I'm an animation student and recently started animating characters with full, complex rigs. I never really grasped IK/FK, but after listening to your explanation I got 4/4 on your game and immediately know when I need to use IK or FK now! No wonder you got the job xD
"No big deal, I'll work with it!" is what makes you amazing!
As an animator from Kenya.. I'm really inspired by your videos. THANK YOU for the advice and Keep up with the good work. I hope to be working together with you some day. Cheers!
Gosh, my palms were sweating during this video, like as if I were you, even though I was just listening 🤣 I wish I’ll learn to survive stressful situations with same courage as you did! (And video-game of yours was just amazing 😂😂 great acting skills really!) you’re awesome! Keep up good work and thank you for sharing stories about getting jobs and interviews and how all this stuff usually goes. As a person from a different country having no working-for-a-foreign-studio experience, I have no idea how it all works and what I need to be ready for, and your videos help a lot!!! Thank you! 🙏
Dang.. I never thought thinking like 8 steps ahead for the future would be so important.
This is useful information, thank you very much!
Something I'd like to hear about is "now that you have joined Dreamworks but not as an animator, what are you currently doing in order to try get into the animation department?"
I'm really enjoying this series so far, keep at it!
Ooh, that's a good question, I'll definitely go into that! Thank you!! =D
Constraints video please, this was amazing.
Ooh good call! Added to my list!
This is inspiring.
Oh my gosh just hearing your interview experience gave me anxiety. I probably wouldn't have thought of solutions that quick!!
Thanks for making these videos. I’m not an animation person at all (more on the business and tech side) but I got a phone screen at DreamWorks. Your video helped me figure out what they’re looking for and how to combat typical interview things (nervousness and things going wrong). I hope things go well. 🤞🏽 But again, thanks for sharing your experiences. You’ve got a new follower. The animation process is fascinating and I like how you present it. Ps I love liar liar 👀
Thank you so much for all these wonderful episodes of your journey from self-taught to a professional instructor at DreamWorks. It would be more motivational and pushing to the fellow artists like me if you keep doing episodes like these. HIGHLY MOTIVATIONAL! Looking forward for your next ones! Thanks a lot.
the claw was from "Liar Liar"
You're a great teacher. Watching you explain FK and IK controls was very interesting to me, and I wanted to learn more from you. When my teacher was explaining it to my in my 3D animation class, it was quite boring and hard to understand.
This is simply great! A great inspiration!
Its so nice to see how and what we need to do in an interview especially if its a big studio who are always looking for something extraordinary in you.
I'm glad you liked it! I just had someone get hired at DWA last week who watched this video to help prepare for theirs- I guess it must've helped because they work here now hahaha
Wow I love those "how to become an animator" videos! Thank you for making them. They helped a lot!
I'm glad you liked them! I'll hopefully have some more stuff up soon :)
keep teaching. You are so good at it, i understand most of your things. Thanks.
You've had an amazing journey! I follow this series with the same ambition you probably had at my age. I hope one day I can make it big like you.
I love everything you listed at the end and would love to see them all, but if nothing else tutorials would be fantastic. I am a aspiring animation student and enthusiast, but still working around the kicks of the art. I love your videos and how you explain things in easy to follow directions. You give me hope that one day I can become a great animator like you. Hopefully soon.
Wow, you have such an inspirational story! I'm coming from a theatre costume design background trying to figure out how I can re-orient myself as a self-taught character designer an animator. This is the stuff that gives me hope the grind will pay off! Of course this is two years late, but congratulations on your accomplishment!
I wish I could work in the art department at Dreamworks...
Keep working at it! You'll get there!
Are you still working towards getting there?
@@petarpehchevski3d338 no
These videos have been so helpful! As a junior in high school right now I'm trying to figure out what career I should pursue. Animation has come up a lot in my mind. I been doing a bunch of research on schools and the career it's self. Your story is good one and really gives that insider view of the process.
Thank you! I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful! A good indicator that I came up with is: What are you doing to procrastinate when you should be working or being productive? The answer, to a point, may help inform what you should pursue as a career you're passionate about =)
omg parent constraints exist? that would make it SO MUCH easier! also i saw "Ik/Fk handles" in my comp animation class but i never understood them... until you! you're an amazing teacher
Sketchbookofhorror1
it’s only a beginner class in high school lol! i did learn a lot, it’s just that we didn’t learn as much as i wanted to.
it’s just a little taste of maya!
we only learned from an online article on how to use maya though. not really how to make animations (my teacher was very nice and encouraging, but he’s more of a US history teacher than an arts one)
i plan on going to college and getting a degree in animation, so i’m glad i have a little experience in maya :D
I got the 4 questions right, I swear!!
