Mantra

"What’s necessary is that you have a passion to learn animation and a hunger to seek that knowledge out anywhere and everywhere. What’s necessary is a keen sense of observation throughout your daily life, and the ability to learn from what you are observing. What’s necessary is the ability to apply those observations to your work, and to accurately recreate and exaggerate the life you see around you. What’s necessary is the patience to plan your work out, and the tenacity to be detail-oriented enough to completely finish it. What’s necessary is the desire to find criticism of your work and to grow from what you hear."
- Shawn Kelly, Animator at ILM

I need to read that everyday.
