crazy to see how much work and redrawing they have to do to keep all the art clean and consistent. thats one actual advantage that a solo animator or a small team has over the big budget animation studios
@@MM-qo2ww I interpreted that to mean that keeping things super tied down isn't something that is as important, as a bit of inconsistency is expected from smaller teams. Larger studios have less excuse to have "sloppy" work, so they have to spend more time making sure everything is tight.
@@_B_E it’s probably more like, one person will draw the same things the same, instead of dozens of people trying to match the same style
@@sinnamonchai This is why there was an industry vet talking about how "a small team of highly trained animators is best" before. Because a while back animation teams were smaller and the artists in question were more skilled. At least, presumably. I'm still learning about a lot of this stuff.
@@YOUFREAKINNERD lol yeah, was clarifying for the person who replied before me.
A small team wouldnt be able to handle a 24 minute animation. Anime is also not just about budget, have you not finished the video? The average pay for a 2nd KA is 2000-7000k yen per cut which is very little in comparison to the workload you will be getting.
in case you're still wondering; genga translates into "key frame"
I was wondering why he didn't mention through the whole thing
Key Frame, being those frames that aren't in-betweens
bro i thought he was talking about genga from beyblade 🤣
I was always curious of why cel-shaded animatics had those varying colors. At first I thought it was like purely to distinct light and shadow, but in actuality, they're director notes practically lol
I can't thank you enough for this. I am extremely dedicated to work in the anime or game industry as an artist so learning about this is extremely helpful.
Wish you the best of luck
Do you post your art anywhere?
@@paws27 thanks man!

it doesn't always happens but sometimes I would get Genga that was full of Japanese writings, where the directors literally having full blown conversations of what Retakes they want to change, and they are always from the Gundam Gengas, and this is not on the Retakes sheets, this was on the final Genga that we had to clean up.
other times when I get ugly Gengas, somebody literally doodles on it and says おねがいします like they've already given up on the corrections because of how tight the schedule was. 💀💀
the most fun ones are always from the anime series because of how rushed it was. a lot of mistakes even after multiple Retakes, like the right+left hand suddenly changed into left+left hand in one frame and changed back into right+left hand on the next frame lol
where would u recommend finding people to get ni gen and genga work, is it just tracking down there socials?
@@SuperPacKailen same question
@@SuperPacKailen same here. I'd like to know too!
Same here
And just like that, I learn how to do Genga in professional industry, and how to start a career in Japanese animation.
Dong Chang, you're seriously GOAT for making this vid.
This is a really cool insight into the anime industry's workflow. Thank you
nice, seems like a very meditative process plus you get to learn a ton from corrections
I mean if there isnt many corrections yah looks like just a bit of tracing and following reference, I can only imagine that ones with bigger corrections to be a lot less meditative lol
11:28 I already know that that demo reel is gonna be lit
Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon. A Ghost and Poison type. Gengar can pass through dimensions and appear almost anywhere. Since Gengar absorbs any warmth around it, the temperature suddenly drops wherever it appears.
I always wanted to know how this rough style of animation was called since seeing them on art books. Very nice to know you can find work with these. I look forward to that. Incredible content.
I think the fact this is all demonstrated with such a simple movement really helps emphasize how much effort goes into every single shot, no matter how simple.
I showed this to some friends and loved ones recently and they were in awe just like I was/am.
Thank you so much for teaching us these things and helping to give perspective on a media we love so dearly!
I actually think this is really good. Most anime I see most of the time don't even have movement, just a bunch of mouth movements.
It's incredible to see the level of dedication that goes into simply creating an industry standard keyframe in an actual studio.
It makes sense, since the final product always looks so pristine and professional, but having this kind of insight makes me appreciate the final product even more.
Very cool. I'm not an animator, but I am an animation fan, so this was interesting. Also, that character is really cute and a great "model" here.
bruh you make it sound so easy lol. good video btw, really makes the anime industry not seem so impenetrable.
The work that goes into this, is crazy
Ooooh that kind of nitty gritty procedural element of a different industry was really cool. Didn't know the meaning behind the color of the redlines' paper.
Super informative on the pipeline used in studios, thank you Dong :)
You made this so easy to understand. Thank you so much for sharing this clip!
Thanks for showing us how the process is made i haven't seen any one do this plus your drawings are so amazing
Not only are you a layout artist and animator but apparently also a psychic because I've just been looking for some more Info around Genga. Thanks a bunch!