Wow, talk about nailing an interview. Well deserved position, thanks for sharing.
wow this is a blow mind video! thank you for sharing your experience I really love it!!
"it's the claw" from liar liar i think :)
OMG thank you so much, this has really helped me
Wow your videos are really informative and what I liked the most is how you improved the videos as the episodes went on like adding background music but thats besides the point hearing your story on how you went all this to help find what you wanted to do in college is inspirational im kinda in a limbo right know myself with whether to pursue 2d animation or other majors. Also looking forward to where you take this channel.
Haha thanks for noticing!! That's a tough call, I think I'll be making a video soon to talk about different fields in animation (2D/3D/VFX/etc) so let me know any questions you've got!
Thank you for your videos, it's really helpfull and interesting ! I wasnt expecting interviews to be like that, this is good to know :D
Thx for this great series, it's so great to be able to follow your story and hard work. I'm only sorry I didn't discover it sooner.
About suggestions for future videos. The thing I personally struggle with is maintaining the timeline clean so that it's easy to re time, re space parts when need be.
I know I should always make a key for all parts of a character on all frames but somehow I always find efter animating a while I have keys all over the place. And it especially pertain to this topic of constraints. Meaning when I have some limb constraint to a prop and I move keys around the whole animation goes tits up (excuse the expression )as I start moving keys around.
On my latest animation attempt I have the character morph/transform in the middle of the animation, and to even be able to access those controls you have to enter a special mode of the rig which make those keys not visible on the timeline after you go back to the regular mode. So same thing happens here, once I try to re time every thing goes bad as those keys for the transformations are not moved. I've love to show you the show I'm talking about and have a conversation about it someday if you have the time.
So I'd like a tutorial on how to make sure we have selected all of the rig when we key?
I start all animations by keying everything on the first frame.
And there is something called character sets to use in Maya, but I don't feel confident how to use them?
I know lots of rigs comes with a select all ctrls option and that we can make our own quick selection sets.
So what I do is use either that or just marquee select all the nurbs curves in the rig making polygons not selectable.
And create my own select all quick select button.
But as I said somehow I get keys all over the place even though I do use that.
And how do we offset things without ending up with keys all over the place?
I find for instance when animating the extremities like fingers, feet controls etc I get a really messy timeline with keys everywhere. And after that fact how do I retime my animation?
I've tried selecting all the keys and use the scale keys tool, but then I end up with keys between the frames.
And when that happens, I know there is a snap keys to nearest frame option, but then I get keys on top of one another. It's not seen on the time line but sure is in the grapheditor.
I'm sure you know what I mean by that. Again that is very prominent when using constraints.
So maybe my problem is that I do the offset part to soon, meaning that I should perhaps make sure my animation has the right timing before doing that step?
So a tutorial on blocking and passes would be great. When to do what basically.
And I also regularly struggle with gimbal lock, so if you have some great tips on how to avoid that would also be great?
Final question do you ever use the Dopecheet?
I've asked many animators but very few seem to use it.
I know there is a great tutorial by a very famous animators animating Moses and the 10 commandments on the stone tablets that uses the dopecheet extensively, I don't recall his name now though.
Again cheers for this great videos,I'll sub for sure.
About constraint I did this for a friend a long time ago.
vimeo.com/105907742
I'll add you on Linkied In too if you let me?
good job!! you are so amazing, you know. if i was you i would have been fainted in the interview. niccceeee
Haha thank you!
That was great! You definitely earned the job, coming up with solutions under so much pressure! As for an idea for future videos, it would be cool if perhaps you demoed a shot from start to finish in episodic parts like this? It could be an 11 second club or something. Anyways, keep it up!
That's a fun idea! Are you thinking longer real-time videos that take a ton of episodes, or a more time-lapse sped-up process to watch it happen throughout one video, showing iterations and playblasts throughout the process?
I think the sped-up version would be great. Kinda like this series, but the episodes could be Planning, Blocking, Blocking Plus?, Polish, or however you work. This is asking a lot, so don't worry about it if it's too much work. Woohoo!
I like it! I'll look into what it'll take me to make it happen! Thanks!!
