i paid animators on fiverr to make my dream anime

I woke up one day with the genius idea to launch a new animation IP called Haxware & in the blink of an eye lost $4,000... Now I know why very few people make anime & cartoon shows.. I learned a very valuable lesson.
I ACTUALLY RELEASED A MANGA: haxware.io

Even the critical role folks had a "holy shit this is expensive" moment when they tried to hire animations for their series. lucky for them, their kick starter got over $10M lol. but holy crap, animation is a lot of work and costs a lot if youre going to be fair to the people doing the animations. thousands of dollars per minute of animation is the norm (assuming decent animation)

If you're looking to create an IP, you need to write. And then add concept art to that writing. You don't need models and animations. You need to write all the content and story. Then release some or all as a PDF with concept art you've commisioned. Much cheaper and is a great first step. Then if you grow a loving fanbase, you can turn those things into more upgraded versions of the IP. Think Harry Potter or DragonBall as a manga. These IPs didn't start by making anime. You're trying to fly before learning to control your ki my guy.

Hey Jabrils, might it also be that the title of the video says too little about the video itself? I'm no way an expert at this, but that might also be a culprit in your decreasing viewership. These titles are cliche, but they say a lot more about the video, and they might peak interest in a specific element of the video. "I tried creating my own 3D anime using Fiverr, and it failed" or "I lost thousands creating my anime on fiverr".

Jabrils, WTF? Your exit plan is literally the easiest thing ever. YOU JUST APPLY FOR A JOB AS A PROGRAMMER.

And for the youtube thing all i can say is you definetly have the skills to turn it around. Just think of clickbait ideas, create clickbaity thumbnails and then actually deliver. And try to contact other content creators and ask them for advice.

@F G Frankly? Unless you have a good excuse (such as that you were providing care to a sick loved one), lie. Say you were working on your own startup but after years of false starts and failed arrangements you are now looking for steady work again. Hey, at least you got out of it before it cost you a lot of money, you were lucky. Then _have the chops to do whatever job you applied for._ These days you are almost certainly going to be given some kind of code exercise. Githubs and blogs are nice, but what I and anyone else are looking for are two things: that you know your shit and that you can solve novel problems. That second one is why code tests are important, though, so few developers actually can _do_ this that often the people that ask for code tests think it is about testing knowledge, proving you didn't make stuff up, or ephemerals about code style. No, the hardest thing to find today are people that _can demonstrate that they can think their way out of a paper bag._ That's why Jabril's channel is such a valuable asset. He's demonstrated time and again the ability to assimilate new knowledge, complex knowledge, and apply it; all without having to be shown how to do it by someone else directly.

Its sad to see you go, but I am really confused how you thought making a multimillion dollar animated franchise was a realistic youtube exit strategy. I also don't understand why you don't just release normal video games, you work on so many and yet It seems like they never get released, as if they were just made for one youtube video. If I was you, I would have just made this Jinzo animated TV show into a video game instead since that is your expertise. I am pretty similar to you in the aspect that I wish I could make tv shows but I am only able to make video games. So that is where I send my creativity. People adapt popular video games into tv shows as well so its not like that shuts off your original dream for the idea. It seems like you already have all these animated models for it so maybe thats still possible, even though they don't match.

And he announced that he is now making a web comic instead, so again it was not a joke. He took it too seriously for a joke and nothing in the video indicates that his plan to create an anime was a joke.

[@romulino]

@@Real-IlyassChafik Also he clearly dosen't make a lot of money from youtube anymore, as he is clearly telling in lots of videos, when he says the channel is dying, he means it, and we can see it in the viewcounts. This guy is amazing and do really interesting stuff, it's also very niche stuff with very limited growth in this platform. It definitely was not a joke, Just look at the start of the video, he wouldn't do that for a joke. Making a video about his failed attempt is at least a way to monetize that failure and recoup some of the lost. The weirdest part of it all is that if he had spent those 4k getting courses and software, he would probably be much better off. Even if he still decided to do just a comic.

Here is your problem: 1) Your animation looks like what you want 2) Your animation is high quality 3) Your animation is cheap Pick 2.

[@williamdowling7718]

Back in design school I had a professor who pounded this concept into our heads so that we would be prepared to talk/negotiate with clients. "good, fast, cheap. You can only pick 2." I still use that phrase now as a software developer because the advice is pretty universal. At least with software it's a it easier to convince people to pay you for it. Virtually everyone fancies themselves an artist of some kind or another. And if they arent currently an artist they "could just learn it if I wanted to." people feel like they could make the art they want, they just don't have the time. So when they want to pay someone for art, they only want to pay for the time, and not the expertise that comes along with it. With software, more people tend to view it as an unobtainable form of magic so they're quicker to accept the higher price tag. There are of course exceptions to this, but I've found it to be true in general in my experience.

