How to Start Creating Your Own Animated Series |#1|

[@Amirisphere]

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!!

[@TheArmchairrocker]

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.

[@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.

I make a webtoon. You should totally do it. its fun. You can even use the comic panels in a video format for a storyboard

[@YeniiAnimations]

Its actually really easy to make an animated series I don’t think lol, i don’t sketch every frame, i simply come up with my ideas ON THE SPOT Its the most fun way to animate, since no matter what, even u are exited to find out what happens next, however its still YOUR story, and YOUR work, its like reading your own book and being suprised by the outcome Edit: forgot to mention, that this made me rlly motivated to keep working :v Thank you.

[@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.

@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.

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. :(

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.

Thank you for this dude! I’m making a thriller/fantasy/ horror with my friend, and I’m really trying to learn how to do all of this . I already started the animatic even though the script isn’t done, but I plan to finish the script soon!

[@NonExistentGabriel]

"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*

[@tsukiyama4259]

This help a lot I feel really really motivated to start on my animation and I know I have a long road ahead of me but thank you for the motivated speech

[@Emma-xu4gn]

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!

[@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!

[@iustinaconstantinescu1183]

This is so inspirational...I really feel like your video pushes me to follow my dream. Beautiful words.

[@NobleFrugal]

Go for it!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@yeast9856]

Thank you for inspiring me to actually make an animated series!!!

[@jackyl0p]

I and my friend are actually planning on making an animated pilot, the character designs are done, the storyboard isn't really finished yet, and the only problem is we don't have the budget for voice actors and animators lmao (we'll probably start after/before college) But not gonna lie, this gave me motivation

This really helps and motivates me. It's a dream to start my own series and I hope it becomes the reality I've always envisioned it to be for soo long. I'm scared I won't be good enough to make it, but I welcome the challenge 💪💪💯⚡ Everything will stay a dream until you make one step Thank you man

[@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.

[@xxamber.skiesxx510]

Ah, yes, PASSION! the key to anything that will keep you seated for 3 hours drawing one pair of lips! This is great! I grabbed it and put on my facebook for my son to read. The passion must be there, first! and you will somehow find the TIME and the drive to do it. Just do it! No Excuses.

thing is I've been drawing since I was 2, around the age of maybe 12 or 13 I realized I wanted to make a movie but in 2017 I got into a one of the best cultures, in 2019 I decided what I wanted to do with my ideas, towards the end of 2019 I had the names of my characters, where they live, how they interact with each other, and the plot of the story. This video encouraged be and inspired me to do more, thank you. Are there any animation apps you would recommend?
