MY PLAYLISTS TO WATCH:

About the SOFTWARE I use:


It's a great software :)

It's the best tablet money can buy :)

[theodorul]

took me like an hour to animate a low key cartwheel. Big respect to you animators

[Waynimations]

Yes my masterpiece should only take 5 years. Wait...

[eghegh]

7:38 "Maybe you don't have a life" Truth really hurts 😧😧😧

[maiwei]

Dang, 2 months for a 2-minute animation. That's INSANE work!
MAD respect for those who work in this industry.

[ashwinsanthosh]

Short answer: MUCH longer than you think it will.

Big Ups to animaters It is the most tedious thing to do and I am not an animator I am just a comic book colorist. I did my first coloring of a animation and it was just a simple one-on-one fight scene no background or nothing. and it took me to damn near 2 days just to lay the damn flat out and I still have to put in simple shading and be consistent about it.

Excellent video.

First time I'm watching this and I'm so impressed you take the productivity curve into account. That's super realistic and something more people need to take into account. No one works at linear productivity and so many mis estimations happen because of this component not being taken into account.

3 years on, and this video is such a big help. I started animating a year ago, and have 4 projects - all in the 4-5 minute length range fighting for my attention. This is helping me look at them realistically and made me set an order of priority - and most importantly, is helping me budget my time. Thanks for publishing this! You may have saved this beginner animator from some serious overwhelm that threatened these projects!!!

[JerryDechant]

That is good to know information. The general public should realize how labor intensive and time intensive animated movies take, so they can appreciate the quality of the final product more.

(Side note: buy some new erasable markers before you shoot such a video. That is part of pre-production for videos.)

[EFlame]

This is a great video explaining how time consuming animation really is, and it is really helpful formula as well. Nice!

[ItsAJArt]

I can't wait to get a tablet and start animation

[nihilistmitch]

I've been asking this for my entire animator life. Thanks.

[jesterssketchbook]

if you dont bother calculating, youll have 20 extra minutes to actually animate lol

[kamiko]

i really appreciate the effort and time you put into making these kinda videos. i wish i could support you.
I recently started taking animation serious and im most likely to start freelancing but so far I've only had a year and a half experience and i feel my skill isn't good enough for me to actually get commissions or animation jobs on the internet. So i'd like to know how you started out if you could give advice to beginners like me. It'd be great if you could make a video on that. Also I have problems opening your website. Doesn't open at all

[mizunarijay]

I'm working on an animation project for my school and this really helped me to work out a sched since I also have a full-time job. Thanks! :)

[keatontyo]

Someone send this man a good marker lol. Great video though :) I'm not very good at animating yet, but your videos really help me with learning perspective drawing. Even just for kids who want to see how to get some quick sketches that look cool, your videos really help. Thanks for putting in time to get people to tell their own stories and letting your process be the focal point of these videos. Not a lot of timelapses that make the work seem unachievable, just good kindhearted commentary and help for those who want to have a way to express themselves even if it's just a hobby.

[wilkisama]

anyone else have to replay part of the video because u found urself staring at his shirt n losing time? no? me lmao

[rix.]

im a begginer animator, when he started talking about animating on 2'os, 3's my head just *POP*

Thanks for sharing this, for professionals creating art related content is always hard to convey how much time is needed to make a certain work, without looking unprofessional or putting your talent into question, clients expect high quality content in the shortest amount of time possible.
