I’m really glad you made this video. As an animator, I animate every episode of my show all by myself and some people don’t realize how time consuming and incredibly hard it can be. Not to mention I have other projects on the side to do. Maybe this video will open the eyes of people who haven’t gotten into making art or people that are demanding new animations! Anyway amazing video as always, James!
Real Odd1sOut ogs will understand how big of a deal the beard is. Pure character development, I say. There was once a time when James said he couldn't get a singular strand of hair anywhere on his head except his hair, but look at my boy now!
People tend to say that they would like to watch a whole video about some minor stuff but they would probably not thats why i strangled my wife to death and threw my child of the balcony
As a voice actor, hearing people say “stop complaining, it’s just talking into a microphone. It’s easy” makes me angry. It is not just that. It’s finding people who will pay you enough so you can live for at least a month, making sure you get the voice down and don’t kill your voice from, possibly over 80 attempts, saying one sentence and making sure that all of it is perfect and it sounds like a natural conversation, not some dude sitting in his bedroom talking to himself. Entertainment and animation is hard, and I hate how not a lot of people understand it. Also, I’d love to see how the animation pipeline works. I wanna see how they can get drawing to move like their real so seamlessly
EXACTLY! I've been trying to audition for VA. It's not easy. At all. You need to get your voice down pat, make sure it doesn't hurt you, it's a lot of acting because you have to say the same sentence over 20xs trying to get it correctly. You are a genuine actor. The only difference is that the public doesnt see you. Hell, up until the 2000s, no one noticed voice actors like they do now but now many travel. It's the rise of the internet.
Where can I find you? Like are you on movies or videos games or just starting out. And maybe you can give me some tips on voice acting as i kinda wanna be one.
My respect for the animators at WIT and MAPPA has increased infinitely. AOT has such stellar animation, that I'm surprised that they didn't take a decade to make it.
I love that they took the time on the background in the apartment building to make the windows to perfectly spaced them out first they got the windows to be placed evenly from the floors up then they moved it up for the angle. So good ❤
As someone interested in being in animation, it’s pretty cool that James talked about the animation pipeline! It’s a lot of work and a lot of collaboration. Thanks for educating! I really appreciated that ally background

