I've been wanting to create my own cartoons for my entire childhood, I want to tell stories that have depth, meaning, bleed, I have watched over 400 cartoons, I created so many different plots over the course of 7 years, but could never do anything with the things I knew, so, I'm working to create my own company for Art & Design, and cartoons are in it, I've been waiting for so long, I've been critically excited to know, and because I don't have a team, I decided to just make comics to start, as well as books since I love making stories so much, I love creating my own reality in the form of entertainment, I want others to see how hard my work was to create it, I've been working on one idea for over 2 years and FINALLY made my main mark last night. So, I'm working to create comics until I get a team, but like I said, I'm making comics in the process, as well as books, just watch, I'm going to succeed for real in entertainment, I'm dedicated to my dream, with no intent to fail!!

In the early 80's, video games used to be made by a single person or maybe a small group of people (like 2 or 3). That eventually changed to teams of people and now, there are also independent game makers who either make games by themselves or with a small group. The tools have improved productivity so that it doesn't have to take a team of dozens to creat a decent game. Hopefully animation will follow the same pattern.

This video is just perfect! It has so many sentiments that i kinda already felt and knew, but didnt know how to express :) creating an animated series just has to be an obsession for you if you want to make it. I know that cause i dipped my feet into animation for about 3 years now, but never felt confident enough to really stick with it and while my 50 different anime ideas have all vanished, right now I'm working on a short clip (about 5min), and I'm sticking with it. If anyone is interested in that, it's all on my channel (plus some very general tutorials for animation) Again, thank you for this video ^^

[@MXALOVE]

I’m not an animator, but the one thing i’ve been doing was designing characters, I think that’s my thing, i’m not even the best artist but I know what my characters are suppose to look like, and when I have the opportunity i’ll be hopefully able to commission artists to help put it all together. I know everything about my story and I can handle writing, but I can see now i’ll need a little help. and i’ll get there some day.

[@Vibrant_Sunny]

Bro, me too!! I'd suggest that everyone has their own job that they do best. Make sure to do research on how to make make nicely formatted scripts where the comic artist can understand what you want them to draw, kinda like a movie script. What my friends and me decided was to have a script writer (me), sketch artist (friend 1), coloring and line art for characters (me), and background designs, (friend two). Make sure that everyone in the group has an understanding of how the story will end and begin so the process can go smoother.

[@Rumplegirlskin]

Yenii Animations You method is excellent for beginners or people doing simple animated series that they don’t plan on having multiple series or a major network affiliation. However, the best writers, artist, musician, etc...hit walls. Once you are widely known and accepted you can’t have those gaps. You have to have a lot in your catalog so that if things like; life problems, broken equipment, lack of ideas, etc... you won’t let your fans down or lose your popularity. Fans don’t like gaps, especially long ones.

[@crawlythespider2255]

I know I'm just some 13 year old with hardly any motivation but I think this is the best time to start making a series. I haven't thought of making an animated series that long ago until I tried remaking one of my lost books from a very long time ago called "Cat Tails" witch was about a cat named Star and her friend Jake going to see this girl named Queen from over a bridge they have never seen before everyday. There's not much more then that except for the time when jake got eliminated by his bully. For the remake of the book, at like ten chapters in, I wanted to call it "Forest Fires" because well, there was gonna be forest forest fires. The "remake" of my old book was actually gonna be almost completely different from it, it has WAY more characters, (and some that are extremely close to my heart) it has a HUGE amount of lore, and it's WAY longer. The main reason of the story is that Queen is trying to give out potions that brainwash the people who lived in her area (sunny meadow) into thinking this team of people that are trying to stop her from her bad doings (like hurting people and setting forest fires on purpose) are the bad people and need to be eliminated (witch if they over-dose on The potion it will turn them into two different types of monster looking creatures and there is a very low chance you can control yourself again) And there are a lot of characters that were forced to take it and be a slave at her castle. (i know it's dark but stay with me) The whole series is really just about stopping her from causing more chaos. The only problem I'm having is the fact that all I can use is flipaclip on this small phone with only fingers. :(

Fr

[@Sobak2481]

Mabey before you go and make an entire show, maybe go and make a short animation/a small cartoon series so you get a fell 4 it.

[@madsniperD]

The real advice right here

[@narnia1233]

