I don't think i want to go into the animation industry. I want to make my own cartoon but i don't think i like the process of pitching to and signing myself over to a network. I want to be independent and do my own thing without any complex processes or executive meddling
This was actually super helpful for me. I've been wanting to make my own animated series online but wasn't exactly sure what I had to look for so now I know! I plan on eventually getting into the industry and hoping for character design. I eventually want to be a show runner though
@@jackmcgwire2078 It's a soon to be animated series about a demon named Charlie opening up a hotel to rehabilitate other demons of hell. You can check everything out on the channel Vivziepop
It's like any other job. If you want to make a cartoon, you have to have previous experience, which means (Unless you have the connections.) you have to start at the way bottom.
I want to work as an animator or a storyboard artist at CN studios. Maybe even just a voice actor. Maybe I can be both a story boarder and a voice actor.
Real question, how you do you get to the studio?? Do you have to go to art college? What about high school art classes (do those matter?)? I wanna get into the industry but I have no idea where to even start. How do you get hired by the studio...
Be on the hunt for job listings from certain studios! While connections help, ambition and determination are just as much of a useful asset, even if things don’t get moving right away. Consistently posting art, updating portfolios, in a way you gotta be ready to make your own audition!
Art schools are great way to learn, and an even better way to build connections that'll help you get into the industry. Posting animations online can help too!
Here is my simplified backstory as an artist wanting to break into the animation industry: I started drawing at an early age (and not everybody does this), got into the Visual Arts program at a high school designed specifically for artists (OCSHA/OCSA), and got my AA degree in community college to save money on tuition. While in community college (for four years), I was working part-time at Starbucks, and after I graduated, I applied for a job as a barista at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, CA. I have lived in CA for most of my life, so when I got the job and needed to move out to the LA-area, it wasn't as difficult for me as someone who would be moving from out-of-state. As soon as I started working at WB, I looked for nearby art schools to continue my education, and I wound up in the LA Film School. It's great if you want to get your degree in three years instead of four, but you need to be hardcore focused on your studies because every month is a new class -- and the focus is heavy on gaming and 3D animation. I'm a traditional artist wanting to animate traditionally, so this school was not for me, and after a year and a half's time, I dropped out. I thought I was screwed for a while, but in less than a month afterwards, I wound up being accepted into the Don Bluth University (an online course taught by former Disney animator Don Bluth). I'm currently still in this course because he's teaching me everything I wanted to learn since I was little: the hand-drawn and traditional animation pipeline that he once learned at Walt Disney Studios. To make a long story short, there's no one-way into the animation industry. Yes, it helps to have a BSA, BFA, or MFA degree from an art school, but nothing can teach you how to be creative. Nothing can teach you how to make art the speaks from your soul and personal experiences; art schools and mentors can teach you the mechanics of drawing so that you have the SKILL, but nobody can teach you the TALENT of being an artist. It comes from within, so if you have the motivation, the creativity, and the persistence to see yourself through the tough spots in life on your way into the industry, you will find your own way in. Nobody follows the exact same path as their idols; that's what makes this industry both maddening and worthwhile. Best of luck to you!
This is so cool! I'm currently creating a graphic novel as the writer w/ my good friend and we've been working for around 4 years and thinking abt making it a cartoon one day or maybe a movie series. Super insightful and helpful! I would definitely want to work in writing haha or if we do happen to get our graphic novel picked up by a studio (like hilda ;]) then he and I would probably co-show run which is super cool! Either way, this looks super difficult and time consuming but I'm sure it's very satisfying to be a creator. Awesome video!
I loved the video the only thing I didn't really like was that you didn't mention gumball that much. Like that show has a lot of different animation styles and it takes a long time to make. But this is still such a cool video.
Gravity Falls,Steven Universe,Final Space,OK KO Let's Be Heroes,Star Vs The Forces Of Evil, Adventure time,We Bare Bears,Welcome To The Wayne, Rick and Morty, DuckTales reboot,Ben 10,Teen Titans original and The amazing world of Gumball are the good Cartoons
Thanks so much for making this especially for telling artists how to make it into the industry. It would be more than a dream to have a TV show but I would honestly just love to work in industry. I love the process of animation especially board driven, traditionally animated works. I just really knew how they colored these episodes. My theory is Photoshop but it could be something else.
