[@MrCh4iN]

phew! I really felt that "keep it short" one, it's hard haha specially when you think about it, you start to plan out and realize it'll take at least 10 seconds, thanks, great video as always!

[@jeandenishaas]

I struggle with it as well. 😂 (and thanks!)

[@enderperez-lopezanimations4103]

Cool, J-D. I love your FNA's and lectures, happy Friday to you and everyone.

[@jeandenishaas]

Thank you!! And same!

[@mehulsoni8220]

Hi JD. This was super helpful. Would be awesome if you did a video for animators who've been in the industry for a few years and who want to refine their craft to go to that next level all while juggling it with the current job they do.

[@jeandenishaas]

Ooohhh love that one!!! That’s a great topic!

[@RoughDonut]

Hey JD! The shot at 8:08 is from Reece Porter :)

[@jeandenishaas]

OOH! THANK YOU!!

[@fevval7958]

Hello. If anyone is able, my question is that, how do you go about checking your work to improve upon it? What options are there, if not able to attend to school?

[@jeandenishaas]

You’d have to ask people for feedback so that you get an outside perspective. There’s only so far you can go with self critiques.

[@sassi7190]

I habe a question, is ist possible to depend on Blender instead Maya in animation. I mean producing short films

[@jeandenishaas]

Sure! Blender is free and has lots of plug ins and tools and a very vibrant community. So easy access and learning material!

[@SundayLunch]

Nice T-shirt thanks for tips

[@jeandenishaas]

😂 and you’re welcome!
