This Is How Anime is Animated.

[00:00] so anime is a genre of japanese

[00:02] animation it's an absolutely huge

[00:04] industry and it's growing larger to this

[00:06] day obviously most anime if not all

[00:08] anime is beautiful

[00:09] with some shining above some others but

[00:12] how does anime even get created

[00:14] like who draws it and how do they color

[00:16] it it seems like a really tough job

[00:17] don't worry i'll explain everything in

[00:19] this video and don't forget to subscribe

[00:21] if you enjoy

[00:22] anyways let's get into it the process of

[00:24] animating anime is definitely a process

[00:27] it's one of the harder if not hardest

[00:29] forms of animation

[00:30] in the world simply put japanese

[00:33] animators have a lot of talent

[00:35] comparing american cartoons to anime

[00:37] lets you know what i'm getting at

[00:39] the very beginning of the animation

[00:40] process starts with everything but the

[00:42] actual animating part

[00:44] the anime production company like viz

[00:46] media or touhou animation

[00:48] will put up money for the initial

[00:49] animating process they'll also take care

[00:51] of the costs that come from airing the

[00:53] show

[00:53] and distributing it to other countries

[00:55] the actual animation studio will do the

[00:57] animating

[00:57] obviously along with paying staff and

[00:59] some other requirements beforehand

[01:01] the studio and producers will assemble

[01:03] their team and get to work

[01:04] teams and anime typically consist of

[01:06] full-time employees or

[01:07] freelance animators and a few

[01:09] full-timers you've probably heard of

[01:11] storyboarding

[01:12] this is usually the first step in

[01:13] creating an anime the director and some

[01:15] other people who specialize in

[01:16] storyboarding will put it all together

[01:18] and scriptwriters will create the script

[01:20] more times than not the studio will

[01:22] start animating way before the entire

[01:23] storyboard is done for a set episode

[01:26] just because the animation is hard and

[01:27] it's time consuming there will be many

[01:29] rough sketches and other drawings before

[01:30] the animation is finalized

[01:32] that directors and other specialists

[01:34] will look over they'll decide how the

[01:35] camera moves through a given scene and

[01:37] where the characters need to be

[01:38] positioned

[01:39] once that's all said and done key

[01:40] animators will start drawing the

[01:42] characters with other younger animators

[01:44] filling in the gaps between

[01:45] keys by drawing the movement basically a

[01:47] key animation is the drawing that sits

[01:49] on the screen which

[01:50] is an important one because we take a

[01:52] lot of time looking at this the newer

[01:53] animators draw the movement because we

[01:55] see these frames for a lot less time

[01:57] so the quality doesn't really mean as

[01:59] much there are some scenes in anime that

[02:01] probably use key animators drawing

[02:03] all the sequences just because every

[02:05] frame is important the whole animating

[02:07] process is definitely the longest out of

[02:09] everything that goes into creating an

[02:11] anime

[02:12] for some smaller studios or for studios

[02:14] with newer animators they could see many

[02:16] nights where employees sleep over at the

[02:18] building

[02:18] even with larger companies that animate

[02:20] this concept is not foreign

[02:22] animating is ridiculously hard so if you

[02:24] watch a beautiful anime

[02:26] just remember how hard the animators

[02:27] worked on it back in the day special

[02:29] background artists would watercolor

[02:31] paint the backgrounds for anime

[02:32] on an actual sheet of paper but newer

[02:35] shows will usually

[02:36] digitally create their background with

[02:37] maybe a few exceptions

[02:39] all drawing in anime gets revised before

[02:41] production and color

[02:42] just to ensure quality and frame

[02:44] consistency after the drawings are

[02:46] finalized and revised

[02:47] color artists from a studio's coloring

[02:49] team digitalize color and clean up the

[02:51] animation

[02:52] the process of coloring frames and anime

[02:54] proves to be a difficult task

[02:55] much like animating the actual anime

[02:57] they'll fill in the black then skin

[02:59] clothes hair

[03:00] eyes then shade the whole character and

[03:02] this process is repeated

[03:03] a lot i'm sure they have ways to

[03:05] digitally color in an easier way that

[03:07] helps make it less monotonous

[03:09] once everything's animated and colored

[03:11] an effects team will take hold of the

[03:12] anime and add little things that make a

[03:14] lot of difference in the end

[03:15] like the shining of a sword or smoke on

[03:17] a cigar the voice actors will then do

[03:19] their work which can take a long time

[03:21] but is probably the most fun part in

[03:23] producing anime and after everything is

[03:25] revised and revised again

[03:26] and finalized they'll set up a date for

[03:28] broadcast if said anime is airing on tv

[03:31] or they'll just say a release date

[03:33] wherever it's being shown some animes

[03:35] and anime movies can take

[03:36] years to make just depending on what the

[03:38] anime is

[03:39] and the requirements for animation

[03:41] quality animators have a really tough

[03:42] job but they're creating some of the

[03:44] best works in history

[03:46] so i hope all the work is worth what

[03:47] they get thanks for watching that's a

[03:49] basic understanding of the animation

[03:50] process

[03:51] leave a comment and as always thanks for

[03:58] watching