Dream works, you are the best company with the best animated movie ever which is how to train your dragon, no one can hate you guys, except the people who doesn't have a mind
I learned lessons from a video I didn't expect to learn them from. They were extremely engaging, so I'm glad this has got a good ending. Also, it's upsetting there aren't too many that've watched Liar Liar. (Originally, when you said Jim Carrey movie, I thought it would have been one of the Ace Ventura movies. He's got some great hand acting)
man, if you star doing tutorials, I will love you forever! I can see you're a great teacher. I'm doing a short animation for a college project and I've been having problems with rigging my character. You will be so helpful if you could do a tutorial for that.
Hmm, what types of rigging questions might you have? Or maybe- what are you trying to accomplish? I'm not the most knowledgeable with rigging, but I know a bit, hopefully enough to help!
Hey! Thank you for answering! So I have a simple character that I have to animate. My project is a short animation of 1 min but I don't know how to rig, I'm trying to learn how to rig the body but I only need the upper part of the body (hands and arms) and the face because I want my character to have different expressions.
I've been looking around RUclips and You can find many tutorials for rigging but I think you would be more helpful. But man up to you, is just a request. 🙂🙂
Thank you for replying anyways ✌🏻🤚🏻
Oh okay, so the rig is to be used for one or two projects, and doesn't have to be that advanced then, right? Just enough to animate for this project? If you can email me the model I can take a look to get an idea of what's needed =) me@sirwade.com
Really? You're the best thank you!
This is awesome video and trying to get a grasp of how it works in a studio. I'm currently doing the course at AM and it would really helpful if you are able to do a video of constraints in a interactive and fun way so we don't forget things and not feel too stressed thinking about constraints. Thank you very much for all of your videos!
That's exciting!! What class are you in and which mentor do you have? :D I do plan on doing a constraint video- that's a good idea, a lot of people get stuck on those!!
Yes its exciting! Am currently in class 05 with Dave Burgess. Thank you for doing the video. I just would like to know if I can ping you on fb messanger if I kind of need some help :)
Oh that's awesome! I met Dave a few times at work but didn't get to know him too well- he seemed super nice though! And crazy talented. And yeah definitely! Add me on Facebook :) I'm not the best at replying super quick so forgive me if I take awhile to get back to you.. But you're absolutely welcome to reach out and I'll do my best!
Questions! (I have many...)
1. Is storyboarding a job? Like a whole job? Or is that just a step in the process? Do they hire someone to storyboard and then someone else to design characters and someone else to model them and someone else to rig them and someone else to animate them, or does one person do it all?
2. Is there a lot of rotation of workers? I feel like I kind of see the same names for producers and directors and it scares me into thinking there's only a job open once somebody dies or quits. Is this the case or does every new movie or project open new opportunities for people?
3. Was it more important in your application that you did animation mentor or that you portfolio of work was good? Is it where you go or what you make?
4. What's your job like? Do you actually do any animation or are you always just teaching other people how to? Is it where you want to stay?
5. How do you move up in the company? Say go from animator to supervisor of animation or something. Would this involve simply applying for jobs within the company or is it based on seniority or...?
6. The estimated median salary for an animator is usually around 60-65k online. Is it way more than that at Dreamworks because it's such a big brand name?
7. Do you think a master's degree in film would be good to get before or after gaining job experience? (say you go to college, should you do all 6 years at once or finish your 4, get a job, and see about getting a master's degree once you're ready to advance career-wise).
8. Do you know how to be come a director, producer, or art director? Degrees/ Starting from the bottom/ what is the bottom/ how to move up/ ect.
9. What growth would you like to see for yourself at Dreamworks?
FANTASTIC questions!!! I'm going to be answering pretty much all of them in the Q&A I just posted, and the next Q&As I post in the next week or so- I wanted to get into detail on your questions without destroying my hands by typing a whole novel of an answer =P So go check those out for the answers to your questions! =)
I want to make one good movie animation I had that dream since I was a kid, but I never actually have a opportunity to it. Thank you so much for sharing with us about how to get into your dreams job. I am try to learn everything by myself and I hope I can create one good movie in my life time.
Thank you for sharing this!
please do videos how to prepare your model for animation, al the riging, skining stuff and how to create all the controls for character and facial animation
Wooow, they were super nice and patient with you O_o
In many cases it's like: "You didn''t get the memo? Sorry, NEXT!"
