Thanx a lot to u for giving me ur valuable reply...Thanx again...actually some how I am an artist and I love anything creative..Now I am working on my own 2d short movie project.after this I will go to 3d.Coz I want to know everything 2d and 3d..Is it right?
Wooow....great..... Spirit is my favourite ....U work in spirit !!!!!!!!...great....I am a student of animation from India..I can draw some how..but i am not good like u...I love to paint or draw in photoshop by tablet..and love to draw with pencil also but never get a training for drawing..now my 2d classes are over and moving to 3d.. in future what will be right for me, 2d or 3d?
@manas865 Thanks! Its a nice reminder that people appreciate these films as often the production of them is very difficult. Long hours, story changes and having scenes cut or redone wears the artists down and you can get 'sour' on the process. Who knows, maybe in a couple years Ill end up rewatching it.. ;) Oh and to answer your question about 2d or 3d.. I recommend 3d as there is much more work available. 2d work is pretty scarce here in the US. best of luck to you.
i'm from venezuela and i'm going to study 3D animation next year in VanArts because i want to mix it with my career that is paleontology do you think is a good idea? because i don't now what art choose 3D or 2D
@obanstarracer14 Thank you..! You know, I dont think you really have to choose. Either 2d or 3d, you will be studying how things move. I think sharpening your drawing skills will benefit both styles of animation and in paleontology.
@caveleone With Spirit, it was almost entirely hand drawn. There are a couple digital elements in the film, like a few shots where we see the herd running with Spirit, oh and the locomotive rolling down the mountain.. And I believe it was proprietary 'Dreamworks' software.
Hello, I'm a student of fine art, and I'm very interested in animation- the 2d animation definitely.
I have tried the ,,Maya'' software course and I didn't like the 3d, as I like to draw by hand, or on a drawing tablet , and not ,,model'' the characters in a computer software. It is as if the 3d animation softwares are doing it all themselves, and any person that's intelligent enough could do the job.
Must have been a privilege to work with such great companies, I love your demo reel.
@caveleone Thank you so much for your kind words. Yeah, software can have its limitations, but man it can save you A LOT of time. Nowadays its looking like the 'stylized' animation is back in the hands of the artists. What I mean is, all those nice squishy 'off model' poses that really give those classic 2d cartoons their 'zippy' timing, can be done with most programs. I still dont know much in terms of 3d software, but Ive seen the quality really improve over these last 8 years.
@Inkbleedful Well there is no 'standard' rate, however in Los Angeles, on most union productions, a starting cartoon storyboard artist probably makes anywhere from $1000 to $1800 a week. Freelance gigs and other independent projects can pay a lot less (or a lot more) depending on the client. That said, those first couple gigs never seem to pay what you expect them too, so be patient if your just starting out. Get your resume going and be sure to save for those stretches inbetween projects.
@Inkbleedful I think those rates apply to Cartoon Network and most studios in LA. But Im talking about the rates for storyboard artists. In terms of 'Illustrators', I dont believe they have them at the studio. Perhaps they freelance out some 'consumer product' designs to be done by an illustrator. Maybe you are confusing 'Illustrators' with 'storyboard artists' ?
thank you for posting this. you are indeed fortunate to have worked with the big 3 animation production companies. i hope 2d does make a major comeback as i prefer it to 3d animation. Keep posting your 2d stuff, please =)
What an amazing animation reel. You're a multi-talented dude. Your timing and follow-throughs are blowing my mind, plus all the big name character's your working with. You're going places kid! ha. Can't wait for a return to 2-d also.
I personally think Dreamworks had a good change of overcoming Disney in popularity, even for a few short years, if they'd kept with 2D animation. Everything they turned out back then was pure GOLD.

The ''Spirit'' is one of my favourite cartoon movies ever.
I wanted to ask you which softwares have been used for making a movie such as ''Spirit''?
Thank you!