Thank you for explaining, I may be a little 13 year old but I have a LOT in mind, I have 6 projects, 5 of which are movies and web series. They are Cloudworld (series, sad 12 year old discovers a pastel pink world inside of her donut plushy, kind of like a mix of Bee and Puppycat and Twelve Forever), Marina (movie, suicidal girl gets sent to a journey to the sea by the ocean goddess and she finds lots of cool stuff), Magic Forest (series, 13 year old boy and his owl mom in, guess what, a magic forest), The Rock Block (series, emulates the feeling 2000's cartoons give you, main characters are Jay, Kiffer, Princess, Quinn B., Beatrice, Molly, Rey and Chip), Satelitre (a sad series in which an astronaut 8 year old boy's parents get lost and he has an entire aircraft to himself, soon enough he realizes its not as cool as he thinks it is and he dies on a crash at the end, trust me you're gonna cry), and the only game is Cat Village (you're a cat with powers which he doesnt use much, and you explore 7 worlds: 1. startHOuse, 2. Plain Old Woods, 3. Actual Plains, 4. Marketland, 5. Europa, 6. recreodelpantano and 7. The Summit, it's very inspired on the videogame Journey and it's absolutely LITTERED with Neil Cicierega references). Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
This is very helpful! I'm planning on making my own cartoon series called Vampire Mysteries sometime in the future so thank you so much for making this!!
Yeah me too, ive already have in mind the characters, art style, character design, three seasons of story and obviously a name... gotta write them somewhere before i forget them lol
This was very insightful, I knew what goes on behind the scenes in animation, but never in this much in depth, as someone who wants to makes cartoons, this give me a clear idea on what to actually do, for years I've been collecting creator ip bible guides to assist me , I'm not finished on this one idea, but I will, also, since many in independent creators are making their own studios (and companies to place ip's) to produce their content for various places gives it an added plus. For years, I wanted to try that, though I'm good at drawing/illustration, more in hands on could help as well as writing , as for years I've managed to meet with those who worked in the industry and meet back with more tips, this gives me more ideas and a push to keep at it.
I really want to get into the cartoon industry. I have ideas for multiple shows that I'd love to make and for other people to see. But I'm german and germans don't really like cartoons. There used to be good german cartoons a few decades ago but now they're basically dead. And people who are there to help me find a job in a few years LITERALLY told me to give up. You know how hard it is to be told to give up on the one thing you'd really like to do in the one and only life that you have? It seems like my best shot is trying to do everything by myself and upload them with little profit to RUclips.
Niklas Universe Don't give up on your Dreams Niklas, if you want to become a Animator then become a Animator, because you can start a New Era of German Cartoons after you prove that one person wrong
@Jamerick Draws The story that I've worked on the most is about two very weird alien species trying to live together on the same planet. You could say they hate each other, but that's mainly because of horrible things that happened in the past. The kids know what happened ages ago but befriend each other anyway. But of course some parents are not okay with it. Also a lot of weird stuff happens but I don't want to give these jokes away. That's really all I can say for now.
Niklas Universe Bro, you are literally me! I too am German and want to make my own TV shows or games or at least comics. But the German entertainment industry is is pretty much dead in those departments, so there’s no way I‘m gonna get anywhere around here. I‘m actually thinking about applying to a British art school where I might have better chances of actually getting somewhere. Guys like us should stick together. I‘d like to hear more about your ideas and maybe you‘d like to hear about mine too and we could give each other advice. Do you have Discord or anything like that? You too, SerenityDisney. We could make a group or something.
@@lightneo27 I can say quite the other way around. I have a very good idea for a story that can be great (which is for a graphic novel i'm making with a friend), but I not only know nothing about the animation process, but I'm terrible at drawing lol.
