How To Run A Small Animation Studio

This is how I run an indie anime studio for my KZbin animations, from my extensive Notion workflow to the anime production pipeline my team and I use to produce videos.

Step 1. Do it all yourself Step 2. Cry from the pressure Step 3. Go on a journey of self fufilment Step 4. Try it again- 😂

[@ChloeHatler]

Thanks so much for the video! I'm an animator/writer who wants to hire people to help me out with animation for my show and this definitely pointed me in the right direction!

[@Zippkey]

good video like alway. i'm so scared to haire people to help with my project or vidoe

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Thanks!!

[@AlbertoGomez-oi5ou]

bro this video is pure GOLD !!!! thanks so much

[@keiththeantihero7960]

I love this video it's extremely educational as someone who wants to do animation one day. I'd really love if one day you consider making a guide about how you do your clip studio paint along with your settings and brushes. Or just a tutorial more focused on animations for clip studio paint!

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Good idea. A lot of my brushes and settings came from Nicca Ch’s channel so if you looks at their old CSP animation tutorials, the brushes and auto-actions are there.

[@JustMeMorgane]

This is so interesting to see! The amount of detail you went it was also super helpful. I'd love to work for this kind of small studio someday, it sounds great! especially with the projects changing often ~ (i love doing lineart and coloring the most and have been told by my friends that's slightly insane x))

[@WilliamShinal]

I use a variation of screenplay format for a project that I'm tackling in the Fall, but instead of animation, I'm using Space Engineers, and because of that, I could make a much simpler pair of storyboard images for reference between me and my bro as well.

How do you fund your animation project??

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I answered this on TikTok. I make money from Adsense on KZbin (I run 3 semi-active channels), and I get money from TikTok (Creator Fund Beta), oh and I work a full time job on top of doing an anime production. Hence this video where I show my production process and how to be productive 👍👍

[@Thatoneninja22]

I downloaded the template does it not include the animation shots list that you were showing because I can’t seem to find it

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

That page is a custom one that I made specifically for that project (many months before I created the template on my site, which is a much simpler version meant for beginners - my core audience). If you’d like to recreate what my video shows, I recommend just making a simple database inside that page, and each subpage can be created using a template

[@Glitchhusky9304]

Are you able to do a animation studio without a team?

[@wakum3206]

Man, I beg you. Can you say, where do you download your 3d models for your backgrounds? What's the websites?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Lately it’s been Acon3D or CSP Assets store

[@wakum3206]

@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations thank you. I will check this stuff)

[@himesh8306]

Bro in which software all you made your anime. Blender?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Clip Studio Paint. I’ve mentioned it multiple times in multiple videos

[@himesh8306]

@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations wow that's amazing bro can i use blender for making animes?

[@Willow_Sketchbook]

​@@himesh8306I shouldn't be the one answering since I'm not a professional, but if blender has animation stuff 2d (for anime animations with frames etc) then yes I believe it's fine. Normally any apps are fine as long as they do the job 🤷(my opinion)

[@nodfactor8808]

where do you hire your staff?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Current animation and voice team are people I either handpicked or were recommended based on their skills and work ethic, especially in regards to the anime production process. I currently don’t have an open call for new members but if I did I would put out a notice on social media.

[@nodfactor8808]

@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations Oh I see. I thought maybe you found them via some online freelancing service like fiverr.

[@user-fh2dt5uy5q]

How do you make money from running this business

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Adsense, gaining sponsorships like my Paperlike ambassador link, the fact I gained at least 3+ paid animation jobs that pay pretty well. That, plus I have a fulltime job. I’m doing just fine 👍
