Once I found out a majority of animated cartoons are done in foreign countries, a part of me died inside. I want to animate shows like these as my career...
+LagginPotato it takes AGES to animate an episode
It's not like they're forced to it take about nine months to make one episode of Family Guy so they outsource it to save time and money. There are still plenty of places to animate in house.
You doing it now
anyone else wondering how the actual animation is created?
they have premade templates drawn already so they just put the templates together to form an episode, it probably only takes them a week or so to make one episode
+eerniizz Actually, I heard it can take up to eight months just to make one episode. It isn't unlikely, seeing as how some Bob's Burger's episodes take a year to make. They just make them all at the same time, and the voice actors record the whole season in about two weeks.
its a budgeted show, unlike anime they dont draw each and every frame, they simply create the limbs and shit as symbols and move the symbols a little bit, ive seen the streams, rick and morty all do the same style, moving the symbols a little bit, these may take awhile to make, for example its gonna take 2 months of aniamtion to complete a 10 minute scene in rick and morty and thats moving symbols around a little bit at a time, in anime it may take 10 months to make 10 minutes (depending on the quality)
That sounds like southpark. I made a short animation that took me almost two years solo :o
I'm assuming they use 'ToonBoom'
Wow I never knew seth did the alien too... He is a man with many voices... He should do video game voice acting!
Sounds close to peters voice
Roger seems more like a mix of Glenn with Peter if you break it down.
when seth does stan's voice he sounds like a superhero thats what makes him cool
"He does have his limits" - "I can't fake a burp, so you'll have to put that in" HAHAHA.
Seth Mcfarlane is fucking Superman. You have to wonder how one person can be so productive.
"the family guy"
it actually was going to be called "the family guy" but then they dropped the "the"
Really just gonna gloss over that whole "send 60% of the work Korea" thing, huh?

Happens all the time. Check the production credits of your favorite animated show.
@@beatstar2 Yes but if you even care a little you can easily tell what shows do this
I think it used to be animated here, but now that they do flash animation, animation is just busy work that will be useless to do when they can just start production on new episodes later.
@@theshadow9238 the animation has been done in korea ever since it premeiered
Seth MacFarlane “I can’t fake a burp, so you’ll have to put that in”
Justin Roiland “amateur ”
true

Can't tell if "it gets finished in Korea" is a joke or not...
I don't think it's a joke. It's a way to keep production moving. Since people over there are awake while we're asleep, that makes the animation process 24 hours aday. I'm pretty sure Dreamworks and Disney do the same thing.
Scott Karrasch Can't they do it on the computer?
Sal Khan animation is regularly outsourced to Korea and India. Read the credits of many animated movie and shows and you will find a large clump of Indian and Korean names. It's way cheaper, since everything can be shared online, to pay a 20 Koreans that 20 Americans living in LA
toddthefoxify But Seth MacFarlane is a liberal. That means that he thinks that corporations and the rich are screwing over this country by hoarding all their money for themselves, so isn't it hypocritical of him to hold that viewpoint while having his show animated in Korea instead of the US?
I agree 100%
I work in the animation field and more jobs are sent to Asia every year. It sucks.
Seth MacFarlane isn't a guy out to change the world, he's a guy with a shitty TV cartoon trying to wrestle cash from young white American males age 18-35. It might make me cynical but the truth is that's the way everybody does it. Fox certainly won't pay for Americans to animate it.
I've been searching for Seth doing Rogers voice on camera for years and now I see this that was uploaded in 2008.....okay.
OMG LOL
I love Seth's animation and voice
Q: How did Family guy looked advanced in animation back in the late 2000s?
A: The backgrounds were digitally traced. And the characters were hand drawn on paper, with very thin ink to blend with the background, and cleaned up some streaks left behind. Then finally placed on a scanner, and was digitally colored on a computer of course.
@strictpolicy its true the animatics are sent to south korea where its colored and animated. It's like that for most animated shows.
I will look it up! Thanks for the suggestion! I thought it would be fun to try to do some animation myself, but didn't know whether this was available to the general public or whether you could only get it if you were a professional! Thanks again! :-)
awesome shows....keep up the good work Seth
"Animating"
Benny Trinh
Back when they actually animated it.
Sent to Korea for the final animation????!
seth is like one of my idols
Thank you Wall Street Journal! I love you!
Thank you for the information! :-)
Coooolllll.....^_^ I have always wanted to see what it looks like inside the studio.
1:52 if you ask me, you should’ve stuck to paper
Boy I can't wait to be an animator for my cartoon.
Did you make it?
It takes patience he can do it
How'd it go?
Same!
@@Osman16552 it went successful I am now an award winning animator over at your mom’s studio
is nobody going to bring up how this was the first time the cleveland show was ever actually shown to the public?
this came out in sep. 2008, the cleveland show wouldn't air until over a year later
It wasn't actually the first time. The first time was in early 2008 when it appeared under no official name on FOX's development slate. It was given the official name of _The Cleveland Show_ in May 2008 on the premiere slate for the 2008-09 television season.
great job on the story John
14 years ago 😮 would love to see a actuell make of
i love it how if someone dies in an episode, they are never shown again on family guy
Thats so cool, i want that animation program they use.
