I hope to be a good artist and a good teacher of animation one day.

Ferdinand is a good teacher, that's why I stick with him for some time.
And about Samantha Youseef, does she still have information online? I couldn't find it.
Edited: I found it

In my opinion Piximperfect, FZD SCHOOL are one of the best teacher I have seen so far. Although, Piximperfect is not related to drawing, painting stuff. He is more of a photographer, designer.

Goodevening sir, i am Hariom and i am from india . Actually sir i am facing issues while exporting it into mp4 file it suddenly crashes whenever i start exporting my animation. What should i do ?

[@FredtheMonkeyDotCom]

What software are you using? First thing to check is that it (and your computer itself) is updated properly. Sometimes crashing can occur simply because of an old version not being compatible with a newer OS or driver. Try restarting your computer, too, and see if the same problem occurs. If that all checks out I definitely recommend contacting whoever makes the software you're using!

If you are going to watch a good speaker, your name will come first....

Don't you think there are good teachers too who are not great artist? It looks weird to me to be taught by someone who is not able to do what he is teaching. Like teacher who want to teach you advanced 3D animation but who had never been a part of a Hight level animation movie. Thats why I'm a big fan of schools like Animation Mentor instead of traditionnal art school. What do you think about it?

[@FredtheMonkeyDotCom]

It is definitely possible to find a good teacher who is not a great artist! Some people are more than capable of explaining how to do things in a clear and engaging way, even if they aren't the best at it themselves. The biggest challenge there is that if someone doesn't DO the activity, they are only teaching theory and not in-practice knowledge. But - and do keep this in mind - some people still put the work in and simply don't reach the heights of greatness. It's just the truth. And so what I would say to be most careful of is a teacher (good or bad) who doesn't put the WORK in. If they do put the work in, they may just not be great. But if they don't put the work in, it is generally not worth taking their art advice, because they are only repeating what someone else has said and they have not gotten the "pencil mileage" to be the strongest teacher they can be.
Of course the best teachers are those who have loads of experience AND are skilled in explaining each step so you can improve your own skills as well. (And, likewise, those folks are pretty rare!)

Hay animatorland i recently talk with my friends they say science is important for animation without that you can't do that. but I'm not a science student does that mean i can't do animation?

[@CarlosFerreira-kaiko]

I think your friends must be talking about basic science, which implies knowing the physical behaviour of what you are going to animate, organic or material objects.
Animating a heavy object falling down from a roof, must have a physical approach to the same object in real life, but it also depends on your animation style, if it's cartoonist, you can get away with some lacks or exaggerations

[@AnimatorIsland]

Some science knowledge is helpful, but you can always learn what you need. It should definitely not stop you from starting.
Like Carlos said, knowing about physics is needed to find the right speed for your motions for example. I explain some of the basics in this video: ruclips.net/video/kj1kaA_8Fu4/видео.html
So just get started, learn the basics and study video reference for whatever you are animating and you will be fine 🙂

[@dillonwright13]

Animation is considered a science in college.

[@forechan3094]

Well that not what I'm say according to them only science student can become animator without maths bio and physics you can't become animator
I'm a commerce student they started saying you idiot can't become animator you need absolutely high scores in maths and physics
I'm depress after those word

Ok.
You can start your first step into animation by running away from stupid people like the ones you have been talking about.
After that, you will be free to think for yourself, which is, by the way, the best way to get success in your life.
EDITED.
I meant Ignorant, and no stupid people. But anyway, they are very close to those meanings
