Is Animation the right career for you?

Hi guys!
Quite few students are concern about this career choice, they don`t know if they are good enough, if this is the right choice for them, they don`t know what does it mean to work in this industry, maybe they hear some people complain because they had a bad experience, and now they are losing their confidence

Personally i left my country 10 years ago to follow my dream, i work in 4 different country, different field: video games, tv series, feature film, vfx..so today i wanna share with you the Pro and Con of this career

if you have any question drop it in the comment.

P.S. the 3d character is from Animation Mentor
Ciao!

This chanel is gold, why dont people like that make blogs? I would watch them every day. Thats the thing - people who actually do something cool in life - they dont have the time to blog! What a paradox. And the entire youtube is full of bloggers that have nothing to show and only clickbait thousands of people into their boring videos. Its so sad :(

Anyway, big thanks for dedicating your time to share all this wisdom, because without people like you getting into the industry seems like being blind or something

Thank you Alessandro for this video. I am writing from Germany and I finished my education 4 weeks ago. I sent my application to many companies but most of them don´t answer. In this country its the opposite to USA/Canda. Here are not so much companies and most of them want to hire skilled persons with 3+ years. So I have still to wait if they are responding. But when they don´t then I have to think about Canada. And there comes my main questions. I am person who has Diabetes. And I really don´t know how the health insurance situation in other countries are. Espcially in Canada. And therefore it is important to know how much money you get for your work and is it enough to pay everything. I totally understand that the family situation or other things are important when many people don´t want to leave the country. But when you don´t get any job in your country then I would rethink what is more important. I have a family and I have 3 children and yes it is hard for them when they have to change everything. But again when you don´t have a job the problem is much bigger. I am now 7 years unemployed and got the chance to get an education in 3D Animation sponsored by the unemployment center through the government. But finally there not enough jobs. I am sorry that the text is too long. I couldn´t shorten it. I only try to get some infos to consider if it is worth or possible to change the life situation. Again thank you.

Where is the animator mentor located, i mean country district

[bharatanand]

Hello Sir Thanks for helping us so much but I would just request you to make a tutorial on Basics of Animation, it will be very appriciated thank you very much

[irislee]

Thanks for sharing your great experience, in my country, working as an animator means a lot of overtime works without any pay and many young animators quit this career after years of being squeezed, so the industry can't keep the experienced staffs and you rarely see older animators, that's not a good phenomenon in the industry.😞😞 Hope it can change in the future.
P.S. Could you please share some tips about weight and acting in animation? 🧡🧡

[fahruddeen]