It's amazing to see how the process works! To think there would be so many revisions! Thanks for also telling how to apply for a job! This is why I'm subscribed!
Super helpful video, especially the quick tip at the end for getting work. Thanks!
This is neat! I've bought some genga with corrections and had no idea that I could probably figure out who drew what based on the colors of the cleanup sheets.
I can't express enough how grateful I am for this channel! Thank you for your generosity!
Literally the GOAT Dong Chang thank you so much
I always look forward to your tutorials, they're worth their bits in gold. Granting us plebs access the project files is greatly appreciated. Makes me wonder what I'm missing out on for not being a Patreon yet
My goodness this is informative and helpful for those interested. Awesome video Dong
your tutorials are so on point!
I really want to get into this world, and you my friend, are my favorite guide, THANKS YOU!
Instant like for Dong!
Just want to say I appreciate the templates and examples you provided in the description! I'm someone that wants to further improve my art and learn more about the creative industry, especially in Japan. Thank you for this information!
You're doing gods work
Thank you so so much for these videos
Congrats on working in the land of top animation.
After watching Shirobako, it's really cool to see this process! Great videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge of the industry and examples of the keyframe/inbetween drawing and revision process!
i love you for your videos man keep it up ur encouraging more artist and beginners to animate and draw more thanks
Your work on your channel is awesome. Thank you
Very cool! I used to do traditional animation in the 90’s till the studios disappeared. I did mainly clean-up and assistant animator work, but this was back in the days of paper and pencil. I wonder if I can still do it these days?
if you get a drawing tablet im sure you can. a lot of the skills are shared between both mediums
Thank you Dong for the insight!!
Hello mr Dong Chang.Thank you for another insightful video,It was very helpful and great as usual!I know this may take some time but please could you consider posting a bit of a longer video demonstrating how you would animate a scene from scratch(order,colour,polish,edit,line work)-basically all the stuff off a usual scene.Of course you don’t have too but It would be much appreciated if you were to post a video like this.Anyone still reading this goodbye and have a nice day :)
Dong 😂
This is dope bro. Awesomeness!
I’m so excited to get started. I have studied Japanese for so long and never knew how people got started in the industry
this is gold content for my animations
Thank you very much, in real life I just started the animation and I couldn't understand some things but it's clear now thanks to you ^^
Thanks a lot
This is super helpful thank you for these videos
This is a fantastic video as always. I really appreciate the idea of Ni Gen which is a new concept to me. It's always been my dream to work even minorly in an anime production. I'm going to practice and put together a demo reel :).
I actually love you dong
This is perfect I was lolking into to practicing ni-genga.
Bro u deserve millions of subs according to ur animation and ur knowledge ❤loved your videos and many things to learn
Thats a lot of work 😮 i now have a renewed respect for the people who works withy favorite animes to watch
This is really an helpful video as for me who still practicing self taught animation...
Seeing animation workflow is cool.
Came for some art of my favorite Pokemon but stayed for the great video!
Thank you for this vid, in the future I’m aspiring to work in the entertainment industry, mainly the animation community. Now I’m compelling my knowledge and skills before getting into any really paid jobs 😅
This is so helpful thank you!!!!
Hoping you could make a anime course soon covering the pre production and production! I have a hard time finding a course that covers like your videos. I badly wanted to learn animation.
Thank you so much for this info!
Very helpful video!! Thank u!💯
Thank you so much, I have a task that requires me to understand the steps and organization of a japanese production and this is really helpful.
Thanks, there were a few things I had been wondering about when it comes to how digital animation is done in Japan. Like what's the deal with all the different colored papers? That's a pretty efficient system, you can have an army of less-skilled junior artists taking care of the bulk of the work, while you only need a few senior artists to polish everything up. I noticed you were re-doing the line art though? I was under the impression that Japanese animation studios normally use the scanned pencil line art as the final line art and the animators add the digital paint underneath it? Is that not done anymore or do different studios sometimes do it that way?
Thanks a lot for making this video !! I'm a student in Graphic Design but I really want to work in the japanese animation industry, and your video definitely helps ^^ !
Thank you so much for this!
Yo! this is super legit! thank yoU!
I'm not even an artist but this is so interesting and informative to me!
