    Thanks for sharing your stories, I'm glad I've met you at SIGGRAPH Asia at Brisbane in November 2019 because I wanted to see what kind of career path I can take with animation and also figuring out what disciplines I want to specialise in long term. Your stories have made me reflect my learning experiences and goals to carefully plan for the future. I really want to get a career in the film industry in USA/Canda/AUS and work on feature films but it's hard due to visa compliances with a Malaysian passport. Therefore, I have to lean towards becoming a 3D generalist, instead of a CG specialist to get more job opportunities in smaller studios. Hope to see you again in the next SIGGRAPH Asia in Daegu!

    Thank you very much for sharing your experience. That's exactly the kind of honesty and content I was looking for!
    I'm willing to change my 2D cutout animation carrer to a 3D one exactly because the profits are really low, compared to the 3D, also I'm tired of TV series. I want to push quality from my work.
    Could you talk more about your game carrer? It got me curious, how different it is from the feature in term of routine, which studios rely too much on mograph and which doesn't?
    Thanks!

    Again I totally love how you're brutally honesty about all things about this business.
    It's so interesting to hear about all your struggles.
    I was wondering you said after AM you hired a private mentor?
    Since you enjoy teaching so much and want stability, which I can totally understand considering,
    how you have lept all over the world back and fourth.
    Have you not thought about starting your own mentor ship program?
    Like many other high profile animators.
    Since you worked on Oddbots I think you might have worked with Rusty Gray?
    He runs his own teaching now I'm a former student of one of his courses.
    And I know someone else who worked on that too, I just don't recall who right now.
    Also would you consider doing some games animation tutorial, or is that something you rather not do anymore?
    Or maybe even to complicated as they are quite a deal more technical in terms of where some animation starts and stops and how they all need to blend back to idle and has to be able to break out of and into another at any given moment etc.
    But I think there are very few good free game animation tutorials online.
    I have a final question to and that concerns the main control of the rig.
    When I was in school we were old to always leave that behind as we animate.
    As that's the point of reference the coders use to place the characters in the game.
    But I recently joined AnimDojo and I see that Bader Badruddin moves it all the time?
    So is it only for games we are not supposed to move it?
    B/c things becomes so much more easy, if and when we are allowed to move it for any type of turns , flips in the air for instance.
    This is a topic that I never got to terms with so would be nice to know what's the correct approach once and for all.
    Cheers for all the good work.

    First of all thank you so much for sharing, very interesting! I have sort of personal question regarding you moving around the world all the time - what about your family, children? I find it very hard to go somewhere and leave my daughter at home even for a couple of months.. So that leads to another question - is it possible to find a job lets say on a feature film as an animator from distance, where you can animate from home or office without going somewhere for a long time? Thank you

    I like how you talk about working more in your free time. It's something I considered doing, but I'm also worried about having time to rest and relax... People tell you it's not healthy to just work 24/7. So how do you balance your job with working on your own stuff at home and also having time to relax?

      Working on my personal animation is what i enjoy the most. So i guess thats what give me the energy.
      But as you say is important to rest too. I would say once a month i use to take 2 day off.. Also for me animation is now work, but passion, so not so tiring

    Ciao Alessandro! At 5:15 you talk about being a MoCap cleanup artist and I know that’s not what you wanted to do, but in my case that’s what I want to do!! How and where can I study to be a MoCap cleanup artist? There are lots of online Animation schools (Animation Mentor, iAnimate, AnimSchool, AnimSquad, etc) and lots of Animation courses in prestigious universities but I can’t find a Motion Capture course anywhere! Where can I learn MoCap from scratch? (for reference, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Film and I have studied animation, including 2D, stop-motion and now 3D)

    • @acamporota
      @acamporota  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Before you learn how to improve the mocap you need to learn the animation... Once you get the job, they will teach you how to clean up and improve the mocap

    • @ConstanzaRigazio
      @ConstanzaRigazio 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alessandro Camporota Hi, thanks for replying! So... do you think with a good animation reel one could get a job in MoCap even without MoCap experience? All the job postings I see for MoCap ask for previous MoCap experience (+ stuff like Motion Builder, Blade, Python,etc) which makes me think it’s really hard to find an entry level job in the field. What kind of entry level jobs should I be looking for in order to build a path that leads to MoCap?
