Does learning about any of these jobs surprise you? What animation jobs are YOU curious about, and should we do a part 2? :) Also! be sure to use the description link for 25% off CuriosityStream documentaries :D
Hi Sir Wade! Can you talk about MoCap? I see lots of people on LinkedIn who work as MoCap Technical Artist... but where can I study to be a MoCap Technical Artist? There are lots of online Animation schools (Animation Mentor, iAnimate, AnimSchool, AnimSquad, etc) and lots of Animation courses in prestigious universities but I can’t find a Motion Capture course anywhere! Where can I learn MoCap from scratch? (for reference, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Film and I have studied animation, including 2D, stop-motion and now 3D).
Part 2 please! And a pipeline video would be great. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do as a career. I said animation for the longest time but now I'm having second thoughts. But I still want to do something in the industry. I can't wait for more videos like this :)
Also jumping on board to request more info on animation/VFX pipelines. There's very little detail available online and a lot of the lecturers in schools haven't worked that high in the field (or at least haven't for a long time) and don't give out a lot of information either. Letting people know what their options are as they join the industry would be extremely beneficial and help students focus their study.
WOW. Three whole fucking minutes for bro to get to the God Forsaken Point. Man, I love his content but, Jesus fucking Christ, please remember us fast-paced people XD.
The Art Department is also another big area with tons of job opportunities. A lot of people and students don't know about this and think that most of the asset creation is solely done by the animators or programmers, when in fact there is a whole separate department for asset creation at most studios. There are Character Artists that focus on modeling and sculpting characters before handing them off to the Riggers and Animators, there are Environment Artists that build out the assets for the virtual set, there are Prop Artists, 2d and 3d Concept Artists, Clothing Artists, Face Sculpting Artists, Blend Shape Artists, Resurfacing Artists, Texture Artists, Look Dev Artists, Lighting Artists. The list goes on. There are SO MANY job opportunities in the CG industry. It's sad that a lot of people don't know about this and think that being an Animator is the only fun and artsy job in the industry. This video and videos like this are great ways of educating students about all the amazing opportunities that lie ahead. Looking forward to seeing more content like this!
@@lajokersingh2878 I’m not exactly an animator, Im actually a Character Artist, but I would suggest to try get your hand on Maya if you can and start getting used to the software. You can also start learning the basic fundamentals of animation and posing, there are many videos on RUclips. I would start with this channel right here. Sir Wade has some amazing videos, most of them catered towards animators.
Hi Wade, I was a 3D animator, Now i work as a Technical Artist. my job comprises of 1)Taking care of pipeline (no coding) . 2)Trouble shooting. 3)Bug finding. 4)Testing new tools. 5)Streamlining the workflow. 6) Bridging gap between CG artists and Programmers. 7)Suggesting new features or implementing new Technologies. 8)Making sure every things works before the start of any new project.
Thats awesome, i'm a generalist but a freelancer one so i have to make everything my self most of the time, hopefully this gives me more experience when/if i get a job at a company instead of freelancing
I visited Nickelodeon Animation Studios about 2 years ago as part of a club tour. Everyone seemed to also say the same thing about being an animator or story board artist when we talked to some of the recruiters. But just walking around their cubicles I saw there's WAY more jobs than just being the main 3. Heck, they have a freaking VR Studio!! That's so sick!!
@@gabeperro7590 Substance is for texture artists and generalists, though. That is more LookDev, which is a bit different from VisDev and comes later in the pipeline.
Kinda wished more businesses actually would have a training department.. like in the factory i work at when a new person comes in just a random employee gets picked and has to teach the new person the ropes... which is pretty taxing if you also have to do your 500% workload
Something that I had to do at FullSail University was researching alternative uses for my degree. I actually found a company in my state that produces Industrial Safety videos like OSHA videos. They use a fair amount of animation and CGI in many of them. So there are even alternative uses for many of the skills.
Id love to hear more about youtube animation or going independent with 2D animation. Im a self-taught 2d animator who pretty much does every aspect of a web animation; storyboard, char models, rigging, editing etc. Id love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Thanks! :)
I went from wanting to be an environmental artist, to prop artist, to modeling, and then I was like they are fun but it's something I wasn't too passionate about. Now animation. Clicked with me in a different way. Basically movements and emotions I find fascinating. And will spend hours upon hours of researching and acting out my own shots as reference. Went from wanting to be working on video games to I want to work on a tv show if I can. I am still learning rigging because I myself want to learn just in case a rigger is needed as well. But I went through everything before I found out what I loved XD
I'm about to go to college for animation, very excited, but I feel it's incredibly important to learn more about the industry. I love 3D art, and while I'm full steam ahead in my choice of degree, I gotta say I have not even THOUGHT about what I'd wanna do in the pipeline, I've dabbled in modelling, compositing, a LITTLE animation, texturing, lighting, etc. But havent found my niche yet, which is another thing college will help me accomplish. As you said, the answer typically is "I wanna be an animator" but it kinda ends there Its hard to think about alllll the things that go into it. Definitely hope you expand on this more in the future!
I’d love to learn about all of the different subjects you mentioned. Also, things like needing to buy a first but strong suitable 3D animation setup for learning games and movie etc. Skills. General art skills needed to support or be the foundation for computer animation etc. Thank you for all your brilliant videos!
I grad in 2010 from Ai's Miami International School of Art & Design, the schools professors, counselors, or even their job placement never made this information viable. Thanks for making this.
I want to make the most of college but I'm having trouble figuring out what job I want to pursue that will let me get into the storymaking of games/tv shows. It's also tough since I don't have a lot of experience.
this video help me feel better about still going to school for vfx after i have finished videogame design. I am hoping it will help me find more opportunity
I am a very big fan of your channel, it's very inspiring to have someone in the industry helping aspiring animators out of his good will. I think that two of the most influential fronts of animation that I believe don't get as much attention as they probably should are Music Video Animations and Short Film Animation. I would love to know if you have anything to say to that. Thank you!