Actually, James should make a video talking about the animation pipeline. It's really interesting and educating for the people who want to make it into the animation industry
backgrounds are something we did for our homeschool plays, they were very time consuming and not even the most difficult things (except we had a mountain view with a waterfall and a path leading all the way around...... that one was long), backgrounds are so underappreciated
It's so weird how his voice sounds so much higher when he's in character, but when I see him with that beard I think the deepness of his voice really stands out.
I'm honestly impressed that background ONLY took 7 hours to make, it looks amazing. I'm no illustrator, but I know doing something like that as a graphic designer would take me... like, days. Okay, I'm not a very good graphic designer. But still, that's amazing you've got a really talented team!
5:24 I decided to calculate how long it would take to make this exact video, using this estimated measurement. This video is 9 minutes and 37 seconds long, that's about 577 seconds. Divide by 4 and multiply by 7 ( amount of seconds of content per hour), and then divide by 24 to get the calculation in days. That's 42 days of non-stop art making. No sleep, no food, no breaks, just art. It really goes to show how difficult art creation really is.
@@cosmosignite6589 you think that you are Indian so you can tell someone you are one than they can help yall to solve Covid? Dun tell everyone you are Indian it doesn't matter btw I love your animation flash in rahul
I wouldn't call this an "art rant", I'd call it mandatory viewing material for anyone wanting to be an artist. Also for us non-artists, you explained this environment (pun intended) really well. You make great videos, but this is clearly one of your best.
The fact that James is telling us behind the scenes of animating really makes you acknowledge and appreciate the time and effort that must've been spent into this video even more
Hes right an animator has to animate EVERY SINGLE FRAME and not miss a single one. The fact his videos are smooth and have colour is amazing. That toxic comment was a guy with spare time looking for something to do.
One 22 minute South Park episode takes 6 days to make, and as an animator I jumped out of my chair. The brainstorming, scripting, animating, voice acting, and editing are all done in 6 freaking days. It's just absolutely mindblowing seeing how well made these episodes are in that short period of time. Animation takes time, but keep in mind that there's a whole process besides the animation.
Plus not to meantion they’ve been doing that for YEARS they’re pipeline is stupid solidified cause the entire team has a full layout before they start. There’s honestly no way they aren’t just immediately crunching from day 1 though like gd
A lot of time in the off season they flesh out ideas and take notes to potentially be used in an episode. every so often they do special episodes that are made in the off season and take loads of time to make like the hand animated ninja episode or the heavy metal one that uses rotoscope
Answering to that comment James mentioned: Writers and artists don't necessarily have to draw or write and release an episode every week to keep up with a release date of the finale or anything, but creating an ENTIRE season BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE is decided has the writer make more time to edit or add more to a story. Edit: I want to thank all of your kind souls for showing you appreciate this comment! I never had so many people like any of my comments!
As an artist and one who's delved into animation before, I thought this video was genius in demonstrating it's points and I really appreciate you making something like this.
I can relate. I started a few months ago with animation, and honestly. I am not surprised I get stressed out while animating. Plus my animations are always lazy.
for the people pointing out the fingers after he said he can't draw fingers: I'm willing to bet that one of his hired artists drew those fingers. every single finger. not a single finger was personally drawn by james. at all
5:12 as someone who draws characters sometimes and entirely ignores the fact that backgrounds exist, the fact that an awesome drawing like that with perspective, depth, texture, detail, and a satisfying colour scheme took only 7 hours is astonishing to me. Mad props to Annie!
As a fellow artist/ animator who's trying to get started in the creative industry, I can only say Thank You for using your platform to educate people on this process! :) And also that food is needed to stay alive.
This should be shown to everyone asking why we don’t have season 1 of Hazbin yet. The deal only went through last *year*, guys, you’re lucky we get Helluva Boss at all.
I mean, I looked at episode 6 and the animation in the fighting scene literally shows the amount of time put into it! There are shows that CAN make an episode per week, but they are cheap and horribly written for the most part (this of cause does not include south park!). Vivziepop and the team know what they do and they want to make something great. But it takes time. And I'd rather wait 6 months or longer for one episode and later recommend the entire series to my friends because it's hilarious and awesome, than beeing unhappy with the result of time pressure.
3:44 yes, this is literally so real Like you have to deal with storyboarding, producing, directing, making the setting, voice acting, backround making, screen making, sound effects, AND animate and EVEN MORE is so hard man. I have a show and each one takes like 2 or three months. Man that was literally just a storyboard! Like I had to do it all by myself So if there's one person seeing this comment and plans to make a show, please work with anyone as long you're not alone. :(
*Animation studios: Our employees love work! We pay them 100,000$ Per month.* *The truth: ARE YOU DONE WITH THE SEASON?!? WE HAVE 17028022937383781 SEASONS TO GO!*
There is an anime Shirobako about 5 girls who decided to work in animation industry. (It is based on real-life workflow and most of the characters are even based on real people from anime industry). And for manga industry there is Bakuman. It is bigger and much more story-driven, but still gives pretty good explanation about the BTS of the industry.
As someone who does art as a hobby, I really appreciate this video because it's a struggle a lot of artists go through. I have family and friends telling me to pursue art as a career when they don't understand the difficulties. Thanks, James!
I'M SO GLAD THIS VIDEO EXISTS, people do not appreciate artists enough. I work with some artists and honestly pay them for their time and respect them for taking the time to work on backgrounds, my character and etc. appreciate your art friends and support them through the whole process.
Same! I frown when my artist friends downplay or under sell themselves. I'm glad their trying to work with my budget but when I know for a fact they should be paid more, I do so. They get suprised so I remind them every time to know their worth, and that if I was broke that's my problem not theirs.

I can help you draw hands it took me sometime to learn, I also figured out how to 3d model hands as well. Except it doesn't look as good as 2d hands.
Let me explain studios not being able to draw mouths

backgrounds are something we did for our homeschool plays, they were very time consuming and not even the most difficult things (except we had a mountain view with a waterfall and a path leading all the way around...... that one was long), backgrounds are so underappreciated

It's so weird how his voice sounds so much higher when he's in character, but when I see him with that beard I think the deepness of his voice really stands out.

I'm honestly impressed that background ONLY took 7 hours to make, it looks amazing. I'm no illustrator, but I know doing something like that as a graphic designer would take me... like, days. Okay, I'm not a very good graphic designer. But still, that's amazing you've got a really talented team!

I decided to calculate how long it would take to make this exact video, using this estimated measurement.
This video is 9 minutes and 37 seconds long, that's about 577 seconds. Divide by 4 and multiply by 7 ( amount of seconds of content per hour), and then divide by 24 to get the calculation in days. That's 42 days of non-stop art making. No sleep, no food, no breaks, just art. It really goes to show how difficult art creation really is.

I wouldn't call this an "art rant", I'd call it mandatory viewing material for anyone wanting to be an artist. Also for us non-artists, you explained this environment (pun intended) really well. You make great videos, but this is clearly one of your best.

