'em coming.

[@stephanszitha370]

EVRY..... EVERY.... EVEEEEEERYTHING. ....EVERY. Gesturing all over the place.

[@Sithwar777]

You guys think you can help me out with environment modeling? I gave up on animation lol. BUT I am looking for a pro that can guide me with modeling. Thanks.

[@renarddubois940]

really polishing not there in student work? I'd say it's when you're pro that you don't get to polish anymore cuz you don't have time.;

[@rodomfilo9822]

Does anyone know about that script that he talks about which works moving the keys to whole frames without editing the curve?

[@AlexIlyin]

Hello from Russia, Wade! Thank you for very useful stuff!

[@kendarr]

I feel like animation is much like cooking in a sense, it's a lot about the feel, even on written recipes you see a lot of :salt to taste. What I mean is that it has a lot to do with the feeling, how you feel when watching how others feel when watching.

[@morbid1.]

Did I understand it correctly.. he said to always animate in FK and use IK only when there is interaction?

[@liamoohay24365]

me right now 17:21

[@flashguy23]

these are amazing

[@mhammadhujyri6799]

Well i want to study animation at college and i want to work at dreamworks after finish it but what i should have to work in it ?

[@oskarCzo95]

Thank you very much :), This is very helpful

[@vikingzeppelin]

[@flipletape9706]

Good stuff, this is pretty much exactly what I do lol

[@peiqqichin9462]

Thank you for the video, really appreciate it!

[@beminj]

Thank you gor making this videos!

[@kajalsharma3486]

can you tell about walk cycle and upper body in next tutorial

[@jacobballard7839]

He’s my brother in laws brother

[@bijoyp]

I was waiting for this

[@SirWade]

I hope it was worth the wait!!

[@bijoyp]

Sir Wade Neistadt it definitely was! Although there are more topics to cover (get on it asap, pls xD). i dont know if you remember this wade, but about 5 months ago i started my animating journey on my own, and it proved to be super tough. So when i commented on one of your videos and asked for advice, you said a few words which motivated me a lot. Also assured me that i was on the right track. I can never thank you enough for that xD been working on my skills ever since. If you have time, please take a look at my channel again, and i assure you im not the only one who took inspiration from your how to become an animator series xD thanks again cheers!

[@ehsanbayat9545]

Allen Ostergar! I love his work. Thanks for sharing this!

[@TaylorGessler]

Love Allen! Great advice. Thanks for the interview!!

[@abzoo4119]

Wow, amazing tips. Subscribed :).

[@SirWade]

Happy to have you joining us!! Thanks for watching!

[@judsta123kickass]

And im hear having a hard time moving from the blocked out phase to the animated phase of my animation

[@SirWade]

I've been getting a lot of requests to do a video about that struggle! I definitely intend to address that! :)

[@manjunath22j]

Thanks sir Wade..

[@liamoohay24365]

what do you do when you animated a LOT and then maya freezes?

[@SirWade]

Cry, usually... Save OFTEN and in incremental file versions so you have backups as you go. Or use dropbox- they keep file versions for you :)

[@mikkelmelby]

Superb!!

[@Unknownunknown-vh3ht]

I’m 17 and my dreams to be a animator am I too old or too late to start now and be successful ?
