[0:00] so anime is a genre of japanese
[0:02] animation it's an absolutely huge
[0:04] industry and it's growing larger to this
[0:06] day obviously most anime if not all
[0:08] anime is beautiful
[0:09] with some shining above some others but
[0:12] how does anime even get created
[0:14] like who draws it and how do they color
[0:16] it it seems like a really tough job
[0:17] don't worry i'll explain everything in
[0:19] this video and don't forget to subscribe
[0:21] if you enjoy
[0:22] anyways let's get into it the process of
[0:24] animating anime is definitely a process
[0:27] it's one of the harder if not hardest
[0:29] forms of animation
[0:30] in the world simply put japanese
[0:33] animators have a lot of talent
[0:35] comparing american cartoons to anime
[0:37] lets you know what i'm getting at
[0:39] the very beginning of the animation
[0:40] process starts with everything but the
[0:42] actual animating part
[0:44] the anime production company like viz
[0:46] media or touhou animation
[0:48] will put up money for the initial
[0:49] animating process they'll also take care
[0:51] of the costs that come from airing the
[0:53] show
[0:53] and distributing it to other countries
[0:55] the actual animation studio will do the
[0:57] animating
[0:57] obviously along with paying staff and
[0:59] some other requirements beforehand
[1:01] the studio and producers will assemble
[1:03] their team and get to work
[1:04] teams and anime typically consist of
[1:06] full-time employees or
[1:07] freelance animators and a few
[1:09] full-timers you've probably heard of
[1:11] storyboarding
[1:12] this is usually the first step in
[1:13] creating an anime the director and some
[1:15] other people who specialize in
[1:16] storyboarding will put it all together
[1:18] and scriptwriters will create the script
[1:20] more times than not the studio will
[1:22] start animating way before the entire
[1:23] storyboard is done for a set episode
[1:26] just because the animation is hard and
[1:27] it's time consuming there will be many
[1:29] rough sketches and other drawings before
[1:30] the animation is finalized
[1:32] that directors and other specialists
[1:34] will look over they'll decide how the
[1:35] camera moves through a given scene and
[1:37] where the characters need to be
[1:38] positioned
[1:39] once that's all said and done key
[1:40] animators will start drawing the
[1:42] characters with other younger animators
[1:44] filling in the gaps between
[1:45] keys by drawing the movement basically a
[1:47] key animation is the drawing that sits
[1:49] on the screen which
[1:50] is an important one because we take a
[1:52] lot of time looking at this the newer
[1:53] animators draw the movement because we
[1:55] see these frames for a lot less time
[1:57] so the quality doesn't really mean as
[1:59] much there are some scenes in anime that
[2:01] probably use key animators drawing
[2:03] all the sequences just because every
[2:05] frame is important the whole animating
[2:07] process is definitely the longest out of
[2:09] everything that goes into creating an
[2:11] anime
[2:12] for some smaller studios or for studios
[2:14] with newer animators they could see many
[2:16] nights where employees sleep over at the
[2:18] building
[2:18] even with larger companies that animate
[2:20] this concept is not foreign
[2:22] animating is ridiculously hard so if you
[2:24] watch a beautiful anime
[2:26] just remember how hard the animators
[2:27] worked on it back in the day special
[2:29] background artists would watercolor
[2:31] paint the backgrounds for anime
[2:32] on an actual sheet of paper but newer
[2:35] shows will usually
[2:36] digitally create their background with
[2:37] maybe a few exceptions
[2:39] all drawing in anime gets revised before
[2:41] production and color
[2:42] just to ensure quality and frame
[2:44] consistency after the drawings are
[2:46] finalized and revised
[2:47] color artists from a studio's coloring
[2:49] team digitalize color and clean up the
[2:51] animation
[2:52] the process of coloring frames and anime
[2:54] proves to be a difficult task
[2:55] much like animating the actual anime
[2:57] they'll fill in the black then skin
[2:59] clothes hair
[3:00] eyes then shade the whole character and
[3:02] this process is repeated
[3:03] a lot i'm sure they have ways to
[3:05] digitally color in an easier way that
[3:07] helps make it less monotonous
[3:09] once everything's animated and colored
[3:11] an effects team will take hold of the
[3:12] anime and add little things that make a
[3:14] lot of difference in the end
[3:15] like the shining of a sword or smoke on
[3:17] a cigar the voice actors will then do
[3:19] their work which can take a long time
[3:21] but is probably the most fun part in
[3:23] producing anime and after everything is
[3:25] revised and revised again
[3:26] and finalized they'll set up a date for
[3:28] broadcast if said anime is airing on tv
[3:31] or they'll just say a release date
[3:33] wherever it's being shown some animes
[3:35] and anime movies can take
[3:36] years to make just depending on what the
[3:38] anime is
[3:39] and the requirements for animation
[3:41] quality animators have a really tough
[3:42] job but they're creating some of the
[3:44] best works in history
[3:46] so i hope all the work is worth what
[3:47] they get thanks for watching that's a
[3:49] basic understanding of the animation
[3:50] process
[3:51] leave a comment and as always thanks for
[3:58] watching
