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!

What was your favorite tip or answer in this video?? Any other methods you use to stay focused and productive? :)
Sir Wade Neistadt hi
Managing the time and knowing the can i do this on time or not
"Be smart about the planning stage: not all tasks take the same time to complete". Great talk, Guillermo!
1: Get A Calendar
2: Not all stages are equal in animation: spend the most time blocking and planning
3: Get to know you tools more (learn hot keys and shortcuts)
4: Know your limitations (don’t be afraid to pass of work to other people or say no)
5: Set daily goals of what you want to get done
4:45 “The less you are improvising as you go along.” YES! This right here! I’m an animation student and I definitely learned this the hard way/towards the end of this semester while working on my film. I noticed that if I spent more time on preproduction especially the story boarding/animatic part, I wouldn’t have to improvise so much on my film. Thank you for posting these interviews, and I’ll be sure to check out the rest!
This is gold! Thank you.
Guillermo is very grounded and wise!
Thanks Ami! Guillermo is the best :) Your videos and posts are awesome btw! If you ever want to collab, I’d be excited to work with you! :D
Is Anyone else getting "Coco" vibe too from this brilliant person?
Absolutely Helpful Tips, Thanks both of you for giving us your precious time.
Nice tips from this guy. He is so humble!
Always great to hear from a Latino animator! Great tips, gracias Guillermo!
This is pure gold.
P.s. why do we all suffer so much in those crunch days? I'm a 1 man team and I always end up working OT and pounding energy drinks to stay functional 😅😅 this may be topic for another video.
hi sir wade, i was wondering if you could make a video about storyboards and tips about what should someone interested on this career shoul learn and how to get started. thank you for all your videos, really helpful.
Great request! On the list it goes :)
Yeah, totally agreed
I wast so much time when I animate. Thx for this video man.
Your videos are really helpful. Thank you so much for creating them. They really help me out with my projects 🙏
I was just thinking of how do I manage my time and that's my biggest challenge right now and it has been answered!Thank you so much! Your videos always somehow answers all my questions regarding animation 👍😁
Happy animating to all my sudakas colleagues and everyone (:, thanks for this interview Sir.
Thanks! This video just prevented me from a major mistake in my shot, with love from Kazakhstan!
Hi Sir Wade, this is great to see people from the studio itself and talking about so many useful thing which we know but never think about. I am learning so many things from this channel since I have subscribed. The question about the universities or the studio is the important question for me and I can relate to it as well.
FYI I am going to use your technique for interview in my interview(using FK and IK) if you allow me to ;P..
Thanks for the learning.
Love from India.
Wise words from the master!
Very good tips and informative! Thank you for the video!
Very helpful!!! Thanks a lot 🤓And perfect timing for me
Thanks man!
This is Great!
Saludos colega y amigo Guillermo desde Paraguay / Greetings colleague and friend Guillermo from Paraguay
Great video! 😃
This was super interesting! Thanks for that interview :)
Great video, thanks for this man! The plugin that Guillermo mentions, is that the same aTools that is now animBot?
What a charming guy!
this man is brilliant
Thank you. sir
Hey Wade. I'm new to the whole animation thing. I am thinking of changing my minor to animation with a major in MIS and software development. Anyways, I am a self taught music producer of 10 years and have worked with a few multi-platinum recording artists. Mostly in rap and pop/edm. If you ever need some music for anything, like your channel or some animations you make, anything, I can help out. All copyright free. I make pretty much any genre. I've played the guitar for 25 years and piano for 20 years. So I can record live music as well (i have a dedicated studio at home). Anyways, let me know if you're ever interested. I know there are a ton of places to get non copyrighted music. But, alot of it is looped, generic, or, used on every channel in the world lol. Anyways, great video. I've just found your channel and it is very informative and entertaining!
Thank you Sir Wade for uploading this kind of content and for giving us inspiration, and to sir Guillermo for a wonderful tips.
may i ask if he has another animation community group on Facebook for those aspiring animators/artist who is not from Paraguay?
Good stuff, Wade. Thanks for putting this together! May I respectfully suggest a high-pass filter on your dialog at 120hz. Cheers!
I'm still learning audio, what does that do? :) Is that to help with the room noise-fuzz?
In this case it would reduce the bassy air conditioning rumble. Again: great content regardless! Did you animate the lower thirds yourself? They're expressive and fun!
Ooh, thanks for the tip! I have another 2 videos filmed in the same space so I'll use that in those :) And I did! Haha thanks!
Anybody know that youtube channel of the professional animator that did like thirty hours of a shot he was talking about?
I wonder what's the channel Guillermo mentioned for animation workflow.
what do you suggest animators who work on tv series? like me we work on tight schedulelike there is no way enough time for blocking n video reference.
This was great thanks Wade just one question who was at the door at 14:06 I'm really curious now lol XD
Hahaha well since you asked, it was another animator named Alexis Wanneroy, coming to ask about some animation classes I was teaching that week :D
aw cool that's awesome
what type of plugin is available.
hey, thank you! Great stuff :)
btw do any of you know the youtube channel of the animator with the 30hour long workflow vids? I would love to check it out :)
Martin P I agree. I teach animation and would love to pass this 30 hour workflow video to my students. It's always great to watch others animate.
Yes! Pleaseee :D It would be great.
Yeah I wanna know too
Hey buddy if you got the link please pass it on.
Me too!
Hey, great video thank you so much. What plugin did Guillermo mention at 7:29 was it called A tool or 8 tool?, sorry I couldn't quite get the name, thanks :)
aTools :) it’s the baby version of AnimBot!
@@SirWade Thanks so much 😊 really appreciate it, just getting into animation with my first zelda rig and found your videos which are really informative and helpful thank you so much!!
Long story short - when I miss a deadline I move the deadline myself to the next day... then to the next day... to the next day- until its done! Thats not a time management technique.
Sounds like a lot of time wasted when you could just be doing it.
