In three years, I went from having absolutely no experience in 3D Animation to working at DreamWorks Animation Studios teaching just about all of the 3D software used to make movies! After 2 years there, I left to try freelance / independent content creation on KZfaq for awhile, before I head back to Feature Film!
This is my journey- the entire process from when I decided I wanted to be an animator until I eventually get there, and everything along the way that will make it possible.
Whether you're chasing a similar dream, or just interested to see where mine takes me, subscribe to follow along with the incredible journey that it takes to become an animator!
You will not be disappointed.
Keep up with the action and connect with me on social!

@@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.

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.

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.

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!

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 KZfaq, '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 😊