The Story Soard program is Toon Boom Strory Board Pro, also they animate with Toon boom harmony
It's standard in the industry. From King of the Hill to Regular Show, they all do it.
I thought that the animation was made in goanimate
seth so talented
That didn’t exactly answer my question about animating.
GIMMIE SOME OF THAT FRANNY FANNY!!
I wondered if the animation software that they are using from 1:48 to 2:08 is for sale to the public or only to pros, and I also wondered literally what the name of the program "is"? I think it would be fun to make videos too, so I would like to know! Thanks for the info, if anyone knows! :-)
roger s voice makes me laugh all the time
What program do they use today?
Lol look at steve 0:46
seth is amazing...amazing guy
hey just wanted to know Are you alive?
@@poojan06 yes
i love seth macfarlane ;) x
1:10 Brian's added to that wall :,(
And then he was taken down again! :D
Diane Simmons is on the wall too.
the first guy was surely talking about The Cleveland Show
American Dad = best show on national television!
Yeah would've never imagined o:!
what program do u use?
Seth does so many voices.
Nowadays, the animation for Family Guy is so simple that an AI can do it in under 6 hours. No more sending most of the work to Korea. Who knew Family Guy is so innovative.
They still send it to Korea
Right Stan Righ 😅😅😅😅
I’d love to visit the FamGuy studio
So they're from Korea. Oh well. They do a damn good job.
What was that software
I am currently watching this episode O_o
@PartyByMyself Thanks, dude!
My mom's friend actually dated Seth once. He proposed to her too, but she turned him down.
What program do they use to make the digital storyboards?
Toom Boom Harmony
WHAT EPISODE IS THIS
is that toon boom studio,toon boom harmony or toon boom animate pro or toon boom animate
What is that animation system they used? I'm creating my own animated show.
Really
MrRpdcheese1 toon boom
I can't tell you, but you can do the same with many programs, including photoshop obviously, but corel painter and others as well ...
2:04 what program are they using?
Luke Cage toon boom
Seths normal voice is pretty much like Brians voice
1:55 is that the REALLY expensive wacom art touch screen tablet... thing? :D
Give me some of that Franny Fanny. LMAO
i wanna that pinball!
These shows are literally one of the funniest shows ever concieved
True
Hey what’s that story boarding program called I’ve seen it before
Toon Boom I think
What program do they use
I think they use toon boom. Win 8.1 in 2008 ? )
They did the storyboarding with In StoryBoard Pro a Toon Boom branch off. I have and use both and an tell by the interface. The final is also made with Toon Boom Harmony (since its stated on Toon Bomm's website)
Ms paint 😂
Go! Animate.
Drew Katzen You can’t draw In goanimate
on which program is it made, toon boom or flash
Toonboom
I honestly like American Dad! a little better than Family Guy. Although Family Guy still manages to get a chuckle out of me at times.
I like American dad cuz I like roger. That's about it for me xD
American dad is better
8:25 suddenly THE CLEVELAND SHOW IN 2008
I would love to work at Family Guy and American Dad..!
Why doesn't RUclips deinterlace all those old footage.
I only came here for the part they left out...
you can make animations in photoshop cs4
What software and tablet they are using 1:50
Flyte Dev toon boom
D'Family Time
Anyone notice at 0:40 that the character design for Steve in the background is different?
MBGamingLegends that’s Steve from the unAired pilot of American dad
Who's the guy that draws them?
There are; more, questions.
Than, answers.😔
The Unknown Void.
Same thing for the simpsons and tons of other shows.
hmmm I know you can do similar thing in photoshop but its very long... otherwise you can use anime studio pro to animate with a bone system similar to 3d programs
Family guy literally makes fun of older people calling the show "the family guy", and here the wall street journal themselves did it
Please update the title. Something like: 'how they palm off most of the animating work at family guy' - if you are studying animation - do not click this video if you want to learn anything.
Paddy Tanager was funny as hell, yeah I said he was funny, big whoop, wanna fight about it?
Why this isn't removed is a mystery to me.
"It's just called Family Guy"
"Omg you look like statue of liberty's pimp!👏"
Me:👌😂😮😆
Bryana Colbert Me: Why are you using emojis?
Highlyintellectual Xenosaur To show how funny it was.
It looks like Storyboard Pro and a Wacom Cintiq.
The only way to fill in is in Korea, The Simpsons do it to.
i knew it! allmost all the animation is done in asia, thought that was just a rumour
guess I'll have to take a trip to korea to find the real answers...
Has no one from the show corrected them on the video's title? "THE Family Guy"? They hate that.
haha found that funny, 2 minutes of slow build up of them talking about pre-production of the 'Animating' process and just quickly says 'sent off to korea' to sum up the whole inbetweening, clean up, colouring process.
Outsource the work to Korea. Seth is a credit to capitalism.
@metaknight234 lol i wasnt really calling you a liar. Just saying that really hard to believe. sorry :]
What is the software that they use?
+cap10spanky Thank you! :)
+Ádám Szabó Toon Boom Harmony
TOON BOOM :D
wtf where is Cleveland show
@ZEFxX I really didn't think anyone would believe it. Just throwing that fact out there.
