Who REALLY Makes Your Favorite Animated Movies

[@sleeplessindefatigable6385]

I always love production stories for animated films. It's fascinating to see how certain shots or sequences often end up causing massive headaches because they're doing some super edge case that nobody's ever animated before, or there's a new kind of render technology needed just for this one element of the film to work.

[@NoTheRobot]

The artists pushed a lot of new ground for this movie, definitely a huge push to get their work over the finish line!

Animators should be paid more

[@sketchbook10]

This is the first time someone has ever explained the productions side of animation with any kind of clarity. I've listened to plenty of artist interviews and every time they get to this topic it's all in pieces, I appreciate this.

[@chibira1239]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! As a fellow Production Coordinator in animation this video meant a lot. Will be sure to share it ❤

PC’s unite!! Haha so glad I could do our department some justice😁🤘🎉

I wish someone explained all this when I was an animation student. I'm a background artist and matte painter. I got to really respect the work of production assistants/managers over the years as I consistently saw them work longer hours than most others, and realized that they need to understand everything we do, and also everything all the other departments do, in a constantly evolving and very technical industry. And yet, the contours and concrete aspects of their job is not really clear to us, often we don't fully know exactly what they're doing and what to thank them for, that's how a lot of hard work often goes under the radar. Another thing that always seemed tough to me is that artists always work as a team but production work seems more individual. There's often 10 matte painters or 20 animators or 5 BG artists, and we share a lot together, whether it's talking about how challenging the art direction is, or going to lunch, or software tips. But the production assistant is the only one of their team to know how hard their job is, and to have that specific point of view on the team. They also have the unenviable task of checking whether work is done on time and informing artists that they need to do everything faster... they're also often the ones to notice if someone is suffering and guiding them towards help. So thank you!

Genuinely, The Bad Guys and Puss In Boots 2 are some of the most enjoyable films I've seen Big Hero 6, roughly 9 years ago at the time. The first thing I'd assumed when remembering their most striking individual scenes is just how much the entire studio must've worked on these films, not just the artists. Dreamworks was truly firing on all cylinders entering this decade and now has a pair of rightfully-earned successes to further bolster their already-legendary legacy

This was a great video and helped me learn a lot, it was especially special to me because I’m fascinated by animation and the way the studio runs. This video helped me learn and has taken me closer to the dream of working in an animation studio. Good work

[@andrewfrancis6358]

Love all the info you gave for this! Super insightful! It helps to see all the different people involved in making an animated movie. One of the many reasons I respect and love animation as a medium. (That Bionicle animation was CLEAN btw)

[@NoTheRobot]

Ayyyy thanks so much dude!!😁🙏

[@brewster9235]

Thank you for showing people what production does. ❤️ It is one of the most difficult things to get started in the industry as a PA, especially when you are essentially required to live in LA and not get paid a livable wage. And people almost never understand what it is that I do. So thank you. ❤️

[@NoTheRobot]

Of course! Happy to give production a boost😁

[@sketchbook10]

I've listened to many artist and director interviews and in some instances the question of what does a producer do will arise and it's like no one can clearly answer the question, it mostly personal anecdotes. This is the first time I've seen someone do it with this much clarity.

[@UserName70-ee4fx]

This is cool! Personally I prefer to write a story, but the work that goes into animation deserves respect

[@Cateyeet]

I want to become an animator one day, and I'm glad this information got to me 👍

[@NoTheRobot]

I believe in you!

[@jamescandyland]

Awesome video! It’s so great hearing more about the Production side of things and all the work that goes on behind the scenes!

[@NoTheRobot]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the peek behind the scenes😁✌️

[@jamescandyland]

@@NoTheRobot Yeah definitely! I’ve thought about working in Production for animation, but so much of it is unknown to me, so it’s cool to learn more from people who have been working in production and see the great work y’all all do!

[@NoTheRobot]

It’s a much different field than the art driven side but if you’re organized and an effective communicator it can be really rewarding!

[@jamescandyland]

@@NoTheRobot That’s good to know! It’s fascinating all the different facets within the animation pipeline.

So where do the Hollywood voice actors fit into the tree? 😂 Though seriously wish all the teams that make the film possible got a larger slice of the pie.

[@Pedroofficialchannel]

Very good video. I learned a lot of stuff, I had no idea about. More of this please

[@NoTheRobot]

Thank you! More to come!

[@bl3343]

I have a question about computer animation: is computer animation quicker to do while still preserving quality? The reason I ask this is I watched an episode of Bluey called Puppets where they reveal at the end Bluey being animated and it's the CGI method (a model that is moved like a puppet) instead of hand drawn which is the look that the show has. Why would you create a show that looks hand drawn but is actually CGI unless it is quicker to do?

The Bad Guys along with The Last Wish are, in my opinion, the BEST looking AAA animated movies in a long time. I love the look of them, especially with the low frame rate action animation

Bro I hope ur vr animation goes well

[@NoTheRobot]

Thank you! And appreciate you for watching the whole thing 🙏

[@hauntedlemon]

i love the story of one of the animating team on How to Train Your Dragon 2 where they were struggling with one of the alpha dragon's animation. it took a lot of trial and error but they finally got it to a point where they were happy with it and sent it to the FX team, only for the FX team to cover it with water and mist lol

Laika is garbage content. I'd be surprised if they break even on their dark, awful projects.
