If you really have fun with something and you enjoy it you keep at it, no matter who likes it and who doesn't. I have fun animating music videos because they are passion projects. I've grown from nothing to something and people enjoy watching my stuff. It can be tough at first - but it gets better. However in all honesty, it's a really fun career path. If you are not enthusiastic enough or confident about releasing your work to the public, it's not the best option. If you can't manage your time, don't do it - because it is quite time consuming.


If you can't handle criticism, don't do it, because you will receive a lot of it. What advice would you offer to a student at Escape Studios who wants to start their own animation channel at YouTube? The main challenge with YouTube is you have to upload something monthly - otherwise Youtube sees you as a dead channel and it stops promoting you. It all depends on how much you put into it you have to work hard to make it a success. It began as a hobby and gradually evolved into something bigger, and it is still growing. I didn't know in the beginning that it was going to do so well. I was initially inspired by other Minecraft Animation YouTubers, and also the older Minecraft channels that did music videos/animation shorts, such as Captainsparklez, Mineworks, SkyDoesMinecraft & Slamacow.Īt what point did you know it was going to be a success? I uploaded my first animation on the 12th of February 2017 and have been doing them ever since.

At first it was a Minecraft roleplay/gaming channel for about two years then I moved into Minecraft animation. My YouTube Channel QC Animations was created in August 2015, a month before I turned 15. We asked Charlotte a few questions about QC Animations, and how it came into being. Charlotte Ann Gimbird is a second year undergraduate animation student at Escape Studios, studying the Art of Computer Animation.
