Animation Careers : How to Make an Animated Cartoon 

I think there are software available nowadays. This video is 14 years old. 😢

Scratch that, I'm going to CalArts in Fall 2018. But I'm never gonna give up on my animation dream!!!

You're going to CalArts too? Which Fall? 2017 or 2018?

Gabriel Otuokere goodluck

wish u best of luck dude........

New update! I entered the Nickelodeon Artist Program! If I’m chosen I will be able to become an animation intern at Nickelodeon!

Lol

+William B --10 min cartoon he said

Are you a art? Or just a animator?

i rather kill myself

Am I the only one who knew that and wasn’t at all surprised?

Yes

But most incredible results

Lil

Aaron Allen You can start small, about 6 drawings a second is enough.

you need help who is an artist too, just like what i'm doing now!!!

Aaron Allen 25 frames for 1 second bitch

Aaron Allen you still can but it's gonna take a long time to finish lol

Super Wig Maker try doing cel animation. The feel of hand drawn animation is huge

what's it called

Abdullah Nasher what’s cel animation I took a class on animation and I sucked at drawing on the pad

Any updates? Plus, I know I'm pretty late, but plz save Nickelodeon!

This is the problem of every animator in the world, it's very time consuming. Not only that but most get paid(especially in anime) by the frame. So the faster you can get your hand to move the more money you can make. Pretty harsh for any artist or animator.

Are you constructing your characters? Or just going into details. When you find a method, it makes drawing your characters much faster and consistent

Create your own animation studio!

@@Combes_ too much money needed.

Finally someone who agrees.

Same

I think it's disinfo. I don't think anyone can draw animations like that by hand

Mine too

Mine too.

But why are they over?

+King Rex just start doing it. Your first little animations can be god awful, but its impossible to do it every day and not get better

+Lord Twinkie jjkjjjj

Elizabeth Smith jjkjjjj? I don't understand.

+King Rex why u say its all over

I'm the same way, I love drawing w/pencil to paper. Old fashion is still the best...

Since I cannot afford to buy a bigger facility at the moment, I animate my cartoons from my desk in my bedroom at home.

I also use the same aforementioned techniques when I do the initial rough sketches for my fan art; however, when I work on my fan art, I do the finished line art digitally by means of tracing onto another layer using a painting program of my choice, whether it be Paint.net or GIMP.

avatar the last airbender was drawn fram by frame. the whole cartoon. lol, i feel sorry for the artists

wait don't tell me someone has not named their RU-vid channel (Bruce wayne) before other then you

With Young Justice, most of the animation is 12 drawings per second (as opposed to the 24 you see in Disney movies). So that's 720 drawings per minute, and 15,840 drawings per 22 minute episode. But not all drawings are created equal. In a Disney movie, those 15,840 drawings would take forever to make and would only amount to 11 minutes, because the drawings are more complicated, the characters move around way more, and the drawings are shown on screen for only 1 frame of film instead of 2. It looks great, but it's not feasible for a TV production. Instead, shows like Young Justice use various tricks to make the work more manageable. For one thing, they’ll have it so that in most scenes, only one part of a character’s body is moving (usually the mouth or the head). That way they don’t have to redraw the entire character every single time, just the part that needs to move. And while the line art created by the animators is drawn with actual pencils, it's later scanned into a computer and colored-in digitally. Before the late 1990s, TV cartoons were colored by tracing over the drawings on a clear sheet of paper and painting the character's colors on the back of the clear sheet. Then those clear sheets were photographed by a movie camera. Digital animation programs make it easier to color things in and edit the footage together; they don't however make the actual animating easier as other commenters have said. Another thing is that Young Justice and almost all other TV cartoons outsource the actual animating to Korean studios. I don’t know all the details, but it’s cheaper and faster than hiring an American crew. I think the pay is less, so they can have larger numbers of animators working on it and therefore create more footage in less time. It’s the only way American entertainment companies are able to release large batches of hand-drawn cartoons in a manageable amount of time while keeping costs low. Whether or not it’s a shady business practice is another question. TLDR: yes it is really that many drawings (often more). They just use shortcuts to produce the episodes in a matter of months instead of years.

+Chelsea Traynor amazing fact, thankd

They also like to have alot of flashbacks in most cartoons so they can reuse stuff that was already made.

i need to warn you about something God will judge you on judgment day. you must repent(to ask God for forgivness and stop sinning) and trust in Jesus

Same :0 i’m really interested in this, vest wishes for u in ur future~

@@porstmouthstreetpreachers7686 Nobofy cares

you’re 23 now

Savannagh Trezza Of course, I've done that many times. Just use a printer/scanner...cut out the images on paint, if there are several per page, then edit them altogether with WMM or a better movie software.

ferise1 Great to know. Now I gotta find a working printer...

Hey Come Check My Channel Out Watch N Make DIY

+Cartoonic TV no your videos suck

In anime (especially tv episodes) they tend to use multiple frames of the same drawing. Usually 2 and 3 frames, up to many more for longer, more basic action. They use tricks like recycling frames for movement in hair, clothes, etc. They also have hundreds of staff working at the same time. You only need a handful of key frame animators, but the more inbetweeners you have, the quicker the turnaround. This all adds to the stylized look we know as anime, but was mainly implemented to save time and more importantly, money.

northpolethrowdown oh i see, thank u man.

northpolethrowdown And btw how many pieces or paper they are doing in a day?

They take 1 week cause there isn't really much animation in anime. Often times the characters are frozen while the mouth has 3 different frames for talking, eyes glistening and hair waving (loop animations) as well as camera movement. When a character is in shock for example - it isn't unusual for to see a still image while a gasp is heard. There can also be many flashbacks that act as slideshows. So really the hard work comes mostly from the detail and art work of the shows, not necessarily the *animation*. Nonetheless, the more detail and depth put into the design of the character, the more work it is to animate them. Everything I just mentioned can vary on the style and how many are working at the same time.

Thay animet on a cumputer sooo it will be faster

eh don't worry. in the long run, it'll be fun.

Is there a program you can recommend?
