Thebeezsneeze (Shawn) has posted in the forum which should be of interest to up and coming animators out there. Shawn has some valuable advice to pass on that will be of particular interest to those beginning to learn animation all by yourselves, since he's been through all that too...
Hey all! I've recently set up some thoughts of mine on Learning Animation and Breaking into the industry. I grew up in Australia and taught myself to animate. I'm currently a Senior Animator at LucasFilm Animation (working on the Clone Wars) and felt this was a good time to share my experiences.Thanks for taking a look! Hopefully its helpful to anyone trying to break into animation!

Take heed on all his advice, and hopefully you'll end up with something better than Colin's Bear animation below!