Exactly. I’m an old fart and I like to watch nonprofessional work as well as professional work. Can’t tell you how many people lose interest in their series because they were trying to create a long epic. There’s various reasons for this: 1) They lose interest in their series because they got better at art and storytelling and now no longer like the series they originally came up with. But they try to hang on to it but eventually just quit. Or they promise to redraw/rewrite the whole thing again and that usually also never happens. 2) They don’t fully write the entire story but they go ahead creating an animation series and eventually they hit a roadblock and they never complete it because they don’t know how/where their story can/should go. 3) They lose interest because it is taking way too much time and effort to make and real life gets in the way. And more. So yes, I really really recommend people first focus on completing a story. And make it a very very short story. Like maybe just a one episode thing, a one-shot. And write the whole story first. And, if possible, have your story reviewed by another person. Then rewrite bits if they need work and listen to advice. Once you’re satisfied with the story, then you can begin animating. And plan to set realistic expectations of how fast you can animate a scene and try to maybe animate the whole short story in 6 months or less. Essentially try to not spend too much time creating a masterpiece. Because it’s really just so you get experience and for you to grow in skill. You’re wanting to avoid staying with one project for too long when you’re just starting out, because your style will change and then you’ll want to move on from that work. Anyways, it’s never a perfect process. So you’ll probably still have some projects that never get completed. But if you’re completing most work you will be seen as more professional and organized than the average person. Plus having experience completing work will make you more confident to keep going and gradually taking on larger projects.

[@alfredmanzano680]

Appreciate it man, I’ve officially started doing things towards my animated idea and everything you said really rang true.

[@bubbleming1366]

This really helps thank you! I had this in the back of my head for a while and only thought of making a comic but didn't know how to start and really didn't have the time to with school and now I have a much more relaxed schedule because I got the hang of planning things but now I have too much free time and I want to do something with it. I usually just draw in photoshop, making rigs and stuff but right now it isn't so fun nor interesting so I went to check out some of my old work and found a old word document of a story and a world building template filled in. I noticed this was when I was maybe 9 yrs old and it was pretty filled out and done but the descriptions and logic in it didn't make sense so I was looking around on how to make the old story into something new so this will be my first time creating a story and maybe animating. and again thank you so much!

Carla Miayoukou It sounds cool! I would watch it! Good luck!

[@reygon3600]

@Carla Miayoukou Why not 1 to 2 min shorts based off the football series? A scope into the slice of life parts of the MC, like details that aren't important but cool to expand upon. It allows you to practice within the universe, practice drawing the MC, and maybe you'll sprout some new ideas that you'll like to add to the big project. Plus, you can post these clips on social media, building an audience who is interested to watch more.

[@reygon3600]

@Carla Miayoukou sounds great! Im no expert so take my suggestion with a half a grain of salt (lol). It really depends on how much time you want to market your short. Building no audience is a risky way of never getting you product out, but with a trailer released a month, or a few months before let's you get some hype up. Just be careful to not do it too early because the hype wave can die out, too.

Hey! I am 15 years old and i just started animation on Krita, so i am new here. In this video you also showed me how to use these layers cuz i had no idea, u generally helped me very much and thank you for that!

[@sunshinex3chief551]

thank you very much. I've had scripts/ short stories I've been sitting on and this was very inspiring this is very encouraging definitely subscribing!

[@alexmental7177]

This was actually quite helpful, I've been think for a LONG time to make an animated series as well :)

Have hit a bit of art block today, haven’t really been motivated to do anything, and then this video appears in my feed. I’m gonna go create some characters now.

[@M1LKBO1-]

good luck!!!!!

[@leslievanharlingen_metcalf4734]

thanks bro! i have been thinking about doing this for years now, thanks for the push and for helping me start

[@joshuasmith2486]

Thanks dude. You're right, there's no better way to do this than to just get started and face what comes your way. Thanks for sharing what I'll need to get started.

[@greybot7457]

Thank you so much for your advice, I’ve been designing a bunch of characters for a year and a half and have been writing about them for six months. I’m really passionate about this and even though I’m still in middle school, I want to flesh it out and make it a fully animated series in a few years. Again, thank you so much!

[@CriticalErrorexe]

I love how passionate your about this :)

[@julietterogasik9107]

Keep at it!! If you have the time (and discipline and passion) to start this early, you're sure to be successful. Wishing you the best of luck!! :)

This video popped into my feed at a perfect time. I'm currently working on an animated series and I have been struggling to get my series off the ground. I accept that my first series isn't gonna look like how I imagined it would be. I'm just more focused on finishing what I started. Also, I'm glad there's a KZbin channel dedicated to what goes into creating an animated series and how start making one. Keep up the good work!

[@scapegoatgacha]

I imagined a tv show and pitched it to some frienda on discord and we're now working on it but lately we've been having some trouble so this was really helpful! Thanks, dude! ❤

I have actually been writing down ideas for a story and drawing characters for a series I plan on making. And I have tons and tons of friends and other people helping me out with it. And I came here thinking that maybe I’m missing a few things and maybe there’s other I am missing, and this was very helpful to help me out with it!

"Start making the animated series. NOW. GO!" *Crying at 12 am because I have nothing to use and I should really be sleeping, but now I'm thinking about it so I end up redesigning the main character again and nothing productive*

I turned 20 this month and I’m on my last year at animation school and I’m really anxious on what I’m going to do next year, I really want to make my own animated series like some of the popular animated shows today. this helped me calm down a bit and hopefully I can figure out how to do it soon.

[@heartsybeats45]

Yes thank you I'm going to start animating right now >:) I'll be sure to check out your animated series sometime this week :D

I'm working on a voice acted gacha series and just got SO inspired to finish the voice claims! Thank you for the help and inspiration!