I wanna make my own cartoon when I'm older hopefully it's works out idrk how it's made much but have been doing research and this is a bit helpful. Thx
You got the definitions of sequences, scenes and shots wrong. (unless it's specific to animation, which would be weird if they actually did that and in that case you can forget what I'm about to write) - A sequence is a series of scenes that belong in 1 sequence. For an example a "car chase sequence" can start from when the person steps into the car until the end of the chase. - A scene is a location. So a car chase sequence can happen through a downtown area, then suburbs and then farm land. Those are 3 scenes (downtown, suburbs, farmland) - Then, scenes exist of different shots. E.g. In the downtown scene of the car chase sequence, there's maybe a shot from above of a car taking a sharp turn. Then ANOTHER shot from inside the police car chasing the first car. Every time the location changes, it's a different scene, even if it's part of the same sequence. So someone stepping through a door, from inside to outside is 1 sequence, *but 2 scenes* . The same counts for going into another room, those are 2 different scenes. It goes even deeper than that, because it also has to do with time. So even if you're in the same location, if you make a cut from e.g. morning to evening, it's also 2 different scenes. But that's not important here. The general public often calls things a "scene" when they actually mean sequence. And then you end up in acts, which consists of different sequences. Yes, I write screenplays 😂
I’m only 16 but I am already working hard to become an artist when I’m older and to work on cartoons. So watching this is helpful, interesting, and intimidating for me
I'm glad that I've stumbled upon this video in my recommended section! I've always dreamt about having my own cartoon pitched either in my country or somewhere else where cartoons aren't exactly popular. (I live in Finland. We used to have really good cartoons, but nowdays you rarely get to see any modern ones.) I loved doing worldbuilding, characters and even making some concept art. So hopefully one day I'll manage to see my own universe in various of episodes! :)
Thank you for making this video, I make animations and when I finish collage i want to get an animation job but surprisingly I don’t know much about it. This is like an “animation process for dummies” and this is way better then going on the internet. I’m totally working as an animator in the future
I miss my era of cartoons (2009-2014). which was fanboy and chum chum, fish hooks, gravity falls, mixels, pacman and the ghostly adventures, adventure time, Clarence, breadwinners, sanjay and craig, crash and Bernstein, problem solvers, chowder, the Garfield show, regular show, making fiends, Phineas and ferb, gumball, my little pony friendship was magic until like the 5th season, johnny test, wander over yonder, planet sheen, wild grinders, littlest pet shop, tuff puppy, robot and monster, grojband, almost naked animals, sidekick, penguins of madagascar, and pound puppies. cartoons gotten worse when most of those shows got of the air due to newer shows from 2015-present starting with star vs the forces of evil. I haven't seen a new nickelodeon cartoon since Bunsen is a beast.
Oh my god, I LOVE this video! Mostly because me and my friends (friends that I didn’t pick just because they’re my friends, but simply because they are REALLY good with character design, stories, storyboards etc.) are making an animation someday and I hope for it to be on Cartoon Network and weve been working on this for about over a year now and this video help out a lot because some of the stuff in here, I didn’t even know, so thank you! And I hope one day I can be a successful cartoon creator that can work on legit anything because I’m fine with doing any part of it! Love you Roundtable! 😤💕💖
Thank you for creating this video (and for the person who wrote it out). This is such a fascinating industry... I have no desire to get involved, but I love watching cartoons and it boggles my mind how they can create such variety and so much action!!
I've said for a while that I'd like to be either a showrunner or a storyboarder, but seeing the process going into those two, I feel like I should try and hone in my talents before I confidently say that I want to be one. I just want to thank you guys for posting this, it really gives a lot of insight into the whole cartoon process that I never really considered before.
Vox thank you so much for this info. I've been trying to make a show for a year and a half but my Adobe cloud is backfiring on me so I have no animatics ^u^' but I have a lot of scripts so once I get to college and graduate I might have to make it a web series instead of a cn or nick show. but I needed this talk especially if I'm trying to do this type of job because at the moment I'm doing everything background, scripts, character design, animation but i'm not doing voices and music so I'm backed into a corner. but thank you for this info =w='
I really love this. I got to see how cartoons are made and I could hope for the future as wanting to be an artist myself. This was a great video, I'm glad you made this.
