Thanks so much for the video! I'm an animator/writer who wants to hire people to help me out with animation for my show and this definitely pointed me in the right direction!
I love this video it's extremely educational as someone who wants to do animation one day. I'd really love if one day you consider making a guide about how you do your clip studio paint along with your settings and brushes. Or just a tutorial more focused on animations for clip studio paint!
Good idea. A lot of my brushes and settings came from Nicca Ch’s channel so if you looks at their old CSP animation tutorials, the brushes and auto-actions are there.
Thank you so much for all these insights and details into your production process. It really helps to figure out the steps needed 👏 I second the previous comment suggesting you write it all down in a book. Would be a winner. Meanwhile, I've grabbed a copy of your Notion template. Let's make this happen 😺
This is so interesting to see! The amount of detail you went it was also super helpful. I'd love to work for this kind of small studio someday, it sounds great! especially with the projects changing often ~ (i love doing lineart and coloring the most and have been told by my friends that's slightly insane x))
I use a variation of screenplay format for a project that I'm tackling in the Fall, but instead of animation, I'm using Space Engineers, and because of that, I could make a much simpler pair of storyboard images for reference between me and my bro as well.
how about the costs? how much did you pay per keyframes/inbetweens/voices, average cost per video etc? Just the ballpark is already helpful enough thanks
Let’s look at animation only, as an example. Assuming I am a terrible studio that pays super low: I pay $30 per shot, for every part of the process (4 steps I pay for: roughs, cleanup, inbetweens, coloring). I have 57 shots on one of my recent animations. 57 shots x $30 x (4 steps of the pipeline) alone is around $6,840, and that’s if every shot is consistent. Some shots I’ve paid over $200 for, some for lower than $15 sometimes. This will dramatically increase costs, especially for bigger animations and if I want to pay my team fairly while also trying to, y’know, actually *pay rent* and such. That’s not even taking into consideration paying for voice actors, background artists, character reference artists, compositor, digital software, etc. And this animation itself only turned out to be like 6 minutes long. Imagine trying to make a 30 minute long anime episode with just my small team. This is why I do 90% of the shots myself, to save on costs. Why do you think indie productions need so much funding? It took Critical Role nearly $11 million to help produce just the first season of The Legend of Vox Machina, before Amazon Prime picked it up. Animation. Is. Expensive.
Tried that, got a lot of hate from an animator that worked on JJK and One Piece, he rallied a bunch of JPN animators against me and basically I have less chance of getting eyes on my content due to the hate. I’ll keep on keeping on, until something more positive happens.
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations aww, sorry to hear that. We Animators should stick together, especially when it comes to finding creative ways to make cash.(especially now since work is sparse and we gotta make money where we can until those big companies relent on wages) I've seen old books on how to manage animation studios but they're for older established places, updated stuff would have helped the artform more accessible for newbies. I know some kids I've mentored liked having something tangible to look at if I wasn't there to give advice. Well hopefully things work out for you.
Thanks. If I don’t get blacklisted by the entire Japanese anime studio community, then I’ll try to continue and hopefully work towards a course or book or some other platform.
I answered this on TikTok. I make money from Adsense on TH-cam (I run 3 semi-active channels), and I get money from TikTok (Creator Fund Beta), oh and I work a full time job on top of doing an anime production. Hence this video where I show my production process and how to be productive 👍👍
I want to make an animation studio I already have a buisness partner plans for severel seres an animation tablet I just need to know how to hook up the animation software krita and please tell me how much did it cost to hire in between Eee and voice actors and where did you get them from
@@himesh8306I shouldn't be the one answering since I'm not a professional, but if blender has animation stuff 2d (for anime animations with frames etc) then yes I believe it's fine. Normally any apps are fine as long as they do the job 🤷(my opinion)
Current animation and voice team are people I either handpicked or were recommended based on their skills and work ethic, especially in regards to the anime production process. I currently don’t have an open call for new members but if I did I would put out a notice on social media.
That page is a custom one that I made specifically for that project (many months before I created the template on my site, which is a much simpler version meant for beginners - my core audience). If you’d like to recreate what my video shows, I recommend just making a simple database inside that page, and each subpage can be created using a template
Adsense, gaining sponsorships like my Paperlike ambassador link, the fact I gained at least 3+ paid animation jobs that pay pretty well. That, plus I have a fulltime job. I’m doing just fine 👍
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations How do you plan your time on your animation project? You said you have a full-time job and that said you at least spend 40 hours a week on it.

Thanks for making this! You’re helping the next generation of animation come to life.

It's well explained

Finaly
Imo, you should sell a video or book on how to make an indie studio and include paygrade, budgeting, ect, in there. You would make a mint. 💲💲💲

How do you fund your animation project??
I answered this on TikTok. I make money from Adsense on TH-cam (I run 3 semi-active channels), and I get money from TikTok (Creator Fund Beta), oh and I work a full time job on top of doing an anime production.
Hence this video where I show my production process and how to be productive 👍👍
early!!!
How can you afford to hire people?
I want to make an animation studio I already have a buisness partner plans for severel seres an animation tablet I just need to know how to hook up the animation software krita and please tell me how much did it cost to hire in between Eee and voice actors and where did you get them from
Are you able to do a animation studio without a team?
Bro in which software all you made your anime. Blender?
Clip Studio Paint. I’ve mentioned it multiple times in multiple videos
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations wow that's amazing bro can i use blender for making animes?
@@himesh8306I shouldn't be the one answering since I'm not a professional, but if blender has animation stuff 2d (for anime animations with frames etc) then yes I believe it's fine. Normally any apps are fine as long as they do the job 🤷(my opinion)
@@Willow_Sketchbook thanks for the response mate

Man, I beg you. Can you say, where do you download your 3d models for your backgrounds? What's the websites?
Lately it’s been Acon3D or CSP Assets store
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations thank you. I will check this stuff)
where do you hire your staff?
Current animation and voice team are people I either handpicked or were recommended based on their skills and work ethic, especially in regards to the anime production process.
I currently don’t have an open call for new members but if I did I would put out a notice on social media.
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations Oh I see. I thought maybe you found them via some online freelancing service like fiverr.
I downloaded the template does it not include the animation shots list that you were showing because I can’t seem to find it
That page is a custom one that I made specifically for that project (many months before I created the template on my site, which is a much simpler version meant for beginners - my core audience).
If you’d like to recreate what my video shows, I recommend just making a simple database inside that page, and each subpage can be created using a template
How do you make money from running this business
Adsense, gaining sponsorships like my Paperlike ambassador link, the fact I gained at least 3+ paid animation jobs that pay pretty well.
That, plus I have a fulltime job. I’m doing just fine 👍
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations How do you plan your time on your animation project? You said you have a full-time job and that said you at least spend 40 hours a week on it.
Planning my time doesn’t take very much effort if you just use a calendar like a normal person, and don’t scroll endlessly on my phone.
How to get anyone to even read documents
I don't have MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I can't PAY ANYONE 😭 I CANT HIRE ANYONE
