I would say the #1 thing for me is always getting stronger with animation principles. You can learn tools and plug-ins, but if you don't know what little touches give animation fluidity, impact, even emotion and personality -- animations will always fall short of their potential.

What I've learned in my career: People skills always beat technical skills.

Soo true; sometimes he have so many resources to learn but we forget to actually put what we learned in action, it ends sometimes be just being a overwhelming of information but without any positive results on the end

Great tips. Just In Time Learning & “leaning just enough and working on personal project” is really an eye opener for me. I was about to go down into rabbit hole😅. Thanks for this wonderful video.

best way to learn is through school of motion it the best resource hands down

[GMoney-B]

This is so fantastic. This is pretty much everything wrong with me. I am going to put this into a playlist for awhile of videos I watch weekly to remind me of the things I need to be doing to keep focused, on task and to keep progressing forward as fast as possible. Thank you for putting this video and info together.

I needed to see this video. Thanks so much. I definitely have been in the learning loop.

[MatthewPolack]

Thanks for this. Can I ask a tip. I'm really focused on telling stories for YouTube in a documentary style. I only need some some effects here and there for this.. but feel quite overwhelmed when seeing the likes of what is possible with Blender and After Effects. What learning path would you recommend when time is precious?
