Many app to make animation and they are all expensive, what to do --> go to SS to watch tutorial to see how to use and then go to YT to watch comparison videos

 

[Leona Ta]

Finished HSK test

 

[Leona Ta]

Done a first Gif file. The problem is my PC RAM is too low for virtual graphic, do I need to buy a new one?

Done first 2s animated clip with no sound. But the tnz file cracked and I can not open again. The RAM can not handle it. Check the price of avarage animation computer, 1000~1500 usd at least. What to do now? I have to find out a way to go forward.

 

[BizyDad]

How much RAM in your computer? Can you maybe just expand your device's RAM? Check computer boards and see if this is possible. $1000-$1500 will get you a nice system, but if you are just making Gif's, that sounds high. You're right it is a proper animation system, but until then, worst case, you probably can find a cheaper system that you can just put 16-32GB of RAM into...

What are the skills it take to become a professional animator beside going to colleage--> research the online training certificate --> it will be around 1 year and 1500 usd --> means if I want to save 1500 usd it will take me 1.5 to 2 years by self-taught --> I will study follow the copes they advertise and need to win a price in a competition to show my ability because I have no certificate

I want to build a brand of Animated charater like Hello Kitty by social media platform, not by working as an emloyed worker. This will be my E.

 

[Leona Ta]

Will go to the shop with the animator friend this weekend but he suggest me invest money in thr Mainboard and CPU as they are hard to upgrade later, so he hope we can set up a standaed PC around 700 USD.
In the time of waiting I will use simple shapes to animate to lower the virtual memort. I noted my a script and frames and hope to make my first 2 min short animation in this week, with the company laptop.

 

[Leona Ta]

My friend and I tried many options but it is really need to be at least 1000 USD.
I got this money on hands now, but I consider it is quite a big amount so I hesitated for many days now. Should I spend it now? I need to move forward but this amount can help me solve some other things later. What to do?

why don't you build the pc piece by piece? instead of buying a complete pc just buy the parts when you have the money and slowly build it yourself?

 

[Leona Ta]

In the time of waiting for a new pc, I set a target to use phone to make and upload a short 30s clip on TT everyday to practice voice over. So far I have post two clips, the quality were very very "junior" but I had fun while doing it.
And, I joined a Korean beginner class 3 evenings per week, to make new friends and change the environment a little bit. It was fun too.

I made 4 clips so far, the funny thing is my 1 clip got 5 views but the second one got more than a hundred in 2 days. Anyway, I will keep on practicing by making a 30s clip per day.
I found out a free software that can be used to compose song, with very simple and easy to use interface even for a person with no knowledge like me, so I will try to make my first own song, this will be my A3.

 

[Leona Ta]

New PC and monitor arrived, now I can draw freely T.T

 

[Leona Ta]

A2.2: Im studying A. I software now, together with Korean

The new PC is good, SS has great teaching classes, I need to take it slowly, no rush.

 

[Leona Ta]

Still in learning process

 

[Leona Ta]

I received the Pass results for both English TOEIC and Chinese HSK today. Excellent scores.

 

[Leona Ta]

The AE software crashed because I have no graphic card (as it's sky rocket, people buy card to dig Bitcoin) so I can't make animation video T.T --> Change to make filming video in the time waiting for the price of graphic cards to cool down.

The video editing PR is crashed as well --> I will use Power Point to make video instead. I also make a new YT channel, first step is to practice by making a simple short clip everyday.

 

[Leona Ta]

New Covid wave hit my city heavily...Im worried, my mood is down, now I can't focus on learning, just want to be safe.

 

[Hai]

Youtube is thriving in Vietnam. If you can make great content, there is good chances of success!

Hi,
This is a thread I made to record my journey. Nothing more, so please go back if you like or if you would like to cheer me up. Thanks a lot.
*****************
I'm Leona, born 1983 in Vietnam. After reading Uncripted and thinking hard for a week, I realized MJ and I have almost nothing in common so even if he gave me a compass, I had no idea how to move from A to Z. There seems to be no Fastlaner around me too, so I made this thread as a seed, I hope to grow it into a tree in this land, no matter how it becomes, every time I'm sad it will be the potion for me.

A: today, read the book --> need to take action but where to start? --> start by improve myself first -> go to SS to watch many teaching videos --> Making animated video on YT seems fine to me --> I'm going to make my first video tonight

Z: don't know yet, I will realize it when it comes.

What are you planning for your Z now?

 

[Leona Ta]

Many jobs are available but it is hard to find the suitable one, especially for my age. Need to prepare for next Oct, Covid will not go anywhere soon.

Have you already thought specifically about what door this opens for you?
