Guide to MAPS │Animation on Youtube

[@kuzillon]

Realized I mention animatics but don’t explain them, so here it goes! They are similar to PMVs in that they aren’t full animation, but usually lack the sliding elements and focus on music (although there will probably be some sort of audio) and will often consist of more rough drawings than complete, colored ones. And if you have any questions about this topic, ask away!

[@shortanimations50]

I have a question on a video I made would my fairytale and gossip animations be considered pmv or animatic? It's to music. The frames are mostly still but in gossip animation I do have a raising hand.

[@nemuikujira]

@@shortanimations50 I don’t see them on your channel but it’s PMV if it’s a video of pictures moving only slightly, usually in simple directions. An AMV is frame-by-frame animation or sometime tweening, where the motion is more detailed and in more quantity, and the drawings aren’t just still images moving across the screen. I have examples of PMVS and animations in my channel if you want to see what a fully finished example would look like, I also have ones with both AMV and PMV in on video. I like the art you have so far though, just didn’t see the ones you listed (I’m blind)

Also, you may see the abbreviation MEP. A MEP stands for multi *editor* project, they work the same as a MAP except it’s for people who edit existing animation/pictures instead of drawing them themselves. I thought I might mention this as I am a member of the Gacha community and we host MEPs instead of MAPs.

[@Maple_tree_dat_animates123]

Also do you mind if i say what communities i know post MEPs? As an existing member of the warriors community and the wcue community ik alot abt both ^ ^ The gacha community, The wcue community, Likely other communities that have character storytime aspects aswell, (ex: playing as your character)

[@trishapellis]

Thank you! Asking google about the abbreviation 'MAP' mostly leads to very unsavory people. You're the only person I found without searching for half an hour who actually explains what the abbreviation means in the specific context of KZbin videos.

[@tjan23]

You should totally host a MAP!

[@rax_staarz]

I already knew these, but thanks for some extra information! I'll totally try to join your MAP if you end up hosting one

[@eveey]

Wow! I'm glad this channel got recommended to me. You just got a new fan. ^^

[@ASDFUIL]

PMV stands for Pony Music Video

[@NoPhoenix]

"Wait it was always mlp?" "Always has been"

[@inkycorvid3248]

It is both.

[@Lost_Eclipse]

thx for helping! i didnt knew what pmv stands by, even knowing how works, so really helped!

[@CadaGCreations.]

Thank you I was wanting to host one for Halloween but didn’t know how! Little did I know I was on the right path with the backups and something similar to a map call, more like a hey guys I’m doing this lol 😂

[@RIra.g1rl]

Thank you for this! I am looking for ways to host my on AMV/PMV some time!

[@JaliceTheShort]

I just joined my first one, rn im doing my best to fully color it, it's painful even though I have a month to animate it I'm doing it within 3 days because i have school in 2 days. I wasn't expecting the deadline to be so short but I feel bad for leaving so I'm still gonna do it. ;-;

[@Moxalotl12]

Good luck! I’m working on a map part too

[@Lil_Angel_Films]

So those videos from Schaffrillas that were made by multiple animators with the Disney songs are MAPS? Thanks for the infamtion of this video. You don't know how happy I am have watch this video

[@WolfArtizan]

This is an unrelated thing, but I love your lineless artstyle! I'm to lazy to try it because I feel like it would be hard to do

[@yees8827]

This needs more views

[@TheSimpsForEverythingTeen]

I dont really get the backup part quite well. 😅

[@CalyrexTheDipster]

I would like to host a map but idk if I will get copyrighted

[@Doc_Animator_N]

1:02 - 1:11 Could there also have been moments when MAPs aren't finished in time, because the host(s) couldn't find enough animators (including backups) to finish each clips? Because that's the issue I'm having. But I'm not giving up (even if I miss my intended deadline).

[@dreamydreamsofdreams]

umm heyyy! why are you not posting on ur other channel? I really miss u

[@Evan_afton198]

Question: what drawing apps do you needa use for maps? Does it have to be the same for everyone or is it like any drawing app and anyone can do different ones

[@Asher_The_Animatronic]

How do you add a part to a map? I'm hosting one and I need to know now.

[@shortanimations50]

So if you host or join a map do you have to animate it or does rhe person hosting? This is probably a stupid question but im still a bit confused

[@JaliceTheShort]

Yes, basically audios are cut up to parts. So depending if its an anything map (no script) or an Oc map (oc of host with script), you have to animate the scene/part.

[@Imidk-qx8zo]

Wait this isnt a mapping animation? NANI!?!?

[@starleo64]

One day I'd love to host or contribute to a project (even if I can't animate anything too complex, I'm just too determined because I want to try something I haven't done before regardless of my skills)

[@Maple_tree_dat_animates123]

Please host a MAP! (Also, if you want more participants, i would recommend going to book communities like WoF or Warrior cats ^ ^ )

[@Luzita_1972]

do you have to participate in a amv map that you host ?

[@kuzillon]

Hmmm I haven't thought about that. In every MAP I've joined the host did at least one of the parts. I guess it's possible for the host to not do a part, but hosts are typically animators themselves and I think the host doing a part shows the participants that they are committed to the project and aren't just sitting back using the animators skills for views lol. Hard to say though!

[@Luzita_1972]

@@kuzillon ok thank you

[@Kityrise]

I've wanted to join one for a while but I've been too scared too lol!

[@kuzillon]

The worst that can happen is you don't get in, and if you're worried about not being as skilled as the other participants, that's normal! The people who feel this way will create their best work yet out of determination to measure up lol

[@Kityrise]

Yeah I guess I am worried abt that anyway tysm for the reply!

[@Coco5698-pf9gp]

What app do you use?