I swear I always pause James’ videos to just appreciate all the different backgrounds, his team is amazingly talented!
hi jelly jess!
i dont pause i just look at the video
I know right!
Yeah they’re so talented!
Yeah sure
The fact that James is telling us behind the scenes of animating really makes you acknowledge and appreciate the time and effort that must've been spent into this video even more
Hes right an animator has to animate EVERY SINGLE FRAME and not miss a single one. The fact his videos are smooth and have colour is amazing. That toxic comment was a guy with spare time looking for something to do.
One 22 minute South Park episode takes 6 days to make, and as an animator I jumped out of my chair. The brainstorming, scripting, animating, voice acting, and editing are all done in 6 freaking days. It's just absolutely mindblowing seeing how well made these episodes are in that short period of time. Animation takes time, but keep in mind that there's a whole process besides the animation.
Plus not to meantion they’ve been doing that for YEARS they’re pipeline is stupid solidified cause the entire team has a full layout before they start. There’s honestly no way they aren’t just immediately crunching from day 1 though like gd
it can take them even 3 days to make one, and they just make them as they go, they've even made changes a few hours before an episode aired.
A lot of time in the off season they flesh out ideas and take notes to potentially be used in an episode. every so often they do special episodes that are made in the off season and take loads of time to make like the hand animated ninja episode or the heavy metal one that uses rotoscope
the voice acting is done pretty much only by 2 people, u even more mind blown?
@@murkfv nah pretty much anyone who is a south park fan already knows that lol

Hai

Yeah! That's pretty informative, especially since I'm an aspiring animator still learning about the basics of animation.

@@jamessicard1705 Alrighty, thanks.
Answering to that comment James mentioned: Writers and artists don't necessarily have to draw or write and release an episode every week to keep up with a release date of the finale or anything, but creating an ENTIRE season BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE is decided has the writer make more time to edit or add more to a story.
Edit: I want to thank all of your kind souls for showing you appreciate this comment! I never had so many people like any of my comments!
Also releasing one episode every week keeps people from binging it all in one day and expecting another season by the next month
Not funny
There's also the money to consider my favourite animation on TH-cam has gotta be Habin Hotel and how it was in production for 4 years

for the people pointing out the fingers after he said he can't draw fingers:
I'm willing to bet that one of his hired artists drew those fingers.
every single finger.
not a single finger was personally drawn by james. at all
Like fr, that’s why he hired several talented artists, to help him out.
Yeah
and im willing to bet his "bad" would prolly look great to me anyway, good & bad is subjective.
@Tommyinnit wins tommy stop
Not even the finger that was pointed at james was drawn by james
James: I can’t even draw hands!
Also James: 1:36
5:12 as someone who draws characters sometimes and entirely ignores the fact that backgrounds exist, the fact that an awesome drawing like that with perspective, depth, texture, detail, and a satisfying colour scheme took only 7 hours is astonishing to me. Mad props to Annie!

This should be shown to everyone asking why we don’t have season 1 of Hazbin yet. The deal only went through last *year*, guys, you’re lucky we get Helluva Boss at all.
I mean, I looked at episode 6 and the animation in the fighting scene literally shows the amount of time put into it! There are shows that CAN make an episode per week, but they are cheap and horribly written for the most part (this of cause does not include south park!). Vivziepop and the team know what they do and they want to make something great. But it takes time. And I'd rather wait 6 months or longer for one episode and later recommend the entire series to my friends because it's hilarious and awesome, than beeing unhappy with the result of time pressure.
@@lykanaslupus I am really convinced that episode 6 had the most high budget out all the episodes,and most time put on it
Where is hazbin hotel ep2?
I'm awake 😩😩
@@panpanpandesal episode 2 won’t be released, episode 1 has to be released first since only the pilot has been released.
3:44 yes, this is literally so real
Like you have to deal with storyboarding, producing, directing, making the setting, voice acting, backround making, screen making, sound effects, AND animate and EVEN MORE is so hard man. I have a show and each one takes like 2 or three months.
Man that was literally just a storyboard! Like I had to do it all by myself
So if there's one person seeing this comment and plans to make a show, please work with anyone as long you're not alone. :(
When he shouted out his friend for that 4 seconds background which was made for 7 hours was so sweet.

Despite not being an animator, I'd actually love to hear about the animation pipeline. Seems super interesting.
fun fact, animation studios sometimes have a guy whos whole job is to just erase lines. They are part of the cleanup step in the animation pipeline
There is an anime Shirobako about 5 girls who decided to work in animation industry. (It is based on real-life workflow and most of the characters are even based on real people from anime industry). And for manga industry there is Bakuman. It is bigger and much more story-driven, but still gives pretty good explanation about the BTS of the industry.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW HE SAYS HE “CAN’T DRAW HANDS” BUT EVERY SCENE AFTER, HIS HANDS ARE *BEAUTIFUL*
Because he doesn't do the art anymore

Same! I frown when my artist friends downplay or under sell themselves. I'm glad their trying to work with my budget but when I know for a fact they should be paid more, I do so. They get suprised so I remind them every time to know their worth, and that if I was broke that's my problem not theirs.
