Sirwade is basically just a personalitytuber with like 3 good tutorials in a sea of clickbait.

His channel is good for beginners but if you're actually dedicated to learning the craft you'll grow out of it in at least one week's time. This is the trap "teacher" YouTubers fall in: if their stuff is too complex then very few people will watch it and understand it, if their stuff is too basic then his animator audience will eventually leave and what he will be left with is low tier people who only clicked because of the clickbait.

The guy hasn't animated anything since forever. He picked YT over being an animator which says a lot about why he's no longer an animator at Dreamworks.

To be fair cascadeur's main gimmick is the moving COG that's intended to do things like spins and flips as easily as possible, and tutorials like those are usually rehearsed and edited. Examples of live real-time animation work that isn't pre-planned are different and relatively more rare than "this is how you do this with steps I already wrote out and practiced ahead of time, perhaps with exact values in mind". Wade makes a lot of crap content but the 24h stream was ballsy.

Buddy, the Cascadeur tutorial was created by some software nerds. The 2h livestream was done by a self-described DreamWorks Maya animator and all he did was a foot slide. I'm not an animator but I can do what he did in Daz Studio in less than 20 min.

I watched complete beginners do more productive livestreams with software packages they just installed that day. This is my main criticism of Sir Wade, he gave up on being an animator to become a YouTuber. He wants to become the Jazza of animation. More power to him but much like Jazza, his videos have become more about being entertaining rather than informative.

His abilities or lack thereof as an animator are besides the point, all I'm saying is a scripted tutorial is not a realistic demonstration of animation workflow, and can give an incorrect mentality toward animation. The majority of things someone animates are not going to have a clear step by step process behind them and they're also going to take a long fucking time. Watch pratt streams, those are slow as fuck compared to any tutorial too.

we know from interviews that disney / AAA in general is using custom animation tech and tools and workflows that they cant show on youtube. They just cant do it due to legal reasons. Thus, anything they show is a misrepresentation of their actual workflow and they are forced into using shitty off the shelf tools that they would never use in production. That's what Sir Wade had to teach these newbies.

AAA software can't be that far off because they're still reliant on animation schools that teach people basic maya workflows and fundamentals. Whatever changes they make are most likely pipeline-related rather than workflow-related, or in-house copies of utility plugins so they don't have to pay plugin developers. There's no escape from keyframe hell.

Retardo.
Animation is animation. Animators at Disney are equivalent to animators at Joe's vfx corner shop in terms of what they're doing. They set key frames. There aren't any esoteric animation techniques that Disney animators are keepers of, barring the years of experience and grinding and honing of their skills which isn't something that can be taught for the most part.

In terms of tech, proprietary tools are to commercial tools what commercial tools are to blender. Something that is developed specifically to satisfy the needs of the tiny userbase of the company and works with them rather than against them. It is a time saver on a large scale and may make their workflow smoother, but it all boils down to the individual artist's skill in the end.

A trainer in a company 99% of the time is literally just a human wiki, which isn't even guaranteed to be neither exhaustive nor accurate. It's someone who tells you where the on/off button is on the custom-built drill, not how to carve the statue out of the marble block, nor is required to actually know how or to have ever done it.

So yeah, this guy is full of shit. He's as much an "animator" as the coffee runner is, with the difference that the latter usually doesn't start a YouTube channel claiming to be one, and that makes him a slimy bottom-feeder.

Well teaching is a different skill than doing, he works for AM too so he presumably has all the theory down as well as a degree of technical knowledge. His contraints tutorial is pretty much the best on youtube and feature guides are basically the only kind of animation tutorial that's truly useful.

its already confirmed in interviews that disney / AAA is using simulation and physics to set keys on traditionally "keyed" animated characters, like a cascadeur but with billions of dollars of rnd backing to make sure its the best it can be. Keyframes are no longer just keyframes, they are assisted by physics and machine learning with in house software that you cant possibly hope to grasp as well as having the fastest turn around time with their incredibly large renderfarms

The guy had a stable job at DreamWorks teaching Maya and other software programs.

If you read between the lines, compare what he said versus the facts of what happened it's plain to see that he was fired.

People like this only care about appearances. That's they put an obnoxious "On-Air" sign in the background of their videos. Because of that he's not going to admit that he was fired.

No one leaves a stable job to work on a YouTube channel and it was clear from the onset that his aspirations lied with DreamWorks and animating, not with being another talking head on an open broadcast platform.

So the whole "I left my job to do Youtube"--I don't believe it for a second. DreamWorks canned him because he was expendable and he was attempting to save face by saying otherwise.

>HTTYD acting shots
Two things:
Major characters at DreamWorks are assigned to lead animators to animate. Each lead has ownership of the performance of one character. Major shots are solely animated by the lead, while minor shots may or may not be deferred to mids to final and polish.
This is different from what happens in vfx studios, because feature animation studios are all about the performance of the characters, as the name implies. Leads are more similar to actors in that regard, quite literally immersing themselves into their character for months on end in order to figure out how to animate them.

Before going to the fucking software trainer, shots will first go to junior and intern animators.

So yeah, he's full of shit.
>b-but muh shots on his reel

You do realize that you can literally rip clips from the movies and make a reel out of them in order to LARP about being an animator or whatever, right? Like, there is nothing preventing you from doing it.

>your narcissistic desire of being recognized as a professional animator is now true
>retards on 4chan make threads praising you and defending you

Some studios require you to send a written breakdown document alongside your reel exactly to avoid this shit, because it's more common than you think. You are asked about your reel in interviews for the same reason. The easiest thing people do is simply write what they did as a footnote in the reel itself. i. e. the animator will write "X character animation", the rigger "X character rigging" and the modeler "X character modeling" and may have the same shots in their reel.
Guaranteed he doesn't.

First they weren't clips from the movie, they were maya scenes with just the character performance. Second, you're going schizo territory if your argument is "this somewhat popular animation youtuber and animation mentor teacher got blacklisted for literal plagiarism but nobody has pointed it out publicly whatsoever and still lets him use the plagiarized shots on his public demo reel".

I mean, having a dreamworks animation reel doesn't even say anything. It could easily just be the product of extensive feedbacking from the character lead just like animation school demo reels are the product of students getting handheld through the entire thing by the teacher. I don't know why you have this weird vendetta against him but it's very obvious with how defensive you're getting over nothing. Nobody's saying he's a great animator, in fact he might have been moved to trainer after HTTYD precisely because he choked as an animator.

Anonymous at Fri, 24 Dec 2021 15:21:51 UTC No. 871885

Nevermind about HTTYD, I misremembered. He somehow got HTTYD characters to make demoreel shots but it wasn't actual HTTYD movie shots. I'm guessing he's a failed animator who still got into dreamworks as a trainer (and later AM as a teacher, and later success as a youtuber) through some good old-fashioned nepotism. His constraints tutorial is solid though.

That is so illegal it's grounds for suing by DreamWorks, let alone gross misconduct and instant termination.
Deleted scenes and breakdowns that go in the DVD extras and Making ofs go through mountains of red tape before getting there, and are only a fraction of the total. Sometimes deleted scenes get worked on more after they decide they'll put them in the extras.
You don't just get to play around with company assets and make your shit public without them going postal on you, it's unlikely he had permission to have that shit on his reel, let alone having done it at all.

I don't care that's the path he decided to take. But please know, Sir Wade (if you're watching), your channel is useless now to someone like me who is genuinely trying to learn about animation. I am not even trying to make a case on which path is best. If you want a YT career it is actually probably best to do the clickbait stuff and cater to normies.
