Great video, Buzzfeed. Please bring more light to people behind the scenes of animation industries! I can relate so much to this because I am a part of an anime studio and I have been involved in animating in-betweens for animes like Attack on Titan, Pokemon and other major titles that people might have heard of. There is something rewarding seeing your drawn frames come to life. However I also envision a studio of my own. Gaining experiences and seeing how an animation studio have certainly helped me to visualize the dream.

My beginnings as an artist were just like them: creating from a young age. I wanted to be an animator up until high school but did not end up furthering my education in art because my mom hated the idea and refused to send me to art school. I couldn't afford school on my own, so I had to give up my dream. It worked out in the end, though. I still love drawing, but I've found my true calling is in education. :) for all of you aspiring animators: KEEP GOING!

I have a deep passion for art and animation, always have since i was little. A while ago I kinda gave up on pursuing it as a job because I grew up with a family that somewhat discouraged an artistic job choice because of the chances of success and employment in such a medium. But, Into The Spiderverse actually recaptured this essence in me. While i am in college, as a hobby I want to study and even create my own animations. Thank you for this video!

I worked with Ken Duncan when he was at Disney. He’s a brilliant animator, an excellent draftsman and a fine human being. His Duncan Studios does top notch work. Stephanie mentioned David Pruiksma as her professor and mentor. He’s another excellent animator and Disney veteran and wonderful instructor. I’m a Disney veteran and currently teach at LCAD where Stephanie studied. Currently most of my students are NOT males (though many are). The industry has been changing and is showing much diversity in animators. It’s about time.

This probably will be buried and unseen, but it would be interesting to see Disney animators or any veteran animators in the industry react to Warrior Cat MAPs. I've heard that some people believe that 2d animation isn't as popular as 3d animation any more and that people don't want to spend time on it as much. I would love to see how they'd react to the amazing animations that people from all around the world come together and produce for free. There are some amazing animators out there and it would be amazing to see a veteran animator give their feedback on the community.

if you want to animate traditionally you could always get a pencil and paper. but programs to do it digitally could be (free programs) firealpaca, opentoonz, pencil 2D or (paid programs) toon boom and adobe animate,. Mobile apps could be flipaclip and roughanimator. To get into 3d animating i recommend SFM to begin with. for the basics there are tons of free tutorials and books such as "the animator's survival guide".