[@ink6048]

I know that this video is over a year old now, but I really needed this. I’ve always kinda pushed my “story” to the side because I over rationalize and think that having an animated series is every animator’s dream, and that if I were fulfilling mine I wouldn’t be creating anything new or worthwhile to other people. But this video really inspired me to get my butt moving anyways. I’m returning back to an unfinished project regarding this story and I’m way happier with how it is looking now than how it did before, and I’ve been doing a lot more story building than before. This little push into the deep end is something I believe everyone needs.

[@deanotastic880]

Hi, firstly, it is nice to see that you are making a dream of yours come true! However, I was wondering if you could help me? Considering what you had said in this comment, it would seem that you know what tools and materials you would need to make an animation. Is there any way you could tell me what software to use and/or any other helpful tips and info that I could use?

[@ink6048]

@@deanotastic880 thanks!! I have a touchscreen with windows so I use firealpaca- it’s free, and very beginner friendly. It also has a lot of features for a free art/animation program!! :)

Great advice, I agree. Thanks dude you inspired me I’m gonna make my own animated series. The long dreary painful months of work isn’t enough to deter me, I love challenges and I won’t stop until I see my imagination be real

[@Wildlife_Story_Time]

I am a 59 yr old, just learning animation. I have done exactly as you have advised in this video, before I watched. I came onto youtube looking for advice, thinking my silly little animation series I started is an embarrassment BUT as you have pointed out, I am learning more from actually jumping and just teaching myself as I go. Very cool to have you confirm this method, thank you.

[@ameernewell83]

Thanks so much Sebastian! I watch this every time I feel unmotivated. I really appreciate it.😊❤

[@OneTwoRedBlue]

This is a simple yet very effective video. You have some inspiring words and especially great artwork! I love watching behind the scenes work for animations so watching this video was a pleasant surprise. I’m working on an animated pilot and it’s really tedious to do everything by myself, but it’s been such a blast and I can’t wait to share it with everyone. Thanks for the motivating video

[@sad_melli7270]

Wow, this video helped me a lot, I’m actually writing my own story which I’ll be sooner or later uploading to the internet, it’s just story of my original characters but my dream is to animate it and get voiced by famous people!!!! But first of all... let’s start creating dreams, and you should too ✨

[@Silver01Son]

That's great!

[@chriscsmoon436]

This is very good advice. Also I like the straight way of talking. You got me moving and stoping watching a tone of tutorials. Thank you!

[@drewo.127]

Gotta go finish my animated compilation so I’ll make this quick: Thank you for snapping me out of my idea spiral! You can be super pumped and excited for your first few projects, but if you start thinking TOO outside the box all at once, you’ll get stuck in a never ending train of ideas that you haven’t even started yet, let alone can actually do right now! I fall into that trap a lot, and a lot of time I watch a bunch of videos about cool animated projects, or tutorials about software I have, and filmmaking techniques, and screenwriting, and sound design, audio recording, and many MANY MORE things! All of that is good, but not when it’s preventing me to ACTUALLY put the knowledge into action in my work! Thanks for the wake up call! I really need it! Now, gotta get back to my software!💖👍

[@sophiasmith1437]

I was really started getting into cartoons after watching this one show and I watched documentaries about behind the show and that really inspired me to make a cartoon too and it gave me a bunch of ideas and after watching this video I just got the biggest smile

[@tylerrblx5778]

My animated series idea: Name: The Shards of Specialty Characters: Nicky (12 yrs, Energetic with a kick, Memey, etc) Coppel (12 yrs, Sarcastic, Impatient, Smart) *alot more characters if you want me to explain all of em* Plot: Nicky and Coppel have a Great Great Grandfather who made a landmark which contains special crystals that radiate power that makes the children special with powers. But, a team called the *D.O.E FORCES* that want to hunt them down. A team with multiple powerful villains that are hunting them down, these villains are slackers. They don't wanna target these little 12 year old's, but if the villains do not at least try to battle them they will be killed by the leader, Doe. These kids do not care and are in their own world. Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Comedy Rated: PG - PG13 tell me how you feel about it in the replies

[@itzswapzz1258]

Thanks, I originally joined a group to create an animation upon graduation of my school. But those who were assigned positions fell out over time. But this helped me get started again and hop right into it.

[@pugmommy9865]

This is exactly how I feel, I want to make a show that features everything I love in a story, and also has amazing hidden meanings and lessons in it. I already have ideas, I thought of over twenty characters. I even drew some of them. I also wrote the script for the first episode, which may still need work. But next I'll write the script for the second episode and make a comic of the first. Okay I kinda lost track of what my point was, but anyways I am getting there and this video gave me just that extra push I needed to work harder.

I was interested in knowing how people break down the process of animating. ‘Here’s what you’ll need, here’s what you’ll need to learn, and here is a couple way people get this done realistically" but this did give me some solid motivation/perspective haha
