learnign to do animation well tames time. Following Disney's training, learn how things should be seen normally first, and reproducing them, and then you add that skill set to creating sequential frames.

I worked with disney animation for some time, and some people there were at 10 years PLUS and not getting the high profile animation jobs.

The general public takes for granted the sheer amount of talent, skill and training to pull off an excellent animated piece.

Also bear in mind a full feature film has MANY animators coordinated in order to pull of a story, and many of the animators are specialty people who only animate specific things (like pixie dust)

Look up :ghost warrior" on the web to leanr more about someone who did a short 5 minute animation himself.. literally locked up for a year's time with NO outside distractions at all.

Is it good? Yep. Would it be worth sacrificing every waking minute of a year of my life? Nope.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
