    You animated Mrs. Tweedy during the final fight? You can be really proud of yourself. Animating the villain during the end of a movie is a big thing!

    In my solo attempt in making my debut album earlier this year, I ran into so many little problems, I wound up having a meltdown that completely shipwrecked my progress. Your video has helped me beyond words. Thank you.

    I needed this today. I couldn't get anything done and had a bit of a meltdown before this. I gave up and said "f it, I'll just watch youtube untill I fell asleep" and this was the first video I watched. It really helped me see things in a different way. I'll still rest for a bit, hopefully tomorrow will be better. But I just wanted to thank you for sharing this, Andy 🙏

    Thank you for sharing this, Andy. I am currently working through the final stages of my scary but amazing experience/project, and you have no clue how much I needed to hear this story. No matter how it turns out, if you did your best, that's all we can realistically ask for. Life itself is imperfect, so it's worth being proud of the great things we've made in spite of their flaws.

    Hello, I know you likely won’t see this but I just wanted to say something real quick
    I stumbled upon your channel when I was 9 and thought it was so cool, you were a big inspiration for me at the time and I’d say you’re the main reason I got into animation. Glad to see you still post stuff and thank you for getting me here

    Brilliant video! I was a compositor on Dawn of the Nugget and it's so lovely to see the gantry shots getting worked on. The shots of Molly being helped up and Tweedy falling were my shots. Amazing to see you animating them and the skill you showed on this film is incredible. What a treat it was to work on.

    I’m so proud! Although we may not know each other I am so proud of you. It’s a huge step to take to go and do a new type of work and still be proud of yourself. I love how the shot went and I think you should too. I am so exited to see the great work soon. Now I can say to my friends and family in the cinemas my favourite RUclipsr did that clip! But it’s not just about that is about the journey and the work you put in, but I hope you understand that I will always be supporting you even if I cant watch all the vids you do.
    Won’t keep you long.

    10,000% understand the overwhelm and imposter syndrome with getting an amazing opportunity and then working on it. It's like it's "supposed" to feel magical because it's your dream! But it turns out to be terrifying and uncomfortable but in the end, well worth it once you get a bit more used to it. Generally if you're uncomfortable, you're growing and you'll be so much happier when you're out the other end and can look back at what brilliant work you did in order to get where you are (of course that doesn't apply to everything and sometimes you do have to get out of the situation to grow and there's no shame in walking out of anything either).
    I love seeing behind the scenes, but it's awesome seeing *behind* the behind the scenes 😂 it gives great insight into not only the astonishing amount of work animators do but also the personal journeys within themselves too. A lot of love and care, sweat and tears go into the work and you deserve to be proud of yourself!

It took me right back to my childhood, my friends dad printed on stationary from his garage and I used to pay him for flipbooks to make cartoons. I also will never forget how much I laughed when the penguin lands in the bottle in The Wrong Trousers. Me and my son are bonding together making more flipbooks and looking forward to going to see Chicken Run 2. A chance video has connected my and my son over a huge shared interest. Thankyou.x

    (2:09) I actually didn't know you primarily lived in the US and likely grew up living there. As I came to your RUclips channel from that 'animating one frame in real time' video you posted a while back which I found while researching for a side project I'm working on, I didn't think about it.
    I grew up in and primarily live in Singapore, but am UK and Australian influenced as a result of stuff that are too complex for me to easily explain here. As such, I imagine that I could relatively easily adapt to life in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand, but similar to your experience, I would have a difficult time adjusting to life in the US or Canada. I do already translate some stuff in my mind while watching TV (including RUclips videos), though.
    There are other thoughts in my mind that I had while watching this video, but I can't put those into words. I'm glad you shared your experience in a video.

    Congrats on being an animator for Aardman ^u^ Even though the new Chicken Run didn't feel like the old one or had the same people working on it, it still was really good (I prefer the first movie tho). I'm most happy that it's more popular than Disney's Wish! LET THE SMALLER ANIMATION COMPANIES RISE UP!

    Woow! I got so stressed watching this! Working in Aardman is one of my dreams for future too and as you described your feelings I felt it all the way through. That consuming feeling that the shot could be better... I know it, but also with time you get the distance and start to like what you've done. And you've done amazing job! I hope one day I will set on that journey too :)

    What an encouraging video! Thank you for sharing your experience. It's so neat to see what goes on behind the camera in clay animation. I appreciated your references to Lord of the Rings, and you gave some very thoughtful advice, like "Sometimes good enough is good enough," and that it's better to focus on the 99 things you did right because the 1 issue eventually fades into the whole and becomes part of the charm. I think those ideas can apply to any big undertaking, and keeping them in mind will help you to push through it. I'm looking forward to Dawn of the Nugget, and I'll keep an eye out for that hand-holding scene. God bless!

  • @clarewillison9379
    @clarewillison9379 Год назад +1

    “Good enough is good enough” is good advice, though your shots were as close to perfection as we want from an Aardman film. It’s the human touch that makes the clay live and all humans are imperfect; it’s what makes us human (happily and sadly).
    (When I saw the pirates film I hated it: there was something vital missing. Then I found out they used CAD and CGI to make it ‘in the style of Aardman’. I don’t know if it was bigger budget but it felt a bit too shiny and ‘perfect’ but soulless and there were some logical inconsistencies plus the script wasn’t nearly as good as usual.)
    So, to quote my mum, on receiving a gift made by my sister who kept pointing out all its flaws, “it’s perfect in its imperfection”!
    (Nice running, and love your extra (literal) touch: it’s those tiny things that add up to make Aardman characters feel more real and why people adore them.)

  • @EmeraldDragon101
    @EmeraldDragon101 Год назад

    This is so inspiring to see, thank you. Your shots are incredibly animated and I’ll make sure to look for the hand hold moment when I watch the movie!
    I graduated in animation this year, doing stop motion. And I’m still trying to find a way into the industry. I live in the same city as Aardman, so I’ve known it my whole life, and hope I can make it there one day too.

    Hey Andy, I have been a fan of you and your Andymation channel for a long time now. Thank you for this on-site into your other animation experiences and into your personal life and struggles. That is one of the things I like most about your videos, how you show a bit of you in them.
    I had one question, and this is before I finish watching the video. But wanted to get it out while it was on my mind. When you watch a stop motion film that you have worked on, can you tell the difference between a shot you animated and a shot someone else animated? This is almost a rhetorical question. For the audience, however, I am impressed how the style of the animation seems to flow so seamlessly, even in the little details. It is like having dozens of different actors acting the same part and getting it to look like one.
    Anyway, I also wanted to say, good job. :)

    • @TamTV12
      @TamTV12 11 месяцев назад +2

      Here’s some advice my friend…YOU’RE 17, a baby! Just start anywhere, animate as much as possible whether they’re tests or full fledge short films to build your portfolio; JUST START NOW or you’ll be kicking yourself later. I WISH I was animating when I was 17 but I only got back into it when I was 20/21. Use your time wisely and get on the grind!
