Love this reminder. In an animated or film related career field, you're always going to be collaborating with others, and teamwork is so important! If you can't work well with others and take feedback and notes with grace, it impacts everything. Not just your relationship with your peers but the entire atmosphere of the project.
In addition to the great points about taking feedback, I also appreciate the emphasis on getting paid for addressing notes. I have a few friends who have been taken advantage of when it comes to art commissions where clients will tweak a piece of work endlessly. I always encourage those friends to speak up and set a limit of free revisions, with anything past that costing extra.
thank you for sharing this; it's super helpful to think about! i especially appreciate your note on how being able to take feedback can save your job haha! gives me hope about getting my foot in the door, and being able to keep a job in the industry! super excited to follow your channel :3
Great video and I'm so glad you brought this up! I struggled with this (putting my ego aside/knowing notes aren't personal) when I started off and to an extent I still do. But the ability to take notes and feedback or ask questions, like you said, has made a lot of my supervisors have more trust in my work methods despite my experience/skill not being really great! It really is a life saving soft skill to know.
This is solid! I’m glad you stress the difference between acceptance with some discussion versus flat out disagreeing. It should be fine to talk things out, but shutting down is not cool in any team project. It just holds everyone back. Thank you as well for the freelance advice.
The way you emphasize your point tells me this is no joke! I can say I had a similar experience even working on my senior film. My team's ability to adapt to feedback and apply it made all the difference in the world... even if we had to entirely scrap some ideas and start from scratch. I always wondered how much constructive criticism weighed in alongside technical skill, thanks for driving that point home! Very helpful
Hi, Sia! These helpful tips were really important! Because I myself had a hard time learning to take in the critiques. Now, I'd like to get honest critique to improve my skills. This is something everyone needs to have.
Great perspective! Definitely been there before. In my experience it's easiest to take feedback when my supervisor obviously knows a lot more than me. I imagine there isn't really a way to show prospective employers that you respond well to criticism? Probably just a reputation thing.
Always good to be busy, keep it up.
Always!
True! Letting go of the anxiety of being criticised is one of the fastest ways to be a better artist. It's way easier said than done, though haha.
Thank you for watching!
Excellent point! Everyone tells you how to do the technical stuff, but your soft skills and people skills are super important as well!

Any chance to improve excites me. I'll remember to leave the ego at the door and take any feedback once in the industry happily. Thanks for the video!
