How to know if you are ready for your first animation
The kind of animation that am talking about here is not the test animation that you do after learning something new inside blender, I am talking about a serious animation that you plan to upload on Youtube or vimeo . Here is a simple test to see if you are ready
1. You have a good solid story with every shot story-boarded
Well without a story you can't do an animation unless you just want to show off some cool visuals , a story is the basic thing . Why should it be story-boarded, well story boards have been used for ages to give you are reference of what is going to be done and how each shot is going to look like
2. You know how to move a camera
This is not just a "move" that am talking about NOTE: In cinematography, camera moves can create emotions so if one knows the emotions involved in every camera move , can sync them with the emotions of the characters
3. You know how to light a scene
Yes once again lighting is also connected to emotions you can have lighting for happy moments, creepy moments, epic moments etc
4. You know how to do compositing
Do you know how to add depth of field and when to add it and so many other aspects of compositing???
5. Can you do post production, add sounds , background music and other sound effects
Well if don't know all this then don't give up, animation is not easy here is some advice learn cinematography and psychology of the media industry more.

Challenges and advice for a young 3D artist
1.Little knowledge is dangerous
Most of my unfinished projects were unfinished because when I learned something I always wanted to make an animation out of it only to discover I still can't do a million of other things.
2. Finding someone who cares to answer your newbie questions
Many newbies ask very basic questions at different sites in which in which advanced users find them annoying since they get the same questions over and over again , questions like "how do I render ?" "How do I change the colour of my objects ?" "how do you get out of the game engine after pressing P?"
3. Do not just watch a tutorial do it , practise it until it makes sense
4.If you have a limited bandwith , use software like Internet Download Manager (IDM) which give you the ability to download videos on youtube. Once you have them on your hard drive you can watch them as many times as you wish offline
5.join online communities and interact with other 3D artists or you join the blender facebook group here more.
