I've gotta say at the beginning of the video I was like what's he doing? he's throwing away this amazing opportunity but man, you need guts to pursue what you really wanna do, especially when it means putting on hold part of your dreams. I'm impressed, and I really admire you for making that decision, you're still young so I hope you get to do amazing things this year and when you're ready I really hope you get an animation job!
THE NERD I am 13 years old. I do not have ony idea how is work there. But it is my dream. If I want to work there, I need to study english for be better (all of my english I’ve learned by myself) and I need to improve my 3D design, because I did started whem I was 12. But I still bad ‘~’
@@samayameirelles1521 Damn, you started when you were 12? You're already ahead of everybody. Honestly just keep working on projects you love, and build a portfolio. Right now I'm going into college for animation. Don't worry about how to get there. At your stage, enjoy what you love to do, and the journey will unfold itself. Good luck to the both of you.
You left DreamWorks to try becoming a RUclipsr... ouch. I really hope you succeed here, dude. I feel like if you try going back to DreamWorks you might get turned down for choosing to leave the company for doing something this risky. The feeling of regret for losing your chance to be a part of something would be the worst thing in the world. So don't fail at RUclips, man. Good luck
I don't know about RUclips stuff but of course if you succeed in making your own business it will be better than any job.I think if you try several fields (two at least) of work instead of just one it will be more safe for you so if you fail in one you may succeed in the other fields.Hope to you success & happiness.
Easy Dreams I respect your opinion.But I think you may be working on plan A and later on you realize the whole plan was wrong from the beginning. So there will be a gap between plan A and a new plan A. Living that gap without any income will be painful. Also if you put all your money on plan A you will not be able to start a new plan.
Big news Wade! Been watching your videos and your progression from the start. Congrats on the marriage and the biggest luck for your future. As an animator myself, I can imagine saying goodbye to one of the biggest Animation companies in the world was super tough (Because we all want to be working there forever and ever ! ) but you seem to have a plan so stick to it and good luck! Keep the awesome videos coming
You’re inspirational! I am also working towards a freelance animation career and your journey to becoming an animator has been very helpful in my own pursuit. I hope you succeed in doing what you love and helping others (including myself) do what they dream of doing!
I respect your decision, I know it had to be really tough. I am working towards becoming a character animator myself at 43. Dreamworks is of course on my list of studios I would love to be a part of.
Congratulations on taking that leap of faith! I know it's a hard decision, one that I'm trying to figure out myself, but after discovering your channel I look forward to your journey. Also, so your Palette Gear in the background so I'll definitely be checking out your video on that, that equipment looks super awesome. Best of luck!
Hey man. Just found your channel from your review of the XP-Pen tablet and I have to say I am blown away by the professionality of your channel. If you ever find yourself travelling to South Africa, you'll find plenty of animators to hang out with, myself included! Best of luck going forward!
What you are doing is actually very inspirational! I am quite sure you won't regret your decision, and I look forward to following your successful journey.
Hey there haha, Okay so having a few videos that succeeded a lot in views, and a few that didn't, I think I'm beginning to get a sense of what people want to see and what they don't. Now you, my friend, are definitely something people want to see. I just wanted to say that I really think you got something here! You have a great idea for a channel, you're a cool guy and you have a lot to offer. Although you're getting not too many views right now, I really think you're gonna grow soon. I would just suggest you work more on attracting people, like work on thumbnails and stuff. For example what you did in this video when you started talking about not knowing if you could have been an animator in httyd 3 was amazing! I GOT SO HOOKED! Anyway, I'm sorry this is long but I just wanted to say you're talented and I really like your videos so far, and I'm looking to see more! Good luck ((:
Hi Sir Wade. Good for you for taking the chance. I'd say do it while you are young! Your life experiences(traveling, meeting new people, doing things you normally wouldn't do) will definitely come in handy not only as an animator but as a great story teller! Best of luck to you!!!!
