Damn. So accurate

InstaBlaster.

omg thats amazing congrats to you!

Thank you!! You’re a total inspiration 💕

what course r u taking

@@unicornian_ I’m an Ux interaction Designer so fictional Design and blended spaces

@@EstherJoy999 What's blended spaces? Is that AR or something?

It's a high school project not a reference for a job or something. I'm sure your teacher didn't even contact this person so you're fine. If you ever want to network with professionals in your field, you're best bet is to find them in linkedin or give them direct messages not comment on a youtube video (where they might not see it).

awww thank you really hoping the best and congrats on your move!

you don’t know me but i’m wishing the best to you!

I am trying to become a storyboard artist too (I even post some of my stuff here). Good luck bro.

Good luck man lol trying to do the same too

Goals! Yay!

that's awesome!

same here, taking a character design course

Same too lol

Do you feel like the course has been helpful?

@@mewTripled --excellent video. As someone who has hired and fired board artists (storyboard director), I'd hire you. But. Do you really need to say 'fuck' in your vids? I say the word in a work setting from time and that's not my concern. Nor do I care how you present yourself, but it (IMO) it's jarring when you are offering info to students that is so great. I don't hear that many board artists using the word in the office unless they get a horrible script and are told to make it funny. And turn it in faster. And do the character designs and size relationships and backgrounds and prop designs and give the rough designs to those respective folks so they can use them for the board once you're done.---. Then, yeah, fuck. Do your fucking job, please. I will add that I was trained and hired in the late seventies, and HAD to be one of the 'boys'. As you know (until recently) our business has been 90% male. Departments full of ink and paint that were only women of course, but board artists? No. I think there were two female board artists when I started. Rest of them men. Had to swear with the best/worst of them (dudes) to fit it. Had to accept the playboy, Hustler spreads all over the walls until I just ripped one down if they were too out there. There were lots of pranks that were hilarious but I'd give a smack to any that got too friendly. It was not uncommon to set stinking shoes on fire in the hallway. The compliments were, 'You draw pretty well - for a girl." So what's my point? Nothing. I have nothing to say to you other than great job on your video and especially your reaching out to students and sharing your talent, experience, and the fact that you can learn so much online. End those 100,000 plus student loans now. Fuck.

You got this!!

@@mewTripled Thank you! ♥

“SoCal SoThatSucks” is so clever lol. I feel the same!!

what is social?

@@saxenart Sout California mate

Thank you I'm glad this helped!

Thank you so much I'm so happy to hear that!

aww thank you!

Do not go to college. Unless you're dead set on entering a STEM field/healthcare career, DO NOT WASTE TIME AND MONEY ON COLLEGE. Take it from someone 20 years older than you: you have PLENTY of time to go to college if you finally find yourself mature enough to take responsibility for the debt, as well as actually giving a shit about school and your life. Either look into technical schools (some do actually offer things like storyboarding or things similar to that, so look into it) and/or work for a few years to gain life experience and maturity. There is absolutely no rush to go to college, and many trades do in fact pay 10x more AT ENTRY LEVEL than a majority of college degrees. And I do mean in the $100,000's, depending on which one you train for (but most do pay around $70-80k TO START). Talk to people who've went to a technical school. They will definitely tell you that they don't regret going. You'll have basically no debt (in fact, many states pay for your schooling) and have a highly in demand skill set. Don't take my word for it, ask around and do your research.

I know this is 2 years old, but I still have a some advice ! Either wait for college, or go to a cheap community college. Take multiple classes on things that might interest you, switch majors if you feel it’s not right, etc! It’s a really good way to not only build up a multitude of skills but also figure out your passion! Plus it’s way cheaper. Community colleges rock! But no pressure either way, because there’s nothing wrong with taking gap years to figure yourself out!!! Do whatever feels right for you, no one knows you better than yourself ! There’s no right or wrong way to do anything :]

Thank you so much! You got this!

it can be tricky to navigate in the beginning but it will be easy after the learning curve!

A lot of things worth doing are quite hard! But if you think it's worth it, give it a go! :)

@@mewTripled aww thxx

@@ArtBusinesswithNess ikr it stresses me bc i think its to hard for me

@@scarydeath2480 Awww nono hun you shouldn't worry about that! I have no doubt you're talented enough. The question you should be asking yourself is "what do I need to achieve that?" If there's things you need to learn, you can learn them, if there's things you need to practice, you can practice them. If there's experience you need, you can acquire it. Don't worry that it's too hard for you, just work methodically through everything you need to get there, and you'll do it :)

Hellooo!

I'm so glad! Best wishes!

yeah totally understandable. having some experience in the field even if it's not storyboard specifically is helpful at least to get to know people. Keep updating your storyboard portfolio as well if you find the work in there currently doesn't bring anything to you. Other ways that help are joining online storyboarding workshops or classes to help you network with others and your teacher may potentially have knowledge or connections to help you too!

@@mewTripled Thank you so much! That is very helpful! 😊

np and thank YOU!

same lol

💖💖💖

it definitely is a possibility but most of the time storyboarders are employed (from my experience). There are still freelanced board artists, but most productions i know of have a storyboard team. So if you want the flexibility of freelancing that is still available too!

It depends where you live! In Montreal for instance, most storyboard artists work on a contractual basis because the animation studios are smaller, so they may not have back-to-back projects to keep their board artists employed constantly. MewTripled says where she is in Cali, these big wig studios have their in-house full-time board artists which makes total sense!

animation knowledge is helpful but not necessary!

@@mewTripled ah alright, thanks so much!

yeeeess!!

like crunch time? yeah for sure, they always come in waves and during crunch times I just let myself focus on the one thing that needs priority and tell myself its ok if other things i wanted to take care of don't get done (like IG comics, youtube videos etc.). And during times liek that i also allow myself to get take out to lessen the work of cooking and "treating" myself for working hard xD Then around 8-9pm i tell myself its time to draw the line and stop working. Knowing you did your best is all you need to do

Awww thankss! And yes it's been an adjustment... bon still likes staring out the window but is sad to have no neighbors to look at now ;_;

@@mewTripled 😭😭😭😭😭

Hi Sara, I believe for international students, it's required to get a degree to be able to work in the industry in the US. At the same time, I don't believe that you need to go to an expensive art school just for that, any school that can provide you classes related to that will do. There are also places like Concept Design Academy and Brainstorm which now have online classes too which will allow you to connect with people in the industry while also learning from them. Keeping an online platform helps with helping you get discovered. I hope that helps on some level, and good luck with everything! ✨

@@mewTripled I already have a bachelor's degree from the UK. I graduated in Film, majored in Directing and Producing... Doesn't that give me any sort of opportunity in the industry? And if not, small courses are enough to get in the industry ?

A degree isn't necessary! Skillshare and other online learning places can suffice, and people want to see if you're more of a good match through your work moreso than fitting requirements.

@@mewTripled thank you!

Good luck

@@augietrautz thanks

They are listed at animationguild.org/ !

😶😶😶

If you aren't confident in your skill level treat your comic like a place to not only show your stories, but your progression in skill level too! So many comic artist's work improve so much over the course of a graphic novel and i think it's so cool to see!

@@mewTripled Thank you so much for the advice! You really inspire me!

Which SCAD are you going to Atlanta, Savanna, or somewhere else. I want to go to SCAD when I graduate but I have trouble choosing between Atlanta and Savanna.

I think a f*cking amazing portfolio can suffice.

hello!!
