Sakuga pt.2 - The Japanese Animation Process in a Nutshell

Presenter Sean Bires (that's me!) shows you how anime is made. I gloss over some important steps such as the "layouts". If you want the straight dope on the anime production process, here it is-- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING: http://www.pelleas.net/aniTOP/index.php/the-anime-production-line

The use of copyrighted clips in this video is fair use, as the clips are limited length at web resolution, attributed (in YouTube annotation overlays), and used for the explicit purposes of criticism.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Check out the new Anipages Daily article (Oct. 23rd, 2011) called "The Anime Production Line"

That storyboard pan early on is from Ghost in the Shell, isn't it? When she's fighting the Fuchikoma in the warehouse?

[te2rx]

@WyattEpp Yeah, there was a Japanese edition of the movie that came with Mamoru Oshii's full storyboard in print. I scanned a page of it for this segment, which sort-of connects later on in the panel when I talk about the guy who animated the scene.

1. Yes, it's Noein

2. Remember when Divx.com hosted videos? There used to be lots of sakuga-interest downloadables on it. The full clip shows Ryo-Timo's entire part. I imagine it comes from the region-2 (Japanese) DVDs because I don't think this making-of extra is on the region-1 (USA) DVDs.

3. While I've been trained in 2D animation, I'm not an animator professionally. The information presented here is bare-bones basic anyway.

The Key animation example... Isn't it Noein?

[te2rx]

@RebootEDC or actually, the first example is Noein, while the final example is Birdy: Decode 2

If you haven't, I would buy a copy of The Animator's Survival Kit. Don't be put off by the 'western' sensibility of cover and the characters-- animation principles are universal, and the author of the book is arguably the most accomplished and learned among the craft. Keep it up!

[ByondRAGE]

I'm becoming a skilled animator for future production of possible anime and other animated creations. This is very helpful information, i have to do all the key animation, in-betweens, and coloring and composition, since i work alone for the time being.

These videos are helping me understand which process i should use, thank you for posting these.

Such an awesome presentation / seminar.. but why the hell attendance so small!!! I'll go to these presentations ANYTIME over the economics seminars in my department

The "design sheets" are actually called model sheets and that's how continuity is maintained. If the key animation is right, it's 'on-model' if it's not, it's 'off-model'.

@te2rx

Noein US version has that key animation (Saku-Satsu/pencil test) clips.