Enjoy this time as much you can! You'll have all the time in the world to make kids and still do crazy stuff! I'm 41, four kids (2 adults and 2 teenager) and I'm going back to the university in 3D and visual effects for movies! Good luck!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You looked All Pumped Up for the new start. Though this video had some emotional connect, as your decisions about personal goals and family. It is wonderful to have guide like you here on youtube. You are doing a great work and it is so much needed here. Thankyou and will definitely ask you questions in future. Salute !
i am currently in same situation i am pursuing comp.sc. and started to learn about animation because i love drawing and creativity excited to see what will come in next video
Sir ! I follow you since a start my Animation 3d School and now i finally graduate !! You are one of my inspiration men ! I really enjoy you re Video ! I WANT TO BECAME A ANIMATOR ! And i am on the great way now eheh. Hi from france ! Waiting for u re next video !
Love the way you talk with passion!! Gives me strength to follow my dreams too. You remind me of my ex-best friend, Alexandre Soares, I really miss that dude. Wish you the best! Good Luck.
Abit tooo late in watching your videos though but it’s pretty clear that u r really a awesome compassionate guy . Annnnnd best of wishes for ur new journey
Fully supportive of your decision! I'm excited to see the future videos and possible tutorials to be made on this channel. I personally, would love to see some general Maya tutorials as I am new to that software and slowly learning it. Good luck! :)
We really enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. As animation artists we know the struggles and successes that come with it. So we wish you all the best, amazing, stupendous success on this adventure you and your wife are taking. You have our support and we can't wait to see what next for you!! Keep creating and being awesome!
Nice dude. Have you seen Michelle Swann? She's a friend of mine I graduated with years ago. She's been there for 3 years as a Character TD. Like the videos, keep them up!
While you were at Dreamworks, did you notice if they said anything about looking for voice actors and actresses for any of they're upcoming films and/or any kind of casting calls? Or can you not say...
Hi wade! I know I am watching kinds late but I feel I totally relate to your story! I have let some opportunities pass me just so that I could enjoy this reckless phase of my life. I just want to travel, learn and meet other artists before I settle down on an amazing job!!
1:18 [Me] "It's too bad he's leaving. I would never leave." 1:57 [Me] "Oh God, look at that amazing stuff." 4:24 - 4:48 Holy God, I'm so happy. It's beautiful!!
You had your foot in the door - and you left. You may not have got this gig, but what about the next movie, or the one after that? The chance to rub shoulders with those people and in seeking advice....you had the chance of being mentored by the best - and you left. Ouch. In 20 years, you will be FACEPALM!!! Asking yourself "What was I thinking??"
It's called taking a risk and not having everything figured out. If he was able to get his foot in the door the first time, he can do it a second time. Risks and following your gut are what make life interesting.
Taking such a decision takes guts, but it's an amazing thing to do. Animating and traveling with your wife : that's the dream ! :D All good things to you both ! Since you're gonna be traveling, if possible, I think it would be a great opportunity to interview animation artists from many different studios (big and small) from many different countries and cultures. Looking forward to see what's next !
Oh my GODD.. do not know how to put in a words.. but some how just after watched your video... I feel WAAW. and Im glad, that I've watched this entire video .. thanks for sharing
Salute bro! all the best on ur latest endeavor. I'm an animator and I would've killed just to be a part of Dreamworks haha , ur a brave man. " Fortune favors the brave" .
Solid videos man! A heads up, I found your channel after watching your xpen tablet review. I think a cool video would be one about how you create your music. I've subscribed. I look forward to more great content!
Thanks dude! I appreciate that!! A lot of my music comes from this website actually, here's my ambassador link to get the free trial so you can download stems to build/customize songs! :) share.epidemicsound.com/sirwade
Hi! I am a young 3D animator and I just wanted to tell you thank you for your videos on RUclips... So few people make the effort to share their experiences. I feel less alone in my decisions of career and life. Can't wait to see your next sharings! :D Please, tell us more about your future organisation in your "risk year", how you both handle it. (Or trying to handle it :D) The best for both of you
I don’t know if you’ll see this, but do you know if they would hire any hand drawn animators? Like if they wanted a credits scene to be hand drawn, or if it was like Captain Underpants where parts of it are 2D?
