He looks like a real life Disney character
He's Like a Combo of Sultan from Aladdin and Professor Porter from Tarzan.
Yea smee
Instablaster...
Was literally thinking the same thing 😂
Belle's father in beauty and the beast
Listen people. This guy in the video is a high class animator. Professional as heck. He animated the Genie from Aladdin. That's a character with life and personality if i ever seen one.
OMG. And here I am because of Tomson the cat.
He's such a role model in every way he presents himself too. Super encouraging and genuinely insightful.
Moana also
I think the internal response of “oh yeah?” When faced with people denying you is where all true greatness comes from.
Determination with a pinch of saltiness, maybe a dash of spite, a “watch me” “fuck it” attitude.
Now I'm so inspired! :D
"Every corner of the earth is
probs doing some animation!
Maybe even the penguins are doing
that in Antartica!" LMAO
that shirt is so cool
It's so swanky
ikr
i wannna know where it's frooooom :)
Hahahaha u have only saw that shirt
love eric goldberg, he's a great person to look up to
Patrick Deza YEAH SAME!!!!!
I’m 12 and iv been animating since I was 9, my dream is to be a successful animator and work with Pixar :)
Insanity Paws just go for it and don't give up, please!

Too bad your work is mediocre honestly
yeah theyre doing rlly well for their age and i can tell their animation has improved a lot in the past year. i mean thats how it works if u expect advanced animation skills from a 12 year old who only began a couple years ago youre not very smart
You'll make it.
Bro same just I’m 17
Animators are masters of visual art.
i am a 13 year old trying to learn and practicing everything about art and animation before going to college, when i grow up i wanted to make my own company which is quite hard but i still have hopes for it. I wanted to revive 2d animation and share all my thoughts and teachings to the world one day and hearing this inspired me even more. i’m trying traditional animation for now and i hope for anyone else who share the same dream accomplished it too :D
same dream
Same here
same
Keep it going!
Me too!
Eric Goldberg is my favorite Disney animator
He seems so kind and gentle
I would be honored and cheerful to meeting him one day
The genie was perfect for him to bring to life by animating him
Goldberg embodies the pure fun and joy of animation. His cartooning never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Absolutely and every time!
Outstanding advice here he crammed a lot in to 4 minutes. Not just glib- worthwhile points.
I'm 20 , currently a student in Romania , and my dream is to become a professional animator . Animation is a very unwalked ,unexplored teritory in my country ,but I have hope that I can work with people abroad who share the same passion as me.
Same here
Ya I'm trying to make my own series typically a object show like bfdi don't judge,and what i learned is that you won't get it perfect the first sketch but if you keep going and trying you'll make a great breakthrough
This is some great and much needed advice, honestly. I'm an animator "between gigs" right now, and this cheered me up.
What advice would you give to an animator who is a beginner? Sorry if this is a dumb question
@@bubblegumteal3236 If I were to give an advice, I'd say that 2D animation isn't hard, just extremely tedious. Push through a project or you'll get stuck in the middle.
Knowledge wisdom and understanding indeed!
This really made me think about how many times in the past I have wanted to quit art but NEVER did because art is what truly gives me life
Eric Goldberg has motivated me the best till now and the way he motivated was just awesome and now I can't wait to walk in my path to become a famous animator. Thanks Eric Goldberg 😊
Thank you for the advice and encouragement Mr. Goldberg.
The five people who disliked this video are some guys working on the Disney live-action remakes.
this man is just the dictionary definition of "swell". and also my new role model.
"Eric Goldberg" ... the most animator sounding name ever 😉
Wonderful man! God Bless him!
What i like about Artists is they are always supportive and inspiring.I've always wanted to become one and now,i'm on my way to be one.(with lots of difficulties,of course) But I know that someday all of this hard work will be paid off.And that we all will be okay.Just follow your dreams.You may feel like losing yourself sometimes but don't u ever doubt yourself for following them.Cause i am pretty sure that they know the way.❤❤❤
one of my idols
That is great advice. Eric goldberg, u are a great idol of animators!
Still something young and springy in this voice and eyes. I think great animators like Goldberg are still connected to the source of life. By observing it, enjoying it and letting it flow through them. The bringing to life of ideas, characters and movement.
A video has only one dislike? What a rare occasion! May the poor soul's mind be turned.
Now it has 9... 😑
@@markellhawthorne2921 10 now
@@Animatty those poor unfortunate souls.
Anyone watching this in 2017? I fell amaizing watching this for bilion times.
Eric is the man. I do exactly what he is talking about. For just say... foreshortening, when I go out, I will look at peoples arms and the way they look when facing at different angles and so on. I do this a lot with comic books. I feel like if you had an unbelievable memory, you would be an even better artist.
This was so inspiring, holy crap.
Hit the nail on the head
Legend
This man is a legend.
this moved me so much oh my gosh
thank you for the video!