I'm glad more people are talking about this. I personally want to model but I have a friend who wants to go into producing and started a Producers Guild at SCAD and its going very well! There are so many other jobs that schools should start showing more often, or atleast tell animation students about.
Please do more of these, I’m an animation student in game design but I’m not confident in being just an animator so I’m looking for other less intensive options
Hello! I would like to know how you are doing. I'm learning 3d animation currently but just like you I'm not 100% confident I will be good enough and I would like to branch out
This was very interesting and insightful!!! Thank you for making this video. Can you please make a game industry one too? Although, I think it is pretty similar but still...
My first job in animation was working on a VR game for a small company no one had ever heard of. Before that, I only every thought about working on films, like he was saying. Advertising is also huge for animation opportunities. Really opened a lot of doors for me.
This IMF thing you talked about, in most studios I think its just prep work in comp, sounds like its just painting but made for animation instead of live action stuff.
I learned about matte painting last year at CTN, and now I'm obsessed with picking out obvious matte paintings in movie scenes. Simultaneously love it, but also get driven nuts when its too obvious haha
Great videos! I would love to know more about the pipeline. I've been doing 3D modeling work for about 3 years and I'm just starting to get into animation (maybe 6 months) and the pipeline is still very confusing. I know that it differs from place to place, but it's still very confusing to find info about. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep up the great work. :)
thank you for that insight. That helps me decide where I want to go. I want to try out Unreal Engine visual cameras and do 3d animation for it. Currently I do motion graphics with focus on 2d but I feel unsatisfied and stuck. I'm definitely someone who likes to do different things (jack with all trades), so I guess I could be better off at small studios or as TA or maybe Previs. I just want to get a foothold in the industry somehow. I come from gamedesign studies and actually focused on Animation but didn't get anywhere so I focused on Video and that worked out kinda.
I'm a blender artist and I love your videos, they teach me a lot of things but ATM while typing this can't watch the probably astonishing video, because I'm in class :/ But I'll watch it when I'm home again :)
Thanks so much for this Wade, fantastic resource! Would love one from the games industry as well. Curious about the general pipeline too. Keep up the great work :)
Ok! I have questions! So my biggest issue is WHERE to apply? And who is most likely to accept someone who doesn't have any industry experience? (so I guess entry level is what i'm looking for) I graduate in may so trying to figure out where to apply in the hopes that I get a job. And i'm open to just about anything in the animation/game design industry. And i'm open to learning new skills as well. I can model, animate, operate Houdini, texture, etc. And I think my specialty is figuring stuff out. So where do I apply with the most likely hood that i'll get hired? Thanks! Love your videos.
Going to school in the spring. Always loved graphics, games, and editing. I am trying to pin-point what I want to study. Anyone have any suggestions? I have such a wide range of passion for all these computers.
I'm a generalist, might not get a job at a bigger company that has a lot of people that do only one thing, but i belive my skill set is super important for smaller companys or especific jobs like the previz you mentioned
Animation career is a dream job for me which I'm practicing traditional art then 3d .But at the start I had an interest in becoming a character designer but far from that ,is it possible for an animator to have two job careers in animation????
And could you discuss like which is better to make at living at, vancouver, or LA? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm quite struggling to choose between going to thinktank or gnomon
Hi! Can you talk about the animation industry in Canada? Or for that matter in any other country other than the USA I am Mexican and moving to the US kinda frightens me cause of its polítical climate and the difficulty of immigration, so I am considering other countries, but I know nothing about their industry.
@@sergsergesrgergseg from what I know, you need sponsorships to work at other countries. I want to hear which studios are great to work for in London though
I'm in the 1st grade of the middle school (no ideia if I wrote it right. I'm not a native in english but you got it), and I have a lot of interesting. Animation, graphic designer, writing, and is SO terrifying, because I don't know what I going to do in my life
@@aim__freakz8499 Didn't know what to do until I was 21 haha, but it helps if you know what kind of thing you wanna do. I knew only that I wanted to make some cool stuff on a computer. Then after few years I narrowed it down to stuff like photoshop, design, photography, web development, making 2d marketing graphics. I started studying all of these things at a university, the program had a very broad spectrum of subjects which made it possible to do all of the things I wrote above (Multimedia Technology and Design). It is now the last year at the uni, and I know I want to work with programming and software development when I'm done. Just don't be anxious and do what you really like doing, and some day you will get good enough to earn money with the thing you're doing
I just started learning Blender. I am a roleplayer and actor, as hobby, and thought it would be fun to learn. I also like earning about the rest of the business, so thank you for the info. I am also coming late to this party. :-)
I fully expected this to be a full on pipeline video, cause people who are not studying anything in the field have no idea how many jobs go into the animation pipeline. I would say school in my experience at least do a good job laying those out. Great video!
Image finagling. IMF. a.k.a Impossible Missions Force. A team of highly skilled artists cracking knuckles and fixing images frame by frame. Ethen Hunt style.
i see myself to be quite a generalist but i do take a liking to do rigging and uv unwrapping (funnily the thing most people don't like) i also find it quite fun to come up with hacky tricks that i would never hope to see in a final software but gets the job *roughly* done i don't know where that lands me :p
Would you do a video on what it's like to be/pass from Animation university? I am going to graduate in 6 months and I have no idea what universities teach in animation or graphics creation. I don't know what to apply for, for getting into animation industry.
Where are these jobs typically posted? A lot of job boards I see seem to only post for character riggers, animators, leads, and other well known positions, I'm curious if they post these other opportunities in different spaces
Hi I have a question I'm currently studying VFX and im going to invest into a monitor i am torn between getting the benq 2700q however it's only 60hz does refresh Rate matter?