Great video! I can see why you got the job, you're incredibly engaging. Congratulations
Thank you!! I appreciate that :) A question for you! What would be more interesting to you: More continuing episodic stories of what's happened since that video's events, or the other types of videos I've been doing- focused more on animation topics?
You're very welcome. Since I'm not an animator (FX guy here), episodic stories of what's happened since this video sound great to me, although I'm probably not representative of your audience!
I mean, you're here- So you're part of the community now! Gotta make sure there's something that brings value to everyone regardless if they're animators! :D What kinds of FX do you do? I'm literally sitting in a Houdini FX demo right now haha
Your attitude is good enough value already! That being said, hearing more about your experiences in the industry would be fantastic. I'm a Houdini guy! Currently studying and freelancing, with a potential studio role in the pipes for the new year. My reel's here if you feel like checking it out: vimeo.com/238720380
Dude your reel is awesome!! I recognize the dancer smoke emitter mesh from the Visor in Maya haha, great stuff in there!! I'd love to interview you on the channel or something to talk about your experience learning Houdini and doing freelance while studying if you'd be interested :) But yeah I can definitely aim for more industry experience videos- I'm hoping to get some of the FX guys from DWA to come on and talk about what they do too- so hopefully that works out and you can get something out of that too!
Imagine getting offer letter from dream work 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍.
Thankyou so much😍😍😍
You're the man!
No, you're the man!!
Thanks for this video and all others !I am 18yo and I would love to become 3d animator :D keep going filming!!
Thank you! Just posted the new one, thanks for hangin' in there!
This is great
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS! You are a great teacher!
Some ideas for future videos:
- I am really interested in different approaches to the blocking process of a scene. There are many videos showing this process, the sad part is that they are always short and fast forward lots of details. It would be amazing if you could share a long video or a live where you gave tips about blocking, keys and breakdowns step by step.
- Cool ways to use MEL scripts or little code tricks specifically good for anim.
- Applying constraints, aim and orients to rigs so that, for example a tail, follows a motion path or we can alter rigs in interesting ways to give them some physics (there is a video that I loved but I can´t fully catch up with his tips vimeo.com/297804505 they are amazing!).
- I was animating a walk cycle where the character then stops or walks slower and then gains back the speed he had. I´ve always wondered if I can get through this with anim layers but sadly no one seems to be able to help me with this...
Congratulations on your job at DreamWorkssss! Keep it up ;)
Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! on my birthday, that's nice and I hope its a good sign :-). Go on Sir Wade!! I hope to be "more" like you in future. I'm currently learning blender and I don't even know if I am in the right path cos its time consuming and seems hard and its like am getting no better but animation is really what i want to do. Help!!!
Thank you for sharing your experiences on becoming an animator. From dream to reality!
A part of my life I like to learn to animate first person interactions for my videogame project, would you please make a tutorial Sir Wade?
Your an amazing person
Great video!
You have a new subscriber!
I remember learning all of this
I think I’m harder on myself then others and I guess as a animator creating his own Studio I got no other choice as I’m my own boss and gotta be this way to manage myself. 🤓 Oh and I haven’t become an animator yet. Still got more practicing and learning to do. 🤨
Thanks for sharing your experience with us about your interview at dreamworks! One of my favourite studio! I always been curious about how would an interview in a big studio could look like.... also that Ik/fk game was cool! I sometimes struggle whether to use ik in blocking to make things fas or fk to avoid elbow pops.... and i understand even more now when to use both.. and even vombiming both is sometimes stressful is even better than try to do things with only one when the both are needed.. so i am going to keep this in mind a lot ( i actually saw your video about it too) i am a junior animator, studied at canada but for some reasons couldn’t stay there but i got a tjob recently so i really need to push myself and would love to go back.. but have lost motivations when my lead doesn’t have enough patience so i lost track and lay behind then sometimes is difficult snd i have tought i am not good at this... but watching your video got me realy inspired today! I have suscribed looking forward to any tips and more...
Woah, that was one heck of a rollercoaster ride you went through, BIG RESPECT man :D
After I graduate from my animation course, I want to work with you at DreamWorks, man. :D
You're a real inspiration, thanks for making these videos, I hope these videos keep coming, btw I'm currently working on an OJT film and could I ask you some tips when rigging humanoid characters? Thanks :)
Haha thanks!! Hope to see you working here someday!
And yeah definitely, what kinds of questions do you have? I'm not the best help on rigging, but I'll do my best!