I always thought being a show runner was just too much of a goal? Like I always thought it'd be pretty much impossible for me to get as far as having my own show airing on tv for people to enjoy, plus, I don't know if I'd have the creativity to come up with a story that enjoyable, so it's always been a dream of mine to help whoever does make it up there with storyboard or rough animation, I really like character design as well, it's what I'm willing to put all my motivation, work and passion into, it's what I wanna do.
I want to be an indie cartoon maker (someone who makes cartoons independently) because I don't want to go through all that paper work, budget, what other people decide for me to put in a network. So, i'd probably start making my own shows inside of a youtube channel, which I could pretend/make it into a very own TV network.
Shout out to the roundtable who are always trying to make amazing cartoon content and actually put time in and effort in their episodes you don't really get that from channels like vaildskibum
You know, I thought when I grow up I am going to be a heart surgeon, however I realized that my favorite thing to do was draw, so I figured..WHY NOT ANIMATE INSTEAD!
Hey i just wanna say this ia an awesome video and, while im not in the industry (yet) this is pretty accurate to the animation process. I'm currently in the process of directing my own short film, and most of this is exactly stuff that my college professors have talked about. So i guess just thanks for providing an accurate look into the animation process (especially for those who maybe cant afford to go to art school or are unsure about if they think animation is for them)
Thanks so much for the advice! I've always dreamed of making an animated series and have a couple ideas in mind. It's good to keep this knowledge in mind so I can have a good plot, good characters, and other things necessary.
I love your channel! You guys make some pretty informative videos but sometimes I can't understand you because you squish all your words together. I love this video! Thank you for making it!
Amazing video, but my question is. Do they record the voices to the animation or animate to the voices? and when there is actions with no voice lines do they cut the voice lines separately and animate unvoiced actions and compile them together where needed?
Hey, Roundtable! I was wondering about an idea for a cartoon show, Artemis, and this actually gave me an idea how to do these things! I’m only 12, but I actually wanna go into animation! Merci!!!
My absolute dream and goal in life is to one day see my characters and stories come to life and to see them on a TV screen.
Me too what's your story
GOOD LUCK!!! DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE MEMES!!!

- A scene is a location. So a car chase sequence can happen through a downtown area, then suburbs and then farm land. Those are 3 scenes (downtown, suburbs, farmland)
- Then, scenes exist of different shots. E.g. In the downtown scene of the car chase sequence, there's maybe a shot from above of a car taking a sharp turn. Then ANOTHER shot from inside the police car chasing the first car.
Every time the location changes, it's a different scene, even if it's part of the same sequence. So someone stepping through a door, from inside to outside is 1 sequence, *but 2 scenes* . The same counts for going into another room, those are 2 different scenes. It goes even deeper than that, because it also has to do with time. So even if you're in the same location, if you make a cut from e.g. morning to evening, it's also 2 different scenes. But that's not important here.
The general public often calls things a "scene" when they actually mean sequence.
And then you end up in acts, which consists of different sequences.
Yes, I write screenplays 😂
Disney seems to be much more forgiving with their hiatuses lately compared to CN and Steven Universe.
Man.... that's a lot.
8:37 as soon as the background changes, that's a new scene.
Wrong
I’m only 16 but I am already working hard to become an artist when I’m older and to work on cartoons. So watching this is helpful, interesting, and intimidating for me
Storyboarding sounds fun
Pink Vaporeon: let’s team up
It's basically drawing a comic
Don't let anyone tell you that you need a team and can't do it by yourself, that's bullshit.. you ABSOLUTELY CAN DO IT YOURSELF
This was so helpful! It really made the different parts of making a show clear. Thank you!
I'm glad that I've stumbled upon this video in my recommended section!
I've always dreamt about having my own cartoon pitched either in my country or somewhere else where cartoons aren't exactly popular. (I live in Finland. We used to have really good cartoons, but nowdays you rarely get to see any modern ones.)
I loved doing worldbuilding, characters and even making some concept art. So hopefully one day I'll manage to see my own universe in various of episodes! :)
12:12 lol prozd
Thank you, so much for this video. I've always wanted to do animation and this video gave me so much insight, so thanks again, Roundtable.