A general pipeline video is a great idea, there aren't a lot out there that are easy to understand for new people coming in
Yeah, I've been trying to figure out how the pipeline works for a while now but haven't really found anything good on it
CG Meetup has a video called DreamWorks animation studios pipeline where you can learn about the pipeline from story to final movie
As I remember, there’s a group of penguins that once did a video on that
That penguins video came from my department at DreanWorks, not really sure how they got it :P

@@gabeperro7590 Substance is for texture artists and generalists, though. That is more LookDev, which is a bit different from VisDev and comes later in the pipeline.
Oh yes, I got flip-flopped on which category.
I'm TD but trained initially as a generalist.
@Begin Transformation I know the pipeline. That isn't what I asked.
I used to think there was no good 3d animation youtube channel until i got recommended one of your videos
full pipeline video would be great not just for people looking for work but for people looking to build teams for personal projects

I just started learning Blender. I am a roleplayer and actor, as hobby, and thought it would be fun to learn. I also like earning about the rest of the business, so thank you for the info. I am also coming late to this party. :-)
Until this video, I thought PA was Personal Assistant😅😂😂
Yes to the Pipeline video!!
Yes definitely a pipeline video
animation pipeline video would be cool
I fully expected this to be a full on pipeline video, cause people who are not studying anything in the field have no idea how many jobs go into the animation pipeline. I would say school in my experience at least do a good job laying those out. Great video!
I started learning character animation but found that I like effects animation better.
I would also love to be a trainer. Teaching is in my blood. :)
I'm currently learning character animation but I'm having a very difficult time. What is easier? fx animation of character animation?
@@DragonNuts I wouldn't say either is necessarily easier than the other. Try them both out and see which one speaks to you more.

Image finagling. IMF. a.k.a Impossible Missions Force. A team of highly skilled artists cracking knuckles and fixing images frame by frame. Ethen Hunt style.
Please do a pipeline video 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I cant decide Blender or Maya for future job,dont wanna spend 2+ years and then sell models for 5 bucks.Wanna job in company.
i see myself to be quite a generalist but i do take a liking to do rigging and uv unwrapping (funnily the thing most people don't like)
i also find it quite fun to come up with hacky tricks that i would never hope to see in a final software but gets the job *roughly* done
i don't know where that lands me :p
Please can you do a video on animation resources for blender like rigged characters.
Very helpful! A part 2 would be great. Gaming and RUclips animation jobs would be interesting to hear about
yes please tell me more about jobs in the industry
do i want a video on _______ yes yes to all please your insites are always so helpful
Much needed one! Would love to see something based in gaming too :D
Animation pipeline video please!
4:17 I failed once with this word whe I was talking to one advisor😂 Quite confusing word)
More videos on pipelines yes please
Please make a similar video for game animators!
Would you do a video on what it's like to be/pass from Animation university? I am going to graduate in 6 months and I have no idea what universities teach in animation or graphics creation. I don't know what to apply for, for getting into animation industry.
Where are these jobs typically posted? A lot of job boards I see seem to only post for character riggers, animators, leads, and other well known positions, I'm curious if they post these other opportunities in different spaces
I like to work with cycle animations
Rigging is very cool.
hi I graduated from full sail university as a 3d animator and would like to work in my filed degree but remotely what are my best options

every studio is different
no thats it thats the video

You could probably focus on this area of discussion for the rest of your lifetime and still have content, please keep going!