I really like him :)
LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I love this man for his skill, I want to learn ever little thing I can I may only be young but I want to put effort on this and I want to make this my skill
i love this man
Thanks!
Thanks eric :D
Very nice !
Legend in animation
he’s always dressing nice
Thaaanks Internet, i can see a legend💖✨
GOLD
this is inspiring, and my dream is to animate in DISNEY!!! and he showed me that i can make that dream come true.
You definitely can if you work hard to make your dreams a reality! 💗 Good luck!
mellovog actitude and I would love to make an animated short film with you dm me at michael_dalia on instagram
I love how this comment section is full of Animators (myself included)
God bless eric goldberg
Awesome Advice.
Master
thank you! I am 15 trying to persue animation and 3d modeling
Such a cuddly little man. And such a big inspiration. I dont peoplewatch because im an introvert and antisocial. So if someone notices im staring at them and they say something to me i lock up. I have been in an art block and nothing can get me out
Im training to paper animate and export it on my computer
I always wonder if animators put in Easter eggs like drawing themselves hidden in the background of a scene.
Truly wonderful to hear the God himself. Love you Eric!! :)
That's alot of helpful to me.Thank you.Now I'm 13 and I started intrested in animation at 8.Now I practise everything about drawing and animation to become an animator.I wish I would work for disney when I grow up.And I really want to know how can I be an animator for disney.☺
Little did he know that a global pandemic was all it took for people to realize just how true his statement about working on a film from home and it being so easy nowadays.

I feel like I have more talent for the original stuff, ya know? Like it scares me with all the digital stuff, because I'm too poor to own a good computer to get comfortable with, but great with drawing and animating and creating characters... idk I really wanna be an animator for Disney someday
How do you make each frame go by so quickly. I ask this because the closet i've ever gotten to animation is a slide show on my phone. And that's to slow. I need to know how to make it quicker.
マシンフィスト you need a new program. Try firealpaca, it’s free. Just go to the “view” thing and click onion skin mode then you can animate and choose the speed
Make each key frame move closer to each other and what this comes down to is timing and spacing if the spacing of your drawings are closer this will result in faster animation but make them close but not too close every time otherwise it will be too fast. I'm very bad at explaining alot and I suggest adobe after effects and adobe animate and if you into 3d 3ds maya to get into industry you need skills in all I think not sure tough I suggest getting a well known tutor and going to a well known Design school it's very hard getting into the industry you will need someone to guide you through the path people think this means people are going to do all the work but I know you are really hard working so get the right guidance study smart and you will fly with colours and most importantly don't give up
HE KNOWS
its too late for me, i went to school to be a tech and while I do make a nice bit of money I'm not totally happy. is it to late to go for my dream even though i didn't go to school to be an animator? if so anyone have any tips?
Kid I know our animation tutor at uni started out designing motor engines and buildings. he moved onto animation later on after giving post production a try.
Kid I know its never to late for anyone:) If Animation is you dream go for it.
thanks for the encouragement.
Hey I know this is a month out but thought i'd say it here. If your really interested in old school traditional animation. Then look up AMB Animation Academy on youtube. I've been taking lessons from that youtube page that specialize on 2D Traditional Animation. I've learned a lot more from that one page then trying to go to school.
P.S. I'm a new Drawing Artist and Animator.
My intent isn't to discourage you, but i gotta tell you don't let the idea of greener grass tempt you. Start it as a hobby? Luckily, you don't need to go to any type of school to learn and you don't need a degree. You can teach yourself! Animation is a very competitive business and most animators freelance, with no job security or benefits.There's no guarantee you'll be happy as an animator, even those who achieve their goal of something like a Pixar job, just settle in and it becomes "eh" to them. Many leave after a few years because of how stressful it is and draining it can be on their creative juices so they leave to pursue other interests.
PS: I recommend Bobby Chiu and Schoolism.
He is so cute and looks like Don Carlton from Monster University .
He looks like Mr. Smee mixed with Doc from Snow White.
I would love to intern for animation penguins
People : you will never go that better.
Me : true :(
This guy : oh yeah?
I wanna do Disney animations but I have to use flipaclip :(
An old version of flash is put there for free. You can download it for free online and get a serial key with just a Google search. All you have to do is look. I recommend Macromedia flash 8 professional
SillyDouglas is it still available?
I animate really well on flipaclip. Dont give up yo 👍
I have to go to Antarctica! I need to find the animation penguins!!
I told my Dad I wanted to be an artist.
He laughed at me and said, "Draw me a beer."
I am kinda worried about the pay thing. You have to work very hard to earn a living. But it'll be more than worth it to do. Thankyoy for teaching me one of my biggest inspirations ✌
I would love to work with penguins honestly
Eric looks and sounds like Carl Weezer's dad
The only reason to give up is you find out animation is not your passion anymore. No other reasons around.
Do not do animation in Japan they pay per drawing and not per hour