I'm glad you guys did this video because I've been trying to figure out how to make a cartoon .
Thank you for making this video, I make animations and when I finish collage i want to get an animation job but surprisingly I don’t know much about it. This is like an “animation process for dummies” and this is way better then going on the internet. I’m totally working as an animator in the future
Wow, I never knew what really goes on inside the animation industry when making a show until now. Thanks Vox👍
I miss my era of cartoons (2009-2014). which was fanboy and chum chum, fish hooks, gravity falls, mixels, pacman and the ghostly adventures, adventure time, Clarence, breadwinners, sanjay and craig, crash and Bernstein, problem solvers, chowder, the Garfield show, regular show, making fiends, Phineas and ferb, gumball, my little pony friendship was magic until like the 5th season, johnny test, wander over yonder, planet sheen, wild grinders, littlest pet shop, tuff puppy, robot and monster, grojband, almost naked animals, sidekick, penguins of madagascar, and pound puppies. cartoons gotten worse when most of those shows got of the air due to newer shows from 2015-present starting with star vs the forces of evil. I haven't seen a new nickelodeon cartoon since Bunsen is a beast.
What about Bojack Horseman or Castlevania?
I don't watch those
Oh my god, I LOVE this video! Mostly because me and my friends (friends that I didn’t pick just because they’re my friends, but simply because they are REALLY good with character design, stories, storyboards etc.) are making an animation someday and I hope for it to be on Cartoon Network and weve been working on this for about over a year now and this video help out a lot because some of the stuff in here, I didn’t even know, so thank you! And I hope one day I can be a successful cartoon creator that can work on legit anything because I’m fine with doing any part of it! Love you Roundtable! 😤💕💖
SO THAT'S HOW STEVEN UNIVERSE IS MADE?
Not just Steven universe, Other shows aswell.
Thanks for these edvisise man
Thank you for creating this video (and for the person who wrote it out). This is such a fascinating industry... I have no desire to get involved, but I love watching cartoons and it boggles my mind how they can create such variety and so much action!!
I can die happy if I can make my show a reality, that’s all I want
The only thing I feel passionate about in life is having my own animated show.
*_[I'm over here watching this like I have a future outside of retail]_*
You wanna create a cartoon or somethin?
This was very helpful! Thank you so much, Sir!
I've said for a while that I'd like to be either a showrunner or a storyboarder, but seeing the process going into those two, I feel like I should try and hone in my talents before I confidently say that I want to be one. I just want to thank you guys for posting this, it really gives a lot of insight into the whole cartoon process that I never really considered before.
Vox thank you so much for this info. I've been trying to make a show for a year and a half but my Adobe cloud is backfiring on me so I have no animatics ^u^' but I have a lot of scripts so once I get to college and graduate I might have to make it a web series instead of a cn or nick show. but I needed this talk especially if I'm trying to do this type of job because at the moment I'm doing everything background, scripts, character design, animation but i'm not doing voices and music so I'm backed into a corner. but thank you for this info =w='
I would love to make a cartoon, would it be easier if you worked at an animation studio or made your own group?
Making a cartoon that people like is so cool and great video man :]
I think i will stick to making a book out of my series for now, and see where it goes from there.
i would love to be a writer for a show. I'm already in love with writing so i feel it would be something I'd find fun.
I really love this. I got to see how cartoons are made and I could hope for the future as wanting to be an artist myself. This was a great video, I'm glad you made this.
I have a couple of ideas for cartoons that have been stuck in my head for a year now and one day I would like to have them air on TV
Does anyone know what happens after the episode is complete? Who is the mp4 of the episode given to? How do they air it?
I always thought being a show runner was just too much of a goal? Like I always thought it'd be pretty much impossible for me to get as far as having my own show airing on tv for people to enjoy, plus, I don't know if I'd have the creativity to come up with a story that enjoyable, so it's always been a dream of mine to help whoever does make it up there with storyboard or rough animation, I really like character design as well, it's what I'm willing to put all my motivation, work and passion into, it's what I wanna do.
Go for it!