Generally no, I don't think for that purpose. If 2D stuff comes up, there's a ton of people already working there who have 2D experience or a desire to learn it that would take on those scenes, so there's really not a need for them to hire people just for those occasions. There are exclusively 2D positions out there, but usually not at the big studios that mainly produce 3D content
@@SirWade Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you so much for letting me know because that definitely helps me to know whether or not to aim for working at DreamWorks or not. I would love to storyboard or something or do character design, even if it was for one of their Netflix shows or something, but I guess I'll just have to see what happens.
this is so amazing and inspiring because i would love to work at dream works when im older!! and im a huge fan of httyd. i think watching your journey could really help me in the futer it was super cool to hear all of that thank you!!
You know I have the same thought toward work life I wanna work for a big studio like Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks ...but I fear that I will feel comfortable there and not try new things, I don't want to conform to one thing in this world even if it is my dream, I wanna explore more....you are right!! working for DreamWorks is a dream come true for me too but I still wanna do some new crazy things and get paid for it or not and I prefer to have a skill that big studios want rather than dreaming to work for one studio... I always enjoy learning new things first then applying what I learn and face the challenge kind of gives me a meaning in life...I Really get you, thanks for sharing this...
damn man most animators would kill to get a job at dreamworks lol, but you know what, being on your deathbed knowing the answer to what if i took that year off is more valuable. nice channel man you're a good instructor
You 100% made the right decision. I’m 50, have two kids and am only now doing the entire fun/travel/whatever bit as I had my first child fairly young and of course you just can’t take to many risks when you have a family. Who knows what and where you might be in five years, could be somewhere way more exciting than even Dreamwirks, but if it all turns to mush, you can get back into Dreamworks (or wherever) as the talent that got you there in the first place isn’t going to disappear overnight. Well done, brave and right decision 🤘😎🤟
Can you maybe tell me why visual development interns need to be familiar with Maya? What kind of things they need to do (except 3D modeling and animating of course) - I was wondering why Storyboarders for example need to know Maya in Dreamworks? I only know that people use Storyboard Pro or TV Paint?
I'm a very aspiring 2D animator and I want to do freelance someday. I'm currently trying to find schools for it and I've been practicing/learning a lot. I'm new to your channel and I'll consider watching your other videos on animation! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Sir Wade Neistadt, new subscriber and new fan. I will be attending college for animation next semester and start my way to become an Animator, my dream career!!. Please keep making videos the way you have been doing them, they are a lot more informative and really helped me (and others for sure) understand what it really takes to be an animator. Anyway, good luck on your next step in life and career in animation. My name is Raymond and my wife's name is also Jessica. LOL!!
Hi I’m one of your subscribers. I really interested in animation industry and i watched your videos. I think you are totally AWESOME and this video is quite motivative. It feels like you’re going through with challenges and you’re enjoying it.. Sorry for immature english because I’m Korean Good luck to you!🤞🤞🤞

Sir Wade Neistadt
Maybe like an "animation exaggerating tips and tricks" :D
Looking forward to more interviews! :)
you should make videos on animation, modeling, depth rigging and texturing and also continue your stuff its very helpful and motivated
I would like to see some tutorials. I want to learn more about animation and modeling.
how to properly adjust curves in maya. because if finished your animation its full of curves.. but how do i know what to adjust?
Dreamworks is such an underrated studio. I love it's weird/realistic/sitcom/not taking things too seriously (like Pixar) taste.
Francisco Madrigal underrated?
Lol nobody calls dreamworks underrated
Yeah
dream works is underrated? they are the guys who brought you shrek lmao

Who knows what and where you might be in five years, could be somewhere way more exciting than even Dreamwirks, but if it all turns to mush, you can get back into Dreamworks (or wherever) as the talent that got you there in the first place isn’t going to disappear overnight.
Well done, brave and right decision 🤘😎🤟
Thank you!! I shared your comment with my wife, we really appreciate it!!
Can you maybe tell me why visual development interns need to be familiar with Maya? What kind of things they need to do (except 3D modeling and animating of course) - I was wondering why Storyboarders for example need to know Maya in Dreamworks? I only know that people use Storyboard Pro or TV Paint?
YOU PUT HTTYD IN THE THUMBNAIL!
AND YOU WORKED ON THE THIRD MOVIE!
Omg httyd is my favourite movie
That must have been a very tough decision to make!
Good luck to whatever you have planned to do for the next one year :)
