    Hey Toniko, just wanted to say that your videos are incredible. I love animation so much and finally started learning how to animate a month ago. I LOVE it, and your videos have been amazing for keeping me on track and making sure I know what to learn and look out for. Thank you for putting the time and effort in to help nurture the passion of aspiring animators all around the world.

      Get👏🏻feedbacks👏🏻 ! Read it to friends and family, people you trust, hell even to people you DON’t know who are in the industry and LISTEN. What do they like / don’t like / don’t understand ? What can you do better ? What are they used to ? Does you message came across ? Do not just copy and paste their feedbacks mindlessly or flat out ignore them, but try to understand where they’re coming from. Especially when they’re not used to writing for animation, because they won’t sentenced it the best way.
      do NOT hear. LISTEN !

    I didn't watch the video yet. I don't know if you will ever bother to reply this, but I'm writing this solely based on the title. OFC I'll watch the video later today. It's just that... I have an idea, THE idea for a long animation, more than 1 hour long. The issue? I've NEVER animated anything in my life. I don't know where to start from exactly, I know I'll need good drawing, coloring, shading, lighting and whatever the fuck else lessons and practice. But for how long? God only knows. What softwares to use? I don't wanna pay my kidney to expensive professional subscriptions. I know blender is a good one, but I'm still to find a 2d free software too. Am I crazy? Yes. Delusional? Maybe. But I wanna see this through the very end.

    For me, the idea comes when I drink an excessive amount of coffee or other caffeinated beverage, or maybe take a caffeine pill. It becomes more polished when I become desperate, smoke wееd, and then, after four years and an investment of one blоttеr, five rubles and two bags of rice in North Korea, it's done. You also need to have a database of movie experiences in your head and some skill at drawing a shitty storyboard real quick, because when it rains, it pours, you need to catch the idea when you're in the creative zone. Shit, this is not my twitter, where am I

    This is smart because you probably just want to show your skills to sell yourself as an animator, because at the start people won’t be hiring you as a writer 😅

    Or... collaborate? If you're a visual person; maybe find a comic, story or "something" that you want to use as inspiration. Reach out to other artists! Storytellers, musicians and designers might be delighted to help collaborate. My best stories and creative projects went so much faster and better when there was another person helping to narrow down the options on a project. I'm not very decisive so I find collaboration to really help in my weakest area.
    If you're not great at character design, collaborate with someone who has that as a strength.
    If soundtracks are not your favorite part, collaborate with an audio genius.
    If you're great at fight scenes but need help with writing speaking lines, collaborate!
    If you're a great storyteller but visuals fall flat... you get the picture ;)
    In the West we've been sold this idea of the 'lone creator' or 'lone genius' ...but it's a myth. Michelangelo had a team of 12, Da Vinci had up to 37 artists working with him. Very few great works of art were created by just 1 person, and those were often not appreciated until the artist's death because they completed a fraction of the output a bigger team could do and likely had a harder time making it their full-time thing. What's weird is the modern expectation that one artist can churn out masterpiece after masterpiece without help.