Are you into drawing? Let talk :)
i can help you with your vision...I'm an incredible Artist
I still want to be an animator! But for 3D shows and movies. 2D is not my cup of tea.
You can do that, plus, there is lots of 3d (free and cheap) software to use to try for yourself, I'm a bit self taught in it.
Bro same here, I've actually recently started using blender
3D animations are actually cheaper and faster to produce than 2D.
That’s gonna be difficult
I want to be an indie cartoon maker (someone who makes cartoons independently) because I don't want to go through all that paper work, budget, what other people decide for me to put in a network. So, i'd probably start making my own shows inside of a youtube channel, which I could pretend/make it into a very own TV network.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
Shout out to the roundtable who are always trying to make amazing cartoon content and actually put time in and effort in their episodes you don't really get that from channels like vaildskibum
You know, I thought when I grow up I am going to be a heart surgeon, however I realized that my favorite thing to do was draw, so I figured..WHY NOT ANIMATE INSTEAD!
It's amazing how complex is a cartoon production
Hey i just wanna say this ia an awesome video and, while im not in the industry (yet) this is pretty accurate to the animation process. I'm currently in the process of directing my own short film, and most of this is exactly stuff that my college professors have talked about. So i guess just thanks for providing an accurate look into the animation process (especially for those who maybe cant afford to go to art school or are unsure about if they think animation is for them)
Nobody cares if your early just watch the video.
c a l a m a r i noice seenin u here
Amen
I would love characterization and voice acting
After watching this, I am still wanting to work for animation in the future.
I'm in the process of creating an animated pilot episode for my own story~ it's about a kid becoming friends with an interdimensional space clown.
I've always wanted to have a cartoon of my own. I'm just scared it'll flop and nobody would watch it, or it would never get green lit...
Me too, have you already started creating your cartoon?
@@emotfaculty9292 I've been writing ideas down, kinda started created characters, so in a way, yeah!
I say risk it
Wow I had no idea how much time it takes to complete one episode!
Probably more if it an anime
@@USSAnimeNCC- It does takes more in anime, since Japanese animation tends to pay more attention to detail in a lot of things, specially in animation.
This is really interesting! Thanks for the great imformation!
Thanks so much for the advice! I've always dreamed of making an animated series and have a couple ideas in mind. It's good to keep this knowledge in mind so I can have a good plot, good characters, and other things necessary.
I love your channel! You guys make some pretty informative videos but sometimes I can't understand you because you squish all your words together. I love this video! Thank you for making it!
Truck I wanna see voltrons piolet so baaad
Amazing video, but my question is. Do they record the voices to the animation or animate to the voices? and when there is actions with no voice lines do they cut the voice lines separately and animate unvoiced actions and compile them together where needed?
this video is so well done
I'm going to hopefully make a pitch, and animate it somewhat within the month. Fingers crossed.
I Am Making My Own Cartoon Show And A Video Game 🎮 One ☝️ Day
@@BlackPeerama I'm working on making a game too. It isn't a big game though it is basically a little higher than flappy bird
@@InvasionAnimation Cool 😎 I Made A Cartoon Version Of Myself Called Blackpeerama SpaMink
@@BlackPeerama Nice!
@@InvasionAnimation Thanks 😊
*I'M SOOOOO GLAD YOU MENTION THE COLOR STYLIST!!!! THAAANK YOU!!!!!*
Lets Talk Cartoons:let’s team up
Really good video👌👌
Thank you for the video, very informative.
Hey, Roundtable! I was wondering about an idea for a cartoon show, Artemis, and this actually gave me an idea how to do these things! I’m only 12, but I actually wanna go into animation! Merci!!!
And honestly, I was inspired by Gravity Falls. No kidding.
@@opiumsniffer7384 nice
Gah, im gonna animate to Newgrounds and RUclips for some years...
Very insightful!
Great video!
Ok but I love how his voice went:
📈📉📈📉
Jafar’s voice was like that in Aladdin 2019.
“Taking into account lighting, taking into account lighting changes....” Oops lol
I was interested in animation or in character design and this really helped me out!
Informative! Thanks
