Animating a scene from Deca-Dence

[@mttscz]

Life changing content for self-taught artists :')

[@tokyo_skull]

DONGGGGGGGGG !!! YOUVE BEEN A GREAT HELP FOR ME SO FAR!!:)) THANKS SO MUCH!

[@ZCoreStudio]

you just made me realize how important is to be good at layout for both animations and backgrounds now I have to learn how to be a good layout artist before even moving to animations

[@HelloKitty-iq8tt]

Don’t limit yourself from learning one skill just because you haven’t mastered the other. You’ll never do anything perfect so just get into animating. You’ll be better after learning layout but still keep learning what you can.

[@aminestudio1978]

Is it possible to self-taught animator to work in the industry without going to any animation school ?

[@NigelSu-t3r]

It is, and many animatiors did that.

[@JBish0]

Most jobs in the art industry are portfolio based, if you got a good demo reel they’ll overlook gaps in a CV

[@dimasanggayuda3966]

I'm a self taught animator and I've been working for several animation studios in my country for three years. I want to work for international animation studios tho, but haven't had any luck yet

[@MrDaiohAzu]

@@dimasanggayuda3966 a more specific question : is it possible to be a self-taught SOLO animator (that does all the animation parts, from bg, to animation, to inbetween, to coloring, to compositing, to sound effect) while only practicing around 1 hour per day ?

how to draw clouds in japanese art style

[@animetoonshd3889]

I actually find anime clouds to look pretty realistic so practice from life first

[@jffaust]

I LOVED Deca-Dence. Never thought I would stumble upon content from one of the original animators. Very interesting, thanks for sharing ❤

[@netizen6958]

Mr. Chang, would you talk about anime background especially digital one? How they make them, the process, what software to use, and the technical aspects of it.

[@Xenocr0ss]

Ive been subbed for quite some time now, and everytime i see something Deca-Dence related from you, i cant help but inhale said content. I really thank you for your work on it.

[@iloveonandnkimlc2065]

Bruh this is so flipping good.... Dong Chang can I hire you as an animator pls...

[@iloveonandnkimlc2065]

Thanks for the like who ever you are

[@ovn_tamil]

If you're serious about it, you should just reach out to him via his business email on his bio

[@iloveonandnkimlc2065]

@@ovn_tamil oh thanks

[@MrDaiohAzu]

Will you do more videos on animation compositing ? That'd be great, thx

[@quyetnguyenthe6209]

Love your videos! Im going to work as an anime trainee animator in Japan, your videos help me so much!

[@FlyingCowSN]

Is it ok to show us the work of projects? How does the copywrite with sakuga works? Am I allowed to reveal my sakuga when show is done? I feel I should not. but I want some feedbacks

[@ovn_tamil]

You can request the production team for permission to showcase your work on social media. Studios are not that stringent to not let their animators showcase their work lol, they'll let you post it freely. But the episode you've worked on, should've been released already, otherwise you're just leaking the episode before it airs 💀. Many animators on twitter constantly do behind the scenes or their work showcase, which also basically acts like a free promotion for the anime, its beneficial for the studio too

[@FlyingCowSN]

@@ovn_tamil oh Thats good to hear.

[@TheArtKingdomYT]

Hey Dong! Thanks for your contributions as always! Your information is always supper helpful!

[@kungfuremix]

These videos keep my excitement for wanting to do animation going! I respect the passion you put into each video and gives everybody the opportunity to want to try something that they always dream of doing. Thank you, Dong Chang sensei!

Dong. Beautiful work as always.

[@AlinkBee]

Great work ! I'm reaching out to ask if you have a storyboard template available. It would be really helpful for planning my videos. Thank you so much for your time and assistance! Best regards

[@demiremi]

Thanks for the process videos.

[@Draxthedudex]

Can you do another video on action/Fighting?

[@I-AM-SPAZZ]

PLEASE! Make a video on how to simplify drawings. I am so stressed trying to find a way to draw. I used to draw super good but for some reason I am falling back to the basics :( I could really use some help.

[@drewadams3498]

I adore your videos. To be able to take a look into how this medium of art is produced is so fascinating! Brilliant work!

[@steinmov]

Would you tell me how long you had to complete this shot during production? You mentioned that there is facial acting during the end of the shot. Was this included in the original time you did the shot?

[@rukusu11]

Hi dong, i wanna know is there any good software than CSP? is blender are bad?

[@Kanbarusu]

Can you do the 12 principles in your style

[@nat3_77]

Just found this channel and this was more than helpful, thanks Dong

[@ChuuritsuTv]

How do you actually approach drawing using that template? I have noticed I usually keep drawing even outside the designated frame (like you do as well in the video), but then as a result it actually ends up looking slightly worse when you cut it in After Effects afterwards

[@yavnrh]

I think it's matching the original shot and the storyboard, too. Probably it was meant to be cropped like this (e.g. by the director). As for drawing outside the frame, this is basically necessary to draw a balanced character. Otherwise it's hard to see if the body has the correct proportions.

[@ChuuritsuTv]

@@yavnrh That doesn't really answer my question :(

[@yavnrh]

Hehe sorry 😅 You are probably doing it right already. If you feel like you are cutting too much, maybe draw a bit smaller to fit what you wanted inside the frame.

[@someone_7233]

Wow I was thinking about rewatching deca dence two days ago 😮❤ The animators did an amazing job, one of the best original animes out there

[@justarandomguy8738]

Is raw sketch storyboard a must before animating?