Well.. i am also aiming to become an animator. Your videos really encourage me. I really wish to see your work (on which you are working) or especially the one you showed at the time of interview at Dreamworks if you can. I am gladly looking forward to it. :)
I showed all my interview content in this video 🙂
Oh. kay.. Thanks for it. I will watch it again. ;p
Congrats on your job at dreamworks.
did you get lessons on primo with Tim Ingerssol? He was my ianimate teacher, such a great guy, great personality! =)
Yeah he and I were coworkers and are now good friends! :D He taught me Premo so that I could take it over after he left! Such a great guy
It would be really great if you could interview people who went through the last classes of animation mentor while working at a demanding full time job or master degree or just something that's very demanding
"The Mask" thing was great.....Thank you for the video...very Inspiring... I am going back to animation after working as a Motion Graphics Artist & Graphic designer for 5 years.....I have my previous 5 years experience in 3D character animation...But Im super nervous this time.....Any suggestions? Please....
My only really useful suggestion is just to challenge yourself every day to create or learn something new! Whether it's you experimenting or following a tutorial- create every day!
Yeah that's a great tip....Thank you for replying back....
You got it! :D
my god the day next 0_) my interview song is the final countdown
Ooh that's a good one!
If you could do a tutorial where you share tips on how to make poses/idle animations or animations in general feel more natural and relaxed that would be great, i'm a sophomore in animation right now and i love working on stuff in my free time, and by free time i mean staying up till 7 am on the weekends animating things. Thank you!
lol Lol the movie is Liar Liar!!! this is a very interesting interview
great video dude, i am looking into going to animation mentors(referring your experience video ep.4) im curious about this experience you had with the miscommunication between recruiter and dreamworks. is there anything that could have been done to prevent that looking back at it now? like so that future interviews one would know for sure what is being looked for???
cause dude that effin suck that that happened but you did the best you could which was impressive!
Good question! I think it was just a fluke, I probably could have made sure the file was in dropbox or google drive or something for good measure.. But it ended up working out to my benefit since it helped me show grace under pressure- so I'm SO happy everything went wrong!!
I love your videos!!!!!😸😸😸
Would love a constraint vid!
That's one of the next ones I want to film! :)
I am seeing hiccup's picture behind you
Hey, i got here by mistake but your channel is really good! It could help to Know a bit more Software wise on animation if possible, a behind the scenes is not bad either, it could be really interesting. Keep doing this, ive learned a ton in a couple of videos..
Glad you found it! Happy to help! :) Good suggestions I have some things planned I think you'll like!
Stay awesome👏
I got 3 out of 4
My first job was also January 4th but 2020
i love your Videos . know i can imagine how it is to go to an interwiew and other things . i' m 13 years old and i ' m from germany . i' m working since 1 year with maya . ( my father help me sometimes ) . Before that i worked 1 year with blender . in a few years i want to work in Animation Industry too.
You're going to have such a huge advantage if you keep working at it from your age! Hopefully these videos help and encourage you to keep going! And let me know if you have any questions so I can answer them in my Q&As =)
Sir Wade Neistadt thank you very much for your answer . i ' m thinking about if i have any questions .
ohnezahnfan 272 As you are 13, I hope you are wearing computer glasses so to preserve your eyesight. As you are an artist, your eyesight is important to your future career.
Wow
Working at dreamworks is my dream
The Claw is from Liar Liar
can u make tutorials for Maya animation
I will! :D
Sir Wade Neistadt .. I am an animator from India . I want join dream work . So what the prosegger ...
Hello sir, I'm currently pursuing my animation degree and would love to hear from you about what kind of animation is expected in demoreel of a fresher student? Love from India!😊
I really would love to work with you someday , because like you i also dream to become an animator in dreamworks. Its really exiting. Could you make videos on how to use the Maya software please
Thank you! Could you give an idea of the animation landscape? I've always been interested in film and cartoons, and your videos are inspiring, but don't know what the opportunities are if I am interested to answer the question of where I see myself in five years for a career in animation.
Hi! If you don't mind me asking, I am curious to hear what you majored in and where you went for college?
+Emma I did a whole video on my college stuff if that helps 😄 I was a CS major before I left regular college to do Animation Mentor
I graduated college with computer science degree but I'm always interested in becoming animation designer. I don't have much experience on animation except I can draw and love watching animation movies but I really want to learn how to become one. Any advice?
