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 TH-cam 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!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for that. Now that I've been made aware of this, not only will my animations improve, but I'll become a much better liar!
Wow that's actually super helpful, I never thought of offsetting gestures from dialogue.
Well done, you’ve been used in my drama class
same here
This is why taking an acting course is very important. I understand not everyone goes to a 4-year college university but if you do, its a mandatory class when you're getting an animation degree.
Really very thankful to you for sharing such tips. Although these may be heard in some tutorials, the way you present is really very influencing, and fantastic.
One thing I realised at 3.14 of the video from the body language is that, you love that cat more than anything...
Nice...
Great video Sir Wade! The "i dont know" one really helped me see how different the message can be with the timing of the gestures.
What do you find yourself struggling with in your shots? Is it acting? Mechanics? What do you feel like you aren't learning enough about in school?
Should I prefer online schools or animation colleges
It would be great to see what's your process of making an animation. I struggle with clearly dividing my work into blocking, refining and polishing stages. I'd be really helpful to hear some tips about that from you!
I think the anticipation of an action is a bit hard sometimes, especially if a specific character has their own way of doing thing, such as unique facial expressions, body language, and such...
For me it's timing. I always end up making pauses and holds last for exactly one or two seconds, rather than figuring out a natural length for each one.
For me I'm still trying to wrap my head around timing and spacing I tend to struggle with that the most in my shots
The good thing is you can watch the video again right after you watched the whole video to find all the pauses and gestures that Wade made while he was talking.
This is really cool. JD consistently has pointed out this in many of his Acting Analysis for Animators videos. You summing all that in this video by demonstrating multiple examples and variations made it even more clear.
Thanks you so much.
I like to use when you were explaining the process as I could see your body language begin before you started to speak and made it extremely simple to understand
Been a while since I was able to watch your video. It's like a breath of fresh air. I noticed that in the gesture that was made while talking, it seemed as though the person doesn't really care. It's pretty interesting.
Cat: "I hear 'Meal', I come to check!"
I really like how you actually acted, and it really got me thinking like "Hey, that's actually something I never noticed"! Great job! :D
Thanks Sir Wade, I've already watched your interview with JP before and found it super helpful, the subtext and other stuff that he mentioned has blown my mind, he gave an interesting idea on how he approached the dialogue shot, though I haven't done acting shot before but I will definetely watch it again! super super awesome!!!!!!
I love acting, cause there is so much behind this, I didn't think of it before, but it makes so much sense...from now on, and i hope i never forget this ( i will save it for later anyways) hahah.. I will keep it in mind for my next acting choices! Thank you or sharing this tips with us, for some may seem obvious, but whene we are doing something right away don't always think about stuff like this.
I loved your video! I had never thought about how an animator might need to know acting to make the animation for believable. I cannot wait to show my students!
I can't believe I used to only watch your videos that were specifically about Blender! I thought only those were relevant to me. You are HUGE!!! I know you made this 3 years ago, but please keep teaching these software-agnostic fundamentals.
Congrats on 60k Sir Wade!
Can you make an episode on guiding new comers to learn about rigging and technical art? I would love to know more it :D thank you
this is fantastic...acting tips are really helpful..Currently working at someplace where they don't quite accept the idea of offsetting the acting from the dialogue,My shots dont get approved if its not hitting with the dialogue. Really Thankful as atleast im not wrong for thinking of working this idea.
That's really very helpful. Thanks! Want some more videos like this.. and your acting is also amazing.. like that!
OOooooo this is INVALUABLE!!! Thank you so much! I've started teaching myself animation and just realized I'm at the stage of being able to complete pretty decent roug animation! Although I still have to learn how to do fabric and things, but I can't wait to use this advice!!!!
Thanks, prepping for a big dialogue scene and this will definitely help!
This is some great advice thanks for sharing this really helps
Great video. Good info. The music in the bg is a little hype to focus on what your saying but this was super helpful. Keep making more.
the LSD effect man litt
Thanks for the advice. Great information here.
Its to good to think like this as an animator 😍
I'm really feeling it!
This is actually super cool!
These tips are so helpful,can you recommend on more rigs ?and offer idea fo a body mechanics shot for a demo real and what work should be on a demo real.
Thank you for your videos!! They are very very helpful!!
That was actually really helpful! Thanks!
this is super insightful
Great video! Super helpful! Thank you
at 3:12 you turned so quickly to face your cat indicating you were more interested in it that recording this video
Perfect real life example of guiding the action…when the cat shows up lol
i kinda learn body language at the same time here.. extra helpful😁
yeah same, reading and communicating through body language doesnt come naturally to me so it was lowkey really helpful
Some good ideas here, cheers mate.
Great stuff
GOOOOLLLDDDDD
Is it necessary to make acting video myself Or finding random person to do acting for my animation shot will be fine because right now i don't know anything about acting. Sometimes i make good acting video but sometimes don't ???.
this is so usefull thank you very much!!
Thanks a lot for your great videos 😄
I have a question..
I have a problem with some movements in acting..
For example..
A hand texture when someone is angry.. The shaking of the hand is always hard to achieve on the timeline frames..
How i can do the shaking of the hand and do appear normal to the audience?
Came here straight from discord
3:12 paid actor
Wade do animation reaction videos on bad and good animation
lol imagine someone taking this info to become a better liar lol as they know how gestures express ur talks
Did I miss something? What is the documentary you are talking about?
Didn't know you had a twitch, just followed. I am officially your 1337 twitch follower. B)
Would you call a sword fight with just gestures n expressions pantomime or just acting in general?
Great video! What was the name of the documentary you referred to?
Hi sir wade
I was wondering if you think it's worth it to go to animation school or
just be self taught?
Is there like a requirement to get into a animation company;
Dreamworks ,Disney, Pixar,eg;
Like a degree of some sort.
Just at the moment animation mentor is a little bit out of reach price wise.
Thanks
Unrelated to the video, but could you please upload more twitch stuff to youtube? Like timelapses and stuff?
you look like jack lemmon
can someone share me link for x-force activation for maya 2015
this guy telling psychology and behaviour sh*t instead of animation 🙂😂
Animation = Acting = Human behavior
@@SirWade yes boss 🫡😂🥲
