An agency got me in to animate a rectangle splitting in two. (Not exaggerating). It was 2 keyframes and took 30secs. For 2 days i had three creative directors stood behind me telling me different ways to do it. Over 60 versions were made. The client chose the first version.

Animators. If you want a sizeable passive income from 30 seconds of animation: 1. Animate a loop of an animal nodding their head in a bedroom. 2. Create an hour long mix of obscure lofi hip hop beats. 3. Upload to Youtube.

If you, or someone you know, wants to learn how to rig and animate characters like this (in After Effects using RUBBERHOSE): I made a tutorial series. 1. Rigging. 2. Animating on hold keyframes. 3. Animating normally.

very early in my career i turned up to a "one-day" freelance animation job. the posh, rugby-type producer proceeded to tell me it would be an all-night gig. none of the thousands of layers were labelled. i asked where the toilet was, got up and walked out the front door.

I wouldn't mind @GIPHY getting $400million if you could see the artist's name on Instagram. Some GIFs have BILLIONS of views and there's no way to find the artist. We're potentially missing tonnes of work. Exposure means nothing if you can't find us.

If you suffer from depression or anxiety, I highly recommend you start operating on a routine! My routine... 7am - wake up 7:30am - meditate 8am - make breakfast 9am - gym 10am - go to work 10:30am - go to sleep I do this every day, minus the work on weekends! But it saved me!