I was wondering, I'm about to enter a four-year-study on animation and I came on the idea to, I don't know how to call it.. Here in Holland you get sent somewhere to work as a volunteer but for school. I have no idea if that's the same in America. Anyway, I was thinking if I could in some miraculous way, work as a volunteer forced by school in DreamWorks. I saw on the website you guys love students coming there, but would I be able to? I'd love to know!
Please make a tutorials on animations
I want to try how to get into 3D rigging and animating those rugs
hey i'm enjoying this and i laughed so much to it just asking why didn;t you bring your laptop ?
Haha well, I wsn't sure I was going to be able to connect into their hardware- I thought bringing my own laptop might be a security issue of some kind, trying to connect into their systems since it wasn't just a projector in a room type of setup...
Looking back that may have worked out just fine hahaha. Although I think I was only working on desktop at the time? Maybe that's why :P I forget!
I'm working on a presentation for an English class and was wondering if you could answer a few questions? What are your degree(s)s in? What is the eviroment in which you work in like? What would you say is the most important aspect to have at an animation interview? Thank you. SKW
1) I actually never finished regular school to get a degree, I left to join Animation Mentor- which is more of a vocational trade school with a certificate at the end, but it's not a degree. In the animation industry though, it's not going to be any sort of a hindrance since everything is based on your ability to do the work 🙂
2) the work environment at DreamWorks truly feels like a college campus. The level of community and open communication between everyone from interns to directors and Executives is incredible. It's fast-paced and highly skilled, with everyone learning and growing every minute of the day. But it's also a place to have fun and stay fresh among an ever growing and evolving industry.
3) I think the most important thing is to be authentic and genuine. To show Who You Are personally, because your resume and cover letter will help convey who you are professionally. People want to make sure you're able to do the work, but those skills can be taught! As long as you show promise, talent, and a passion to learn and grow- everyone would be more concerned whether you're a nice person and fun to work with. So be confident! If you get to a point where you're interviewing at a studio, you have something to be proud of, and if you haven't gotten there yet- you have a goal to strive for and tons of people in the industry willing to help you achieve it!
I hope that helps, let me know if you need any other questions answered! Good luck 😄
Sir Wade Neistadt Thank you so much for actually answering me. It helped me a lot.
I'm glad!! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
post the small animations that you do ,u'll we sucessful
Hey your episodes are completely amazing and very educative and you're doing a great job,
The thing I wanna know is will there be any different between game animation and movie animation and can u suggest me how to become a game animator and what is the best collage to go to
Thank you
There's sometimes a quality difference, usually due to the amount of time that available for the artists to work on the project before release, and sometimes some technical differences with mocap or cycle animations but all the same principals still apply!
can you make a video how to make a breakdown vfx ?
have you worked on any big dreamworks movies that we know of?
Techh VE I think he worked on the Boss Baby
A tinnnnny bit on Kung Fu Panda 3, a bunch of work on Trolls, Boss Baby, and HTTYD3 :)
HTTYD3!?! OMG
Hey man i love your story it's great i have a few questions for you and for anyone who reads this im a sinior in high school and i cant decide whether I want to study 3D animation or computer science what do you guys think i should do?
If you could do a tutorial on how the parenting feature on maya works I would love you 😂
Wow, you look like you are so confident for those interviews, how do you stay calm? I have to present some art projects for my degree and i just keep having panic attacks, i would really love some advice
For me, it helps to try to use humor when things are at a neutral point, to try to get people (and myself) comfortable in the situation, and I really just try to remember that I am where I'm supposed to be in the moment, and that whatever I do is what will happen. Like, at whatever time you're feeling stressed, just know that in another hour or so it will have been completed, and I find that comforting! That time will go on and all I have to do is to try my best so that in an hour I can say "well I did everything I could do, and that's all that I could have done" For me, those things help me stay calm and grounded :)
@@SirWade I'll keep that in mind! thank you very much!
I have a quick question, and I don't know if you will be able to answer or even have time to answer, but I have always been passionate about stories and creating different worlds in my head and love laying those stories onto a screen, but don't know where to start. How do I even take the first step in trying to work for Dreamworks as a writer, if it's even possible?
Did you live near dreamworks at the time of the interview? I'd have to fly out to interview... I feel like being out of state puts me at a huge disadvantage. What do you think? Knowing what the recruiters are looking for? Is having to wait a month or few weeks to relocate an issue? Thanks!
