[0:09] process of making anime is intricate and
[0:11] time consuming on average it can take a
[0:13] year or more just to produce 12 episodes
[0:16] of an animous series crazy right well
[0:18] prepare your snakes because in just a
[0:19] few short minutes I'm going to take you
[0:21] on a fascinating journey and reveal the
[0:23] secrets of how anime is
[0:28] made anime production is a complex
[0:31] process that involves many specific
[0:33] parts I'll try to explain it as simply
[0:35] as possible once a series and a studio
[0:38] have been decided the main production
[0:40] staff including the director producer
[0:43] and episode director hold the meeting to
[0:45] determine who will be involved in a ra
[0:47] production this includes positions like
[0:49] character designer animation supervisor
[0:52] key frame animator INB animator CG
[0:55] director art director color selector
[0:58] sound director voice actors as artist
[1:01] and more each position may be filled
[1:03] byal people resulting in a stuff of 50
[1:06] to 100 people the production stage is
[1:08] divided into three stages the
[1:10] pre-production production and post-
[1:13] production in the pre-production stage
[1:15] the director producer story writer and
[1:18] the original author if it's not an
[1:20] original series create the scrip for
[1:22] each specific episode once the scrip is
[1:24] complete the series director or episode
[1:27] director creates the storyboard
[1:29] storyboards are crucial because they are
[1:31] sequential drawings detailing the major
[1:33] scenes of the series and include
[1:35] information about dialogue music SX and
[1:38] camera work it's the first step in
[1:40] bringing the script to life after the
[1:42] story boards is completed the character
[1:44] designer will create detailed animation
[1:46] character designs to be used as
[1:48] reference by animators during the
[1:50] production stage the character designer
[1:52] will often work closely with episode
[1:54] director and art designer to establish
[1:56] the overall visual look of the sh
[1:58] characters the art designer on the other
[2:00] hand will develop the overall visual
[2:02] look of the production by creating the
[2:04] detailed designs of location item or
[2:06] objects vehicles and the characters
[2:09] finally the color designer will set the
[2:11] main color palette to be used by the
[2:12] finishing Department to color completed
[2:15] animation prior to the use of digital
[2:17] coloring techniques the color designer
[2:19] used specific RGB color scod that were
[2:22] consistent between computers ensures
[2:24] that the anime Visual and narrative
[2:25] elements are cohesive and engaging now
[2:27] we come to the most exciting and
[2:29] challenging stage the production stage
[2:32] to make it easier to understand let's
[2:33] break it into several groups first up is
[2:35] the support groups which includes
[2:37] production manager and assistant
[2:38] production manager their role is to
[2:40] ensure that everything is on schedule
[2:42] within budget and that production
[2:43] Milestones are met they coordinate withs
[2:46] each production Department track
[2:48] progress and deliver production
[2:49] materials from one to another department
[2:52] next is the animators group within this
[2:53] group we have the key frame animators
[2:55] who are some of the most talented
[2:57] artists in this studio they create
[2:59] detailed version of the storyboard image
[3:01] or layouts they have been assigned and
[3:03] are responsible for drawing the key
[3:05] frames pyal moments within the animation
[3:07] that def find a sense motion then in
[3:09] between animators work closely with the
[3:11] key frame animators to draw the
[3:13] remaining frames needed to complete a
[3:15] sequence of Animation they trace and
[3:17] clean ups the lines of the key frames
[3:19] then draw the missing frames based on
[3:21] the timing shet fed by the key frame
[3:23] animator but we're not done yet the
[3:25] third group is just as important quality
[3:27] control group first up is the animation
[3:29] supervisor who oversees checks and
[3:31] corrects the key animators layouts and
[3:33] drawings they are the first layer of
[3:35] quality control for an episode the chief
[3:37] animation supervisor Works directly
[3:39] under the supervising director of
[3:41] animation and acts as a second layer of
[3:43] quality control correcting drawings
[3:45] before the are reviewed by the
[3:46] supervising director one of the most
[3:48] important group in this production
[3:50] process is of course the computer
[3:52] Graphics Group leted by the CG director
[3:55] they oversee and manage all aspects of
[3:57] the CG team's work ensuring visual
[3:59] consistency with the 2D animation CG
[4:01] artists create the 3D models and texture
[4:03] while CG animators brings them to life
[4:05] and compile them into scenes using
[4:07] technology another crucial group is the
[4:09] finishing Group which includes the
[4:11] background artist who create the scene
[4:13] backgrounds based on the key animators
[4:15] layout the art director supervises and
[4:17] produce background art ensuring
[4:19] consistency across all scenes while the
[4:21] color selectors add colors to each scene
[4:24] based on the main palette established by
[4:26] the color designer you still remember
[4:28] that right cuz I hope so and and finally
[4:30] the supervising director of Animation
[4:32] checks and approves all animation
[4:34] ensuring it address to the storyboards
[4:36] and character design after their
[4:38] approval we move on to the post
[4:40] production stage in the post- production
[4:42] stage the audio director and soundtrack
[4:44] composer collaborate to create a
[4:46] captivating musical score and background
[4:48] music that perfectly fits the shes
[4:50] meanwhile the sound effect engineer is
[4:52] responsible for producing all the sound
[4:54] effects necessary for the anime using a
[4:56] variet of techniques such as
[4:57] manipulating real world sounds are using
[5:00] digital sounds libas the voice actors
[5:02] then bringing the characters to Life by
[5:04] voicing over day lines matching their
[5:06] voice with the character lip movements
[5:07] and performing their lines with the
[5:09] appropriate emotion tone and delivery
[5:11] the sound mixer records their voice
[5:13] acting data in the voice acting
[5:15] recording room including voice editing
[5:17] marging voice acting recordings sound