Art is the other way around. seems easier for some reason. it's one of the big reasons why i got out of art/graphic design. way too much subjectivity. with software, you have a list of requirements. and if you meet those requirements.. that's it. the client can't say "yea.. it's exactly what i asked for.. but i just don't like it.. could you start again?"

Hope you never stop uploading videos, this channel is one of the best from youtube! With that said, maybe you could try crowdfunding? I know many people don't like that but I guess many of your subs would be glad to help. Best luck with your project!

[@yelowpunk]

I love how the orig model is a rich dark shade and all the redone models border on slightly tan. But I love more how classy you were to sidestep it.

[@sangowz]

Very insightful video! Thanks for making this a learning moment. I would say just keep pursuing your interests without worrying whether your work will be amazing the first time around. Like you mentioned towards the end of the video, just getting something out there is a step in the right direction. Sometimes what people want is to simply watch your journey as a creator instead of just consuming some graphical masterpiece.

this was such a rollercoaster i loved every second of it

[@brenobarbosa3489]

Dude I love your channel, not every video I watch everytime because I miss a lot but I think your so cool and funny, also I love the way you speak without moving your mouth and just reacting to the camera, but this was a nice and fun change xD keep up the good work

[@N4D3]

Bro you are the type of genius I need to team up with. I have a few dope ideas for "Black Anime". You got the right mindset and I wish you the greatest success in your ambitions famm! Don't kill your YT

[@kevinfoendoe6987]

Jabril this was hella entertaining!! Make weekly videos of you developing a cool poject, im sure that will help your brand.

[@ary5829]

I hate watching you jump headfirst into all this, but I love it at the same time 🥲

[@beerbub2641]

maybe its worth concidering going for something like a comic or rpg-style game? One is basically(while still no easy task) 50 times less work and will be able to translate your story with cool composition. And the other would be a gameformat where you can focus more on the content then the animation and whatnot (and of course you are already familiar with gamemaking) And IF those would take of and the demand arises, you could kickstart and *try* to finance this animation. Itll just be to expensive otherwise

[@universecloud7856]

took me almost 7 minutes in to realize you're ACTUALLY talking

[@2teepeepictures382]

Two years and I still go back to watch this video every once in a while. this is why I don’t try to become a freelance animator. I love animating but that does not look like an environment suited to help my mental health. I just want to tell stories and help other people tell stories.

[@jmigsan]

Bro this was so helpful

[@connorchapman4223]

Yay. You talking without your mouth moving always freaked me out. I am ready to see anything you make.

[@tylerpreall3780]

Remember perfection is the enemy of good! Interesting story on how to break into animation.

[@NastyKnox]

500 per second is not far off. It takes so many hours of your life to do one good minute of animation

[@NarendraU23]

Studio has people that are established in their field, know what to do, and how to work together. They have animator, in-betweener, concept artist, background artist, special effect expertise, 3D CGI artist, etc. Meanwhile you're doing this basically by yourself + random strangers online, that's the biggest difference. This kind of work needs many hours of communication, between people that know & trust each other, but I think you get that lesson by now. Good luck on your project!

[@mikkey246]

Well said, learning from this video too

[@10pitate]

AAAAAAAAAKH I THOUGH YOUR LAST LIPS MOVEMENT IS ON THE SUPERHERO VIDEO

[@tinylittleanj2]

Jabrils, you are amazing!

[@not_ever]

I'm glad you found your way to the inevitable conclusion before bankruptcy. I was watching this video thinking, "But Jabrils has so much talent. Why doesn't he just learn the skills to make his own models animation worthy?". That being said, I don't see how making a new channel solves your KZbin problem. I subscribed though and I hope you're successful with whatever you do.

[@MrTrocheyoshi]

Hey Jabrils, I've followed you on KZbin for years! I love your content, and I wonder if you could use more of your game dev & machine learning skills to create a youtube exit plan? I always loved your ML content as a fellow developer! You're definitely one of my favorites 👍. Best of luck in anything you're looking to do now or in the future

[@Blaxpoon]

As an animation student I will send this video to absoluetly every person that gives me a comission in the future thx

[@KrisStruble]

Animation is tough to do on a budget, our imaginations will always outpace our resources. I wish I could of shared an animation pipeline layout with you at the beginning of this to help you spend less or more likely spend the same but get the results you were looking for.

[@avenon87]

Would love to see a video about methods or functions or classes you have developed that you have used in multiple cases. Love all your videos. I do programming myself

[@bbq1423]

Your AI is getting good. Could barely tell that mouth movement was added in post!

[@j7rdan]

lmaooo, he typed google IN google 😭😂

[@A1OFFENDER]

Great video. Made me feel better about my modeling skills :) ty lol

[@breadcho7446]

I liked your vids a lot more when you coded, didn't really care to wait months for a a really good interesting video.