This legend actually just gave an effective and concise tutorial on how to get good work in the Anime industry and he put the tutorial online for free. Excuse me King but I think you might have dropped this 👑
Your videos are so helpful. New subscriber 😁👍
Nice, Dong!
Whenever I look at an animator's drawing, I see a bunch of coloured details. Could you explain how they are used and how to make them?
Hes already explained that, i think the video Is called "an animator process of doodling" where he explained all of those detaila
@@TOTU Does it count as cel shading? There aren't any cels in this production, I feel like it'd just be plain old shading.
9:47 "color separation lines"
Of course it's mappa, every animator has worked with mappa atleast once in their Life
man, animation is heavy work
Love this video! Explains so many things that were unclear to me. I do have a question though: if I wanted to do nigen or genga, what level of dedication would I need? I'm currently a student and don't have hours upon hours of free time. Is it something I could do during a weekend (without working from dawn to dusk), or does it require much more time?
Thanks!
Learn to draw first, kid.
Beautiful ❤️🔥
Yo this is SOO cool
You've been a big inspiration since I saw your work on Deca-Dence, and I'm so glad you are making videos like these. I'm also a Canadian animator hoping to work on anime some day, and seeing the differences between Western and Japanese animation is really interesting to me. I feel like I'm learning so much from your videos, thank you so much for all of this.
Did you do work for Blue Giant, by any chance? I am going to Japan soon and I hope to catch it in theaters if it's still playing.
Decadence was such a gem
I hope to see your full tutorial on how to IB in clipstudio paint cause I want to learn. I'm IB animator in toei phil. btw. we used old stylos software
w rare dong chang upload
Honestly just clicked on the video to figure out what “genga” was. Very good informative video btw 👍
Thank you very much sir!
Hey I was wondering I tried to drag an image onto Clip Studio to animate, but when I did it and tried to draw over it I wasn’t able to draw over it on a new layer, did I do something wrong on it?
I think it's because the new layer you're trying to work on isn't showing up in the timeline. You can try putting the original image + the new layer in a folder inside of the animation folder.
this guy even teaching us how to get work
I like using Clip Studio Paint as well. Currently trying to make a graphic novel on it and I'm slowly starting on an animation project
Clip studio é bem interessante também gosto desse software!
I just noticed that you didn't used the vector layer for linework, is that a must in animating? Great video btw XD
It is not but there are upsides and downsides about working in vector layers! generally for lo/genga raster layers are better since they allow for faster editing, since vector layers are finicky and dont like being erased half the time, plus sometimes vectors can lag a bit. but they are definetly practical in inbetweening, not super necesarry but def can speedup the process if well used
Hi! Love your videos.
Is there any specific reason why you don´t use the Vector layers when you do your cleanups?
I love using the Vector layers when I do my cleanups and linework since it´s so easy to tweak and erase lines I don´t need.
Very informative
Thank you.
I may forget your name, but I'll always be grateful for your help.
Thank you very much for the information
Silly question: Are most studios in Japan now no longer use paper? I'm curious. Videos like this can make people appreciate what has been went through into making their favourite shows.
Some studios in Japan still use paper, mostly in the genga stage.
Since I want to be an animator independently I mean I might work for someone but I also want to do independently but I'm slowly picking up all of the skills that this brings
please make a tutorial about timing charts pleasee
I believe there is one about timing chart .
Very helpful your video I am from India 🇮🇳 love 💕 you
Where gengar
11:27 I see what you did there with the link 😏
Just found out about this recently and this is very helpful. I have a question however and hope there will be a reply to this but is it possible to apply for Ni Gen work without reels?
I had just under 2 years of experience working under a small studio before covid forced me to resign but lost all my works due to a hard drive failure
Hi,any tips on which or where part on the after credits can we usualy find the production managers name?
I'm a 2d japanese style animator as well,and this tip about finding the production managers name that you mention is quite a good help on finding animation works.
Interesting. In western studios I work for all of these notes would be given by the animation supervisor. Character designers don't even interact with the animation team.
I know the animation industry can be hellish but I’d imagine it would actually be quite relaxing if it want for such strict deadlines
amazing.
Now I know where A-1 Pictures got their name from 😮
Thanks for the tutorial!
It's strange but the timing diagrams at your drawing and at your x-sheet are different. Are you sure that the timing is correct? I guess that the x-sheet is wrong.
