A Love Letter To Animation

Описание: Animation didn't just appear overnight, it was built, fought for, refined, and sometimes nearly abandoned along the way.
In this video, I'm sharing something personal: a love letter to animation, its history, its foundational principles, and the incredible pioneers who shaped this craft long before we had modern tools, endless tutorials, and streamlined workflows.

After 20+ years in this industry, I've witnessed how easy it becomes for newer generations to miss this crucial history. Not from disrespect, but from speed. In our world of instant tutorials, workflow shortcuts, and constant content output, we sometimes forget why these principles were created in the first place.
What We'll Explore:

Where the 12 Principles of Animation actually originated
How genuinely brutal early animation work really was
Why breaking into animation used to be exponentially harder than today
How resilience, tenacity, and sheer belief shaped the entire medium
Why teaching and passing knowledge forward represents the real legacy

This isn't about romanticizing the past or dismissing today's challenges as insignificant. It's about perspective. About remembering that animation has always been worth fighting for.
If you're an animator, student, or simply someone who loves this craft – I hope this video reconnects you with why you started this journey in the first place.
